It sounds like she arrived without being on any sort of Visa. I haven’t found any mentions of one, other than she’s a pending asylum case. That could just mean she walked up through the border and claimed asylum.
It really shouldn’t come as a surprise, I think. If you walk into another country without a valid reason to be there, you’re going to be asked to leave. Honduras isn’t currently at war, and a ton of people are abusing the asylum process for purely economic reasons. I feel like articles like this are trying to paint this behavior as cruel and unusual, but it is just the usual.
The refugee process isn’t based on visas, you show up and ask for asylum. It’s been like that for a long time. They aren’t undocumented, they have documents, it isn’t a visa, but there is, or was, at least, an agreement to stay until their case is heard. Trump was basically like “I don’t care what judges say, I’m king and they go”. And here we are.
