Seven Members of Extended British Family Being Held at PA Detention Center Two Weeks After Arrest for Border Crossing

UNDATED (AP) — Seven members of an extended British family who made an unauthorized border crossing into the United States from Canada are being held in federal custody at a Pennsylvania detention center nearly two weeks after their arrest. The family says they mistakenly crossed the border into Washington state while trying to avoid an animal in the road. An affidavit says family members have been “treated like criminals” by their jailers. U.S. officials assert the family crossed the border on purpose.
