I for one don't know that. She's married to a state senator, not a U.S. senator or U.S. representative. ICE or the USCIS could give a rat's petootie what a state senator thinks or does. Hell, they frequently could give a rat's petootie what a federal lawmaker thinks, as anyone who has tried to have one intercede on his behalf with these folks can tell you. (I haven't but I know some who have.)
If she and he have a legitmate beef with how the situation stands, as YOU stated, then they have nothing to worry about. The only problem I see is that she avoided the situation by hiding out and not facing her accusers. I'm sure they'll be able to find a sympathetic judge that will let her stay.
One thing is certain though. All the whining and bitching on this forum will have no bearing on what happens.
