Anabella Gyasi and her 4-year-old son touched down at Washington Dulles International Airport more than a week ago on tourist visas. They are still there, her attorneys say, confined to “a windowless room with a single bed and toilet.”

A federal judge is set to hear arguments Friday on the future of the pregnant woman, who came to the United States from Ghana for a medical appointment for her child but also acknowledged to authorities she planned to seek asylum, according to court documents.

Her attorneys allege she is being held illegally.

“Ms. Gyasi secured the necessary visas for her son’s medical appointment, and by detaining them in dangerous conditions anyway, (Customs and Border Protection) is breaking the law and putting the Trump administration’s cruel anti-immigrant agenda before basic human dignity and the Constitution,” said attorney Dorna Maryam Movasseghi of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, which filed Gyasi’s court petition for release.

1. This situation brings up another question

Are there pregnant women in the ICE prisons, and are they being forced to give birth there? Any pre-natal or post-natal care?

2. No black people are to be allowed in the US now.

Only white supremacists from South Africa need apply for asylum or white multimillionaires who are willing to give Trump $5 million for the privilege of moving to a country with daily mass murders, poor medical care, and unbelievable government corruption. I think there are few takers, especially since white Europeans would not give up their countries to move to one going backwards.

3. Sadly enough,

All the progress America made over many decades is now being undone by one selfish, myopic crackpot.

Just damn sad.
