sadly in today's world the news calls everyone legal or illegal an immigrant.

If she is a citizen how did she become a citizen with this criminal record?
I don't really know. The article isn't real clear on her current status. I'm assuming she is a refugee because I wouldn't expect an illegal with her arrest record to do something so stupid. As for being a citizen, no, I don't believe that is the case. If she was a citizen, she wouldn't have been identified as a Congolese immigrant. Everything we've been provided makes me think she is here as a refugee.
