Rasmea Odeh, a 67-year-old Chicago woman and Palestinian activist, was convicted of unlawful procurement of naturalization in November and sentenced to 18 months in prison last week.

U.S. attorneys, who recommended a sentence of at least five years, are also seeking to have Odeh deported upon completion of her sentence.

Odeh is accused of lying on immigration paperwork when she came to the U.S. in 1995 to live with her then-ailing father in a Detroit suburb.
