I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

That’s not what the article says. She had a valid visa, but was denied entry and the visa revoked because they thought it was “shady” that the visa had been approved after an initial denial. Later, after getting a new job in the states, she flew to Mexico to go to the San Diego immigration office to re-apply since that’s where she had applied before.

That was disingenuous of her, and it raised all sorts of flags. Justify it all you want, but she tried to game her entry, that part is obvious. Why wouldn't you re-apply at the same place you were refused? Come on, put your thinking cap on …

In the article she explains her lawyer was in San Diego.

The other part is that the article mentions that she shouldn't have applied for the visa at either spot on the border but at the consulate,

The officer I spoke to was kind but told me that, due to my previous issues, I needed to apply for my visa through the consulate. I told her I hadn’t been aware I needed to apply that way, but had no problem doing it.

So reapplying from where she got refused is still the wrong advice.
