Question:
If this lady had a deportation order, shouldn’t the DHS/Border/Customs and TSA had her on their computers to deny her re-entry after her return from Africa?
Just another glitch...GWB has made the borders watertight don’cha know.
The article doesn't say when the deportation order was given, and I don't see anything about her reentering in the article.
But to answer your question, our systems have greatly improved in the past few years. People coming through now that have deportation orders in the system are caught and returned. I can't speak to the systems pre-9/11, since I was with the Dept of the Navy then.
