Ghanaian mother and child detained at airport for days after arriving on valid visas, lawyers say

A legal standoff over immigration policy and medical access is unfolding at Washington Dulles International Airport, where a 38-year-old pregnant Ghanaian woman and her 4-year-old son have been held in a windowless detention cell for more than a week, according to court filings from her legal team. The case has sparked sharp debate between civil rights advocates and federal authorities over the treatment of migrant asylum seekers entering the United States with valid travel documentation.
