Ermmm, looking into how immigration officials didn’t question the legitimacy of a 70 year old woman having an underage girl as a biological daughter would also warrant some looking into. She was forced to marry at 13 and brought to the US at 14, and yet the INS didn’t think it was odd that a 70 year old woman had a 14 year old daughter?

Apparently her immigration papers are now invalid. Let’s hope that competence somehow flows into the department and she can be kept in the US based on human rights issues. She is, after all, an escaped slave.
