If they are all acquitted of any/all charges then I will be as happy as you.
People are very, very, very rarely arrested without cause, however.

That is not too "honest" is it?  Maybe you respect that.  I do not.

If one breaks immigration laws they are not "law abiding".  They are criminals.
Perhaps they read different scriptures than people who do obey laws.  Or
maybe they cross out the "inconvenient" words that keep them from rationalizing
their behaviour.

Oh well.  People get what they deserve.  If they behaved illegally, they
will be enjoying sunny Gambia again soon.

Good luck.
