Looking for information about the federal arrest.View attachment 522342
Found a few more details on the 2023 arrest, that was actually the date of her 17th birthday.
Section 212 relates to someone's ability to re-apply for admission. You have to "apply for permission to reapply for admission.
Section 237 relates to reasons for deportation from US. There are these main categories:
General Crimes [seticle]
Failure to Register and Falsification of Documents [see article]
Security and Related Grounds [see article]
Public Charge [see article]
Unlawful Voters [see article]
Essentially, 212 says she was supposed to be removed because she had not applied for permission to reapply for admission (which means she had tried to cross before and was turned away, or was found in the US and was deported and needed to request the ability to try again, not just show up).
And 237 sys she had: failed to register or offered falsified documents; or provide proof she wouldn't be on the public dole (she could support herself and not need public assistance); or she voted illegally. It would be hard to envision that she posed a risk to security of the nation or did general crimes, but maybe.
The way I read it, she was arrested and supposed to be removed from the country (deported). But she somehow made it back into the country?
