Payback time.

The U.S. government was forced to admit its mistake in deporting Rosebell Munyua when she arrived from Kenya in 2001 as a political exile. She was allowed to enter the country six months later and granted political asylum in 2002. Now, in an extremely rare settlement, the U.S. has agreed to pay her $87,500 for its mistake. The recently passed Real ID Act, though, gives immigration officials at airports even more authority to send asylum seekers back without going before a judge.
