Episode Details

A Russian woman detained in Louisiana after being arrested at Buffalo Niagara Airport says she was handcuffed and chained—causing her daughter pain—despite having a pending asylum case based on speaking out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Her immigration attorney reveals ICE detained her under a Trump-era policy that allows detention even with valid asylum claims, despite her visa expiring. Now, her health is deteriorating, and her family pleads for release on bond ahead of her removal hearing, while her lawyer warns others to avoid travel—even domestically—to prevent similar detentions.
