We are living in some weird times.

Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi claimed ICE detained her for two days after she returned from a work trip from Turkey. The problem with this is that it only happened in her imagination. In reality, she checked into a Hampton Inn, where she enjoyed spa treatments, access to the gym, and free food. This is why she now faces a $1 million defamation suit filed by Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt.

According to the New York Post:

US citizen Sundas “Sunny” Naqvi, 28, gained national attention last month when she and a band of supporters — including Cook County, Ill., Commissioner Kevin Morrison — publicly insisted she was unlawfully detained by ICE officers for roughly 43 hours.

Naqvi claimed that after landing back in the US from a work trip to Turkey on the morning of March 5, she was detained for nearly 30 hours at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, then transferred to another ICE facility in Broadview, Ill., before winding up at Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin.

Morrison claimed she was “left on the street by ICE in another state, without her property,” and was forced to hitchhike nine miles. Again, this never happened.

The Department of Homeland Security called the claims “blatantly false” — and even posted surveillance footage from the airport showing Naqvi entering a secondary inspection zone that morning and leaving around an hour later.

Schmidt is requesting a jury trial and seeking damages no less than $1 million per defendant — including 10 “John Does” — who he said caused “reputational harm … particularly as he prepares for a re-election campaign in 2026.”

What is bizarre is that people think they can make up any claim and get away with it, including when it involves false allegations against federal officers. But this is what happens when you lift up people for being victims. Naqvi saw how the left treats people detained by ICE as celebrities, despite many of them having committed terrible crimes, and took that to give herself five minutes of fame. She knows that the justice system won’t hold her accountable, so she took the chance and lied, despite the harm it could have caused.

Unfortunately for her, she is not as smart as she thinks. Her little scheme has now backfired, and her days of being a victim are over, as the real victimizer is she.

Do people really think there are no cameras on every corner? Do people not understand that it only takes the smallest amount of homework to disprove false claims? Or maybe she knew how blindly the left would use her as their little anti-ICE poster child and decided the risk was worth it to get this type of national attention. Nonetheless, her ill-thought-out scheme has backfired, and the reputations she tried to harm are now fighting for justice. Subsequently, her little stunt may have cost her $1 million and a ruined reputation.

People are so incredibly pathetic these days.
