She said he was handcuffed to a chair for hours until he said he had been born in Mexico, even though he was born in a McAllen hospital.

Two possibilities:

(1) She's lying. Who would deny their own citizenship if they knew records would prove it?, or

(2) She is an anchor baby, in which case they should deport her anyway, and let her lawsuit be taken to the SCOTUS, where "birthright citizenship" needs to be ended once and for all.

“Who would deny their own citizenship if they knew records would prove it?”

Probably for the same reason people confess to murders they couldn’t possibly have done after 8 hours of police interrogation.

If she is lying (which I think is the most likely scenario, she should be barred entry. If she had “birthright citizenship”, she should be admitted. We go by the laws we have, not the ones we believe we should have.

BTW, the “McAllen hospital” story did not refer to this woman, but a man that some random lawyer, interviewed for the story, allegedly represented “several years ago”. I do suspect the reporter was trying to induce readers to incorrectly draw that conclusion, though.

“San Benito lawyer Lisa Brodyaga said she represented a man several years ago who was a U.S. citizen denied re-entry into the United States at Laredo. She said he was handcuffed to a chair for hours until he said he had been born in Mexico, even though he was born in a McAllen hospital.”

Speaking of ending birthright citizenship, what was the state that brought this question to the courts and does anyone know what became of it.
