Rule following has not been a safeguard against recent border and immigration actions. (Plus, the rules themselves are being changed arbitrarily, without notice, and illegally.)

Just because it doesn't reduce the chances of harm to zero does not mean it's useless. She was less likely to be detained had she left the country as soon as her visa was revoked. Not really up for debate.

And we're back to the "I can cross the street here without looking both ways because I have the right of way by law!!!" argument. I don't know if you experienced the last few US presidential/administration changes, but things that are "illegal" and yet "allowed anyway without consequences" are becoming a hot topic!
