I could have started telling this story on Friday, but I didn't feel as though I had enough information, yet.
Friday we had a girl from China who didn't have proper ID and didn't speak much English, and a variety of people got involved in the case. When most of us were leaving for the evening she was still sitting there with a cop and a translator who'd been brought in, and we were told Immigration had sent an agent. Last night we got more of an update from the cop, K-of-BBQ, who was involved.
Turns out her parents are in prison in China for having the wrong religion (we don't know what), and she escaped by getting hooked up with an illegal prostitution ring who got her to the U.S. She made some money with that in New York, but got arrested eventually. She made her bail and was given a court date to look into her request for political asylum, and until that date she's free to go anywhere in the U.S. If she doesn't show up they don't seem to have any particular plan to go out and get her - I'm sure they've decided she's not really any sort of threat.
