    So why did she need a Green card then?

    She is Peruvian, not Puerto Rican, so she does need a Green card and that has nothing to do with Puerto Rico itself. My bad.

      Because she’s Peruvian. She got arrested while returning to the US mainland from a US territory, which they might have thought wouldn’t have them encountering ICE agents.

        Ah, I am so dense. I did read she is Peruvian but then the Puerto Rico info overrode that bit in my brain. Thanks for pointing that out.
