U.S. Army Reserve Black Hawk pilot Chris Busby, 28, and Stephanie Kenny-Velasquez, 25, went to an Austin courthouse to get their marriage certificate on Dec. 3.

Roughly 48 hours later, Velasquez entered a Houston Immigration and Customs Enforcement office for a routine check-in and never emerged, Busby said. ...

...

Velasquez came to the United States in 2021 hoping to start a new life far from the violence and political instability of her native Venezuela. She does not have a criminal record and presented herself to immigration officials in Miami when she arrived in the country.

How would that help her? They would simply lock you up in Leavenworth until they feel you learned a lesson.

These people always have a wild, dramatic sense of courage in hypotheticals, never when it hits them in reality.

See, the current state of the USA.

People live with Hollywood mindset.
