AP for previous illegal

I am assuming your query is "Has anyone who has been previously illegally present in the US used an AP?"
If that is the Q, I hope it is clearer now, and anyone who has done that might respond.
My 2 cents is, if you have a valid AP you should be fine. However, my better judgement would advise against travelling, if you can avoid it. Given the current climate, BCIS might take the position that since you had been illegally present, the AP was erroneously issued... blah...blah. Or you might still turn up as illegally present is some stupid un-updated database at port of entry. So travel is VERY AVOIDABLE. If you must travel, I suggest you talk to a good immigration attorney, and carry plenty of documentation, including multiple copies of a letter from your attorney explaining the situation, with you.

From what I've heard, BCIS contracted prisons aren't very comfy. I was reading in that special registration mess the few people who did get imprisoned for a few days, they gave them toilet paper (for obvious reason), but no blankets, so the folks had a choice between use TP as blanket, or TP as TP.
Well .. they used as a blanket.
