Detained Welsh tourist back in UK, father says | UK News

A Welsh backpacker detained in the US has arrived back in the UK, her father has confirmed.

Becky Burke, 28, had been held in a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing centre for about two weeks after being denied entry at the US-Canada border.

Her father Paul Burke, from Portskewett, Monmouthshire, told Wales that his daughter is now back in the country.

Mr Burke previously said he hoped his daughter would be released following a combination of media, social media and diplomatic pressure after her case was first made public last week.
