You can't make it up.
A Nashville, Tennessee, reporter was detained because she's apparently in the country illegally.
In a written statement, a spokeswoman for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said on Friday that Ms. Rodriguez had overstayed her tourist visa 'and currently has no lawful immigration status.'
But even amid the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement operations, Ms. Rodriguez is an unusual target for detention. She has an active asylum case, a pending green card application through her American husband and no criminal record. In the past, immigrants applying for green cards through their American spouses were not subject to detention, even if they had overstayed their visas.
It's "unusual" to detain people with active asylum claims, but that doesn't change the fact that she is still in the country illegally. It just means we rarely enforce our own laws.

What needs to be corrected? They are "anchor babies" and need to go back with their parents.
I guess fwdude wants her sent back as well?
yes
it is a civil offense
and the penalty is removal
AMF!
The law, or the interpretation of it needs to be corrected.
Until it is, those anchor babies are U.S. citizens and entitled to the rights thereof.
Okay, does she have a valid social security number? Did she fail to report to an immigration court that she was required to do? Is she paying taxes and filing income tax returns? Does she have a valid drivers license, receive public assistance benefits or have children in a public school? Does she use an invalid ID to board an airplane? It is highly unlikely that someone who has overstayed their visa has not committed a crime somewhere along the way.
“No other country on the face of the earth would tolerate anything less.”
Yep, the lunatics on the left tell us we are to be the world’s doormat and if we refuse we should be ashamed of ourselves......pretty rich coming from a bunch of A-holes that have no shame.
Yeah sure.....Tony Montana came here as a refugee and look how THAT turned out.
At least he kills Communists for fun.
have you met his little friend?
where have her SS taxes been applied and her husband using her as a tax advantage.
yes like any unauthorized immigrant at the border, why if y7ou sneak in should you gain rights over citizens.
Tricamex and alike helping more Tony Montana’s enter the country Biden & Co. didn’t make that decision on their own.

Not true. They were frequently overlooked, but there was no legal policy.
>>”According to The Times, Rodriguez fled Colombia as a refugee because her home country didn’t like her reporting.” <<
... which I’m sure she made much more professional and accurate, as she learned her lesson.
Ship her out.
