but was given the run around
After Guzman requested asylum twenty years ago, says John, she was issued a court date without a time and date. The Supreme Court ruled last year that the practice was illegal, and that notices to appear in court must include times and dates. (There has been some major chaos since the ruling, because the Department of Homeland Security apparently decided to get around it by sending notices with bogus court dates.)
But Guzman missed her unspecified court date, and she was issued an order of removal in absentia. John says Guzman, like many others who have been issued the orders, knew nothing about it and continued to live her life, raising a family and working.
