  1. Some criminals flee their country

  2. Corrupt counties and individual political persons have no incentive to be honest, fair, or truthful to anyone. Their power is in deception and destruction.

  3. They SAY they know what they are doing. Any police agency is only as good as their information sources.

  4. Why hold her for 6yrs? Send her back!!

  5. Obviously, she committed US immigration fraud when she lied on her asylum claim. Persecuted for being LGBT, but has loads of children in both countries.

  6. I just checked the Interpol's Red List and 711 women out of over just 900- 74% were all from Russia. Apparently Interpol is in the business of helping today's modern KGB and Neo Stalinists. Maybe the women are innocent, maybe they are all terrorists as Russia says (even the one's who look like Mother Mary) however that is not right and the sheer numbers show it. Perhaps they were not given any other way besides violence to try to change the Russian political system that was actually oppressing them? Anyway that whole red list is obvious suspect when its being used by Russia to take out political rivals and spread a climate of fear and terror.

  7. Was she locked for 6 years ? Was was she accused of ?

  8. This is her problem! Not ours. Deport now!

  9. I mean its not a mistake she knew the big guys and got out just because u out now dont mean u didnt do bad things lock her back up

  10. El salvador is nice now she should move back with her family i did ❤

  11. SHE'S IN WITH THE CARTEL, FAMILY MEMBERS

  12. if u cant do the time, dont do the crime.

  13. yeah, shocker that a world police was a bad idea….

  14. So much injustice in this world and it just goes on because we let it.

  15. This woman should get an attorney and file a multi billion dollar lawsuit and have the money be split between her and her children, and she should get a very public apology from the entinty that held her and she and her children should be given Automatic Citizenship to the country of her choice

  16. So she is technically a fugitive. She should send her complaints to El Salvador, not the US where she presumably is requesting asylum.
