DHS förnekar att Natasha Lyonne frihetsberövats efter flygplansavhysning

Natasha Lyonne hävdar att hon frihetsberövades av ICE efter att ha blivit avvisad från ett flyg, men det amerikanska inrikessäkerhetsdepartementet (DHS) tillbakavisar uppgifterna. En talesperson uppgav för TMZ på fredagen att varken ICE eller TSA hade något med händelsen att göra. Lyonne skyller själv incidenten på en sömntablett.

Scenariot utspelade sig under en nattflygning från LAX till NYC i tisdags. Natasha Lyonne, som uppges ha verkat okoncentrerad, ignorerade flygvärdinnornas uppmaningar om att packa undan sin laptop, varpå personalen eskorterade henne av planet. Efter händelsen skrev hon på X att hon tagit en Lunesta för att kunna sova, och påstod därefter att ICE gripit in för ett samtal efter flygningen.
