- Pregnant asylum seeker who was detained at Dulles will return to Ghana
Pregnant Ghanaian asylum seeker Anabella Gyasi and her son were detained at Dulles International Airport for 10 days before a U.S. federal judge ordered their return to Ghana. Gyasi sought asylum after arriving in the U.S. on a tourist visa to secure medical care for her son, who has disabilities, but her asylum request triggered detention under policies linked to an executive order targeting birthright citizenship.
