ICE agents detained the Southwest Airlines employee while the individual was working at the Nashville International Airport. Authorities state the arrest was made because the flight attendant has allegedly overstayed a visa since 2021.

Coverage from KERA News, WFAA, CBS News, Dallas News, and Fox News emphasizes the location of the arrest and the status of the individual's documentation. Reports note that a friend of the flight attendant has stated there is a pending asylum case, while the union has confirmed the detention occurred during working hours.
