She definitely cannot be charged. And I don't suspect she's in danger of any such thing. Even her parents are probably only theoretically culpable now. But even you would have to admit that her parents did break federal law, though it may be a long-forgotten matter.Alexiev wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 5:02 amShe can't be "charged".

That makes her not culpable. A one-year-old cannot be charged, and can't legally be responsible for a decision made by the adults. But her parents broke federal law, and theoretically, they could be indicted.
It seems unlikely, anyway. They aren't part of the recent migration wave, and I doubt their case will come up.
It seems that the present admin is focusing on the wave of migrants over the last four years, and tightly focuses on the criminal element. And rightly so, of course.
