She was born in the US when her parents were assigned here as diplomats from (I believe, Yemen).
My mistake! I misunderstood it when the article stated that she was born in the US after her father's diplomatic post had expired. Thanks for pointing that out.

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
