Ward Sakeik was preparing to step on a plane with her new husband Taahir Shaikh after honeymooning in the U.S. Virgin Islands when federal agents pulled her aside at the airport.
Sakeik, who is Palestinian but legally stateless despite living in the United States since she was eight years old, was then handcuffed on a plane on the way to Miami on February 11. She had married her husband Taahir Shaikh, a U.S. citizen, just 10 days earlier.
