Ghanaian Mother and Child Detained at U.S. Airport Despite Valid Visas
A pregnant woman from Ghana, Annabella Gyasi, and her four-year-old son have been detained at Washington Dulles International Airport for over a week despite holding valid visas. Gyasi traveled to the U.S. for her son's medical treatment at Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio. Upon arrival, she expressed fear of returning to Ghana due to persecution, leading to their detention by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia filed an emergency petition, highlighting the inhumane conditions of their detention, including inadequate food and medical care. Gyasi has been hospitalized twice for pregnancy complications during her detention.
