“I was just held by the US government for nearly two days in a cell,” a teary Mikaela told her TikTok followers.
“I say ‘No ma’am’, and then she says I lied to her face. She pulls up a Twitter photo of me with a bunch of girls from the US, in a country that wasn’t the US.
“I said, ‘I thought you meant in the United States’. It was at that moment I was sent to another room, where they hold people who are not there for good things.”
She claims the room she was sent to was like a “war movie” where they just had a “box of tampons, a kettle and cups of instant noodles”.
“I started breaking down. I was completely searched, I had to take everything off,” she alleges.
“[The room] looks like a war movie. It looks like where they hold people, like, from the war, like the enemies.
“I spoke to a girl, she had been there for three days.”
“It was a rodeo. I was deported back to Australia, I found out an hour before.
“When you’re deported, you’re not allowed to go back through the airport. They put you in a metal car [and] you get driven on the tarmac to the plane door with police officers.
“I was just a mess, but now I’m back in Australia.”
