A Russian woman with permanent U.S. residency who managed to sneak onto a flight from New York to Paris recently made her first court appearance in Brooklyn. The woman, Svetlana Dali, claimed that she had been abused and poisoned after arriving in Paris, leading to her return to the United States despite requesting asylum.
During her court appearance, Dali's attorney stated that she believed her treatment at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn amounted to torture. She claimed to have been placed in a cold room where she felt sick and eventually lost consciousness. Dali expressed concerns for her safety while being held at the detention center.
