The level of incompetence in immigration.
Ex-captive briefly held at New York airport: Report
Israel’s Channel 12 is reporting that Liri Albag was briefly detained at the JFK International Airport in New York City following her arrival in the US for a vacation with her family.
The broadcaster said Albag was taken for questioning because the US immigration system showed that she was being held captive by Hamas, igniting suspicion that someone else was impersonating her.
Albag’s questioning lasted for about an hour, and she was later released with the assistance of staff from the Israeli consulate in New York, the report added.

Hostages Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, all aged 20, and 19-year-old Liri Albag, were all serving with the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) when they were captured on October 7 2023.
So they were POWs but whatever.
It was all over the news, but US immigration can't even bother to update their database. How much else is incorrect in there...

According to Ynet, several Israeli officials worked quickly behind the scenes to resolve the problem, concerned that it would cause the freed hostage mental distress.
And how long do non white non Israeli 'glitches' get held. Oh they simply get 'ICEd'
