> CBP agents at the border accused Brösche of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver program by intending to work as a tattoo artist during her trip to LA, Lofving said.

This seems to be key point - but sounds awfully subjective if you can just be accused. Did she bring her tattoo equipment or something? I mean a person could type or code on a laptop too for work...

Edit: yes, apparently:

> According to Lofving, Brösche had equipment on her that she used for tattooing, and this may have been part of the reason for her detention.

Still seems a dumb criteria.
