    You could easily argue she was deported for trying to take the legal route. They grabbed her from her green card hearing

    Realistically I’m sure it’s just laziness. ICE has quotas to meet and they realize they can’t meet them while performing due diligence. So, instead of finding and convicting criminals, set ambushes at immigration courts and places of work. It shows both the stupidity of quotas and the reality of creating “criminals” where none existed before

      True, but it’s a green card hearing that should have been done 29 or 30 years ago when she was 15 or 16 and trying to get her first job. :)

      She’s been here since the George H.W. Bush administration… plenty of time to have worked things out.

        She married the American at 15 or 16?

        So, yeah she should have done it after getting married. Her parents should have spent the thousands on lawyers to get it done as a kid. While sure you can file the paperwork yourself, the process is absolutely horrible for someone who’s a native speaker.

          She’s Canadian, so pretty sure she’s a native speaker. Sure, could be French speaking…

          She didn’t marry at 15 or 16, but that’s generally the age kids look to get their first jobs, that would have been the time to start looking at legal requirements.
