‘American Pie’ actress says she was detained by ICE while trying to renew her work visa: ‘I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane’

She spent 11 days detained.

“I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” [...] “I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane.” She went on to describe one incident when she and 30 other women were moved in the middle of the night to a facility in Arizona. During the ordeal, she was forced to be “up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”

From CBC.CA (Eagles is her mother's surname):

Eagles said the detainees at the San Luis facility have no sleeping mats or blankets or windows, and the lights are on all day and night.

pretty sure it's France...

Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.

How to deal with a not so good related team that always asks for help?

That's a job for THE MIDDLE MANAGER!! (imagine a crappy super hero)

No, seriously, do not step over your boss to talk to theirs. That's like, the job your boss has, and they might get pissed at you, and, depending on pettiness level, make your life worse. Talk to your boss, explain how and why that's a problem. Make it clear you expect them to solve it.

If and only if they say they can't do anything, you may consider talking to your boss' boss. But not the other team's boss. Before doing that, I'd have hard financial evidence, like the other commenter suggested. Log your hours in their time buckets for at least a month, get others to join you in doing the same, get a report with total amount spent. Then you turn again to your boss and maybe include boss².
