Where did you get that information? Because all it said in the article was:
Officials became suspicious of potential illegal work intentions after learning the teens had not booked accommodation for their entire five-week stay in Hawaii,
How not booking hotels for their entire trip equates to “potential work intentions” escapes me. If you were planning on working for five weeks, wouldn’t you book a hotel near where you were planning to work? Was there a job lined up? Are we supposed to believe that in the middle of a round-the-world graduation trip, these girls wanted to spend 5 weeks working?

border agents got pissed off and jealous of two rich girls traveling the world, and decided to fuck with them
the girls became indignant at being treated like common illegal immigrants, and mouthed off, and agents decided to teach them a lesson.
