The Eurowings Airbus A320-200, registered D-AEWS, was cruising at Flight Level 360 about 20 nautical miles east of Sarajevo when air traffic control cleared the aircraft to climb to FL380.

Pregnant Woman, Child Held at Dulles Airport for Over a Week Amid Deportation Disputes🤰

The case has drawn national attention after civil rights attorneys alleged that the pair were confined in a windowless detention area despite medical concerns involving both the mother and child.

US authorities, however, have rejected allegations of mistreatment and maintain that appropriate care was provided throughout their detention.

According to legal filings submitted by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 38-year-old Annabella Gyasi arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport from Ghana last week with her son.

The child was reportedly scheduled to travel onward to Ohio for a medical evaluation at Akron Children’s Hospital.

The boy was expected to undergo an assessment to determine whether he was now eligible for surgery related to a congenital hand condition. Instead of continuing their journey, immigration authorities detained both travelers upon arrival.
