Anabella Gyasi told the truth about why she was afraid, and it cost her a week in a locked room at Dulles.
The pregnant teacher came to the US on a valid visa to get her disabled son to a doctor. She said her own mother had told her to kill the boy. The government called that an asylum claim, voided her visa, and held them in a windowless room. Hospitalized twice and unable to feed her son, she signed her own deportation order to make it stop.
Anabella followed the rules that were more than forty years old. Donald Trump overrode them on day one of his second administration. Use 5 Calls or Resistbot to tell your representatives to write that protection back into law.
