She had to be cut out of the wire and miscarried soon after.

      And again. Where in the article does it say that it’s booby trapped? There’s not even an image or anything. The only image of barbed wire is one where it’s clearly visible.

        The headline literally calls it a trap.

        And the picture is not the spot. Here is the description from the article:

          The “hidden” claim is only by an anonymous witness reported by a bias source. Like even if the barbwire was hidden, what is the point of the article? That actually our border policy is fine, if only the barbwire fences were painted with high-vis?
