Lundy Khoy pleaded to Trump for leniency in 2016. An old Virginia law and a sympathetic prosecutor helped end her ordeal.
But a teenage mistake thrust her into the crosshairs of federal laws passed amid an immigration crackdown, leading her to spend half her life looking over her shoulder, striving to prove her worth in the only country she’d ever known.
Khoy’s lawyers ultimately relied on an ancient writ in Virginia law and a sympathetic prosecutor’s office, providing a path for her in a system that immigration reform advocates say is broken. Her lawyer advised her to plead guilty to possession with intent to distribute. When she asked him if it would affect her immigration status — explaining she was a green-card holder hoping to apply for citizenship — he replied that there was no correlation between the two.
