The lady you are referring to is Farida Ahmed. She is Pakastani. She was using a south African passport. She was convicted by a federal grand jury in Houston for being in the country illegally, altering her passport and lying to federal agents. Her trial is scheduled for October 10, a week and a half away.
It is hard for me to believe we are spending so much money on a federal grand jury and now a federal trial if she is not connected to terrorism. We also have to pay for her lawyer.
This will be an interesting trial as evidently one of these charges must be a felony to warrant such action. Is lying to the feds a felony? Is being in the country illegally a felony? Is altering your passport a felony? At least she had a passport which most illegals don't have.
IMO, if she gets jail time, you can bet she is connected to Al Quaeda. Otherwise, she should have been turned over to an immigration judge and deported.
Hopefully, all of you will keep an eye out for this trial. If I hear or see anything down here, I will let you know.
You see, they can lie to us continually (see Ridge's comment above), but if you lie to them, they have every right to kill you if it suits their purposes.
