    The international legal definition of a stateless person is “a person who is not considered as a national by any State under the operation of its law”. In simple terms, this means that a stateless person does not have the nationality of any country. Some people are born stateless, but others become stateless.

    Yes, the experience she has right now, being a US citizen in Brazil, means that her current experience is surely quite similar to what it would be if she were stateless. And the path forward is definitely full of obstacles.

    But she is not stateless. She is a US citizen with a US passport. Her situation is caused by her government illegally sending her to another country.
