NEW YORK– Cherriebelle Hibbard, a Filipina, has been married to her husband Craig for the past three years. A hard working woman and a loving wife, she received her green card shortly after their marriage. However, after a big domestic dispute, Cherriebelle decided to give up her permanent residency, separate herself from her husband, and return to the Philippines. She lost her legal status. But soon, after much effort, her husband managed to patch things up with her and now she is in the process of acquiring her new green card. 

All seemed to be well with the Hibbards until a U.S. Marshal named Greg Denny barged into the Hibbard household on January 15 and arrested the five-month pregnant Cherriebelle, took her to Lindbergh Field, and sent her home with a ticket to the Philippines that he ordered Craig to purchase. Now she’s out of the United States.

For the helpless Cherriebelle, it all looked like a routine deportation proceeding because after all, she knows she doesn’t have legal status after giving up her green card. However, she failed to recognize one crucial problem: Greg Denny is not a real U.S. Marshal.
