That sounds all well and good, but remember, this woman’s passport is most likely flagged by the NCIC, and from that, likely through INTERPOL as well.
The minute she crosses a border, that flag pops up and she’s detained by the local authorities, and then deported, back to the US.
Not saying it’s impossible for her, but difficult.
I don’t imagine that Nicaraguan border controls are terribly effective. Neither is that of Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala or Panama. Most of these just do passport stamps, not computers, so Interpol would never find out.
Of course, though, she would only want to go to a country with a Mennonite community.
And if she got over the border successfully, she would be off the radar. At that point, the disinformation could begin in earnest.
What would probably happen would be that the USG would lean even harder on the Nicaraguan government, who would get really pushy to the Mennonites, but get nowhere and nothing, other than told she had gone in a dozen different directions.
The USG would probably take it at face value, and assume at least the first few times that those sneaky Mennonites had used an underground railroad to get her to New Zealand or wherever. So they would contact the government of NZ about it. Then the government of Taiwan, then Nepal, etc.
The neat part is that soon false positives would come in, like ‘Elvis seen in a Taco Bell in Burbank’ type stuff, which would gum up the works even more.
True dat, but the Nicraguan passports of Conchita Gonzalez and her daughter Rosalita are clean as a whistle.
