Are you sure she is in the US legally? It sounds like she may have been thinking her EAD document expiry date constitutes a legal right to stay in the country (confusing expiry dates and documents is pretty common in the byzantine US immigration system).

Especially on a spousal visa, so may not have the immigration attorneys constantly providing advice like an immigrant worker.

Even if true why are these people along with their children herded violently into prisons where they can be held for days/weeks/months with no recourse? Is accidentally staying too long such a terrible crime that prison and harsh sub-human treatment is the punishment? It is fucking embarrassing for the USA to be doing this.
