My understanding, and I'm by no means an expert, is that they/them would be used for an unknown gender, or for someone that has chosen those as their preferred pronouns. But in this case, the article and discussion is about a woman, so I think she/her would be the preferred choice.

I dunno, still seems like misgendering someone, just with a different reason for doing so.
The article uses she/her pronouns, which seems a reasonable choice. Any particular reason you've gone with they/them?
I mean, it's what a spokesperson suggested. I think we maybe take that with a pinch of salt.
However, this appears to be the case simply because fewer people are currently attempting to enter the USA illegally.
Any source on that? Because I would have thought by definition there's no easy way to track people illegally crossing the border (assuming that's the method of illegal immigration we're talking about). But the fact that Biden was deporting more (based on one month, granted) suggests he was at least more effective at addressing those that were found to have done so.
If I had to hazard a guess, I reckon they'll have done more than one story on this.
Checkmate liberals.
Probably somewhere near the canary islands.
Same, but it does mean 'around' or 'approximately', so would still work in this context.
Absolutely, and I think jumping on people for making honest mistakes doesn't help anyone, as with most things it's the intention that's key. In this particular case though, I don't think there was too much ambiguity, and she/her seems to me like the safer bet.
