And this news article is enough to put her in stressful years-long proceedings to revoke her green card and citizenship, if the government wants to.

  This isn't so hypothetical to me anymore. The position of the US government is it can revoke citizenship based on failing to disclose a speeding ticket. This is an extremely dangerous position. > They asked about a form that people seeking American citizenship must complete. It requires applicants to say, for instance, whether they had ever committed a criminal offense, however minor, even if there was no arrest. A government lawyer, in response to questioning, said that failing to disclose a speeding violation could be enough to revoke citizenship even years later. The Supreme Court rejected the arguments: > The justices unanimously rejected the government’s position that it could revoke the citizenship of Americans who made even trivial misstatements in their naturalization proceedings. However, it isn't immediately obvious at least to me that the SCOTUS can't revisit this issue in the future. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/22/us/politics/supreme-court-citizenship.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/22/us/politics/supreme-court... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/26/us/politics/supreme-court-naturalization.html?_r=0 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/26/us/politics/supreme-court... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslenjak_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslenjak_v._United_States

  She's protected because of her role at NASA. Too high-profile.
