This UK citizen was shackled and transported to an ICE detention center where she was locked up for 19 days, even though she had the money to pay for a flight home and was desperate to leave the US. Now back home in the UK, Ms. Burke tells others thinking of going to Trumpf's America: Don't do it.
I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Lyrics excerpt ...

[Letra de "Guantanamera"]
[Coro]
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
[Verso 1]
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Yo soy un hombre sincero
En donde crece la palma
Antes de morir me quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
[Coro]
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera
[Verso 2]
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmn encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmn encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo
[Puente]
The words mean "I am a truthful man from the land of the palm trees
And before dying, I want to share these poems of my soul
My poems are soft green
My poems are also flaming crimson
My poems are like a wounded fawn seeking refuge in the forest"
The last verse says, "Con los pobres de la tierra"
"With the poor people of this earth I want to share my fate
The streams of the mountains please me more than the sea"
(Con los pobres de la tierra
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
Con los pobres de la tierra
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
El arroyo de la sierra
Me complace ms que el mar)
...
A song I remember prominently from my childhood ...
