A pregnant woman from Ghana who entered the U.S. on a valid visa with her four-year-old son so he could receive medical care has been held for more than a week in a windowless detention room at a Washington airport, her lawyers said in court documents.
Annabella Gyasi arrived last Tuesday at Washington Dulles International Airport ahead of an appointment she had arranged for her son, who was born with malformed hands, at Akron Children’s Hospital in Ohio, according to an emergency petition filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia.
