That's the old courthouse in the background. I grew up two blocks from there.

CALIFORNIA — Acting Police Chief Tracy Vitale has been placed on administrative leave amid questions over her citizenship.
(snip)
Vitale's attorney, Chuck LoPresti, said the acting chief was adopted in Germany by her American parents, and brought to the U.S. at age 3. She has always felt that her parents completed all of the paperwork needed to insure her citizenship.
When she applied for any police job, she has answered "yes" to the question of whether she is a citizen because she has always believed that's the case.
But in this case, someone has asked the borough to question Vitale.
LoPresti said a team of attorneys is working with the federal government to prove Vitale's citizenship.

Yes, I thought that was sort of ironic, too.
I think she’s legal under any circumstances because she was legally adopted by (that is, legally became the child of) parents who were undeniably citizens and of legal age. Unless this woman chose otherwise when she was 18, she’d automatically be a citizen.
Of course, not only don’t we know where Baby Barry was born, we don’t even know when he was brought here if he was born elsewhere. We do know that one of his parents wasn’t a citizen, however, and possibly his mother was too young to confer citizenship. But unlike folks in this tiny town, we’ll never be permitted to find out the details.
We only stop asking questions when your name ends in an “o” or an “i”.
So Soetero could cut the mustard?
