Bullshit. Asylum is only granted to non visa holders who show a likelihood of persecution in their home country. The gummint has every right to appeal it. Since 99% of asylum seekers get found to be unworthy and get shipped home, she should count herself lucky for passing the first and biggest hurdle. This story is the same as it would have been pre-9/11, I note, so this is not DHS/ Ashcroft fallout.

She'll be out soon and will have a quick in-road to US citizenship -- a good thing of course, since it's what she wanted.

For real detainee issues, I'm all game, but you should know more about immigration asylum cases before labelling this as wrong.
