ICE Detains Woman at Denver Airport; More Detainees

26 sourcesUpdated Jul 24, 2026

A video at Denver International Airport shows plainclothes ICE agents detaining Chantal Alejandra Morales Rojas, an Ecuadorian national who overstayed her visa, as she attempted to board a Southwest flight; ICE says she remains in custody for removal proceedings. Separately, DHS confirms a Ukrainian woman, Iryna Gorb, was arrested by ICE at San Francisco International Airport after overstaying a visa, and will face removal proceedings, with video capturing agents detaining her. Another set of footage shows Morales Rojas at DEN provoking social-media backlash against Southwest and questions about airport transparency. In addition, ICE detained a Southwest Airlines flight attendant in an unspecified location; the airline union says they support the member and are seeking details. DHS and ICE reiterate that visa overstays can lead to arrests at airports, and that plainclothes enforcement is common; airports involve multiple federal agencies and may not notify airports of such actions. The incidents have intensified scrutiny of immigration enforcement at travel hubs and related coordination between TSA, DHS, and airlines.

Ryanair CEO warns planes leave without late passengers

Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary has warned that flights will leave without passengers who are late or not at the boarding gate, blaming the EU’s new border and Entry/Exit System for long passport-control queues. He says travelers must arrive early, and that hundreds have incurred out-of-pocket costs for replacements while neither the airline nor insurers cover these expenses as flights aren’t being delayed for those stuck in queues.
