The undocumented immigrant who worked as a maid at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey has petitioned for asylum over fears she will face persecution in her home country of Guatemala, her attorney said Tuesday.
Victorina Morales had her first asylum hearing Monday at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Lyndhurst, N.J., according to attorney Anibal Romero.
Morales initially applied for asylum protections in November, weeks before The New York Times published a story about how she used fake documents to get a job at Trump National, where she worked as a housekeeper making President Donald Trump's bed and doing his laundry.
Romero says his client's risk of being a victim of violence in her native Guatemala is even greater now that her story has received worldwide attention.

(21,847 posts)She said that a manager showed her how to get false documents, knowing she was undocumented. That may be enough. If I were representing her, I'd certainly try that avenue.

I wonder if Trump ever did that? My guess is no.
