Not sure what the rules are for Illinois but if you have a record of felonies in a lot of places it is hard to get that right in the first place. Second of all any good lawyer would have looked into him before he was seated, most of that would have come out.

As I said in the very next post, I think the worst conviction he has is a "drunk & disorderly," AFAIK just a misdemeanor. However, given Whamp involvement in the Jury Duty short, it's unclear how much the Illinois process would actually have been properly followed...
But AFAIK, the topic at hand isn't "Harry's generic legal credibility," but whether someone could "tactically deploy" DCFS (or other gov't agencies) against Harry/Maggie (alleging abuse, illegal entry, etc)...

I'm pretty sure Marcone and Lara could, yes. Probably others.
I am not sure they could without triggering Harry's style of roaring rampage of revenge, and as the act would be against Harry's daughter too I am pretty sure Mab would owe him support. I would not want to stand in the path of a Mab-supported rampage by Harry "oh wait was that the whole Red Court?" Dresden.

However Harry is living on embassy land, which means he and little Maggie are not in the jurisdiction of any law enforcement.

Since when are the svartalves recognised as a nation by the US? Is there any treaty between the svartalves and the US or any other member of the UN?

I somehow doubt that the United States of America has received and accepted an Ambassador Plenipotentiary from the nation of the Svartalves. As such while the Svartalve building may be recognized by the Unseille Accords I don’t think the US is a signatory to that pact. Mollie’s apartment protects against supernatural threats, not real world legal threats.
