Natasha Lyonne Says She Was Detained by ICE After Being Escorted Off Plane
Lyonne claims ICE detained her after a redeye flight; DHS denies the detainment; she voices support for TSA workers and continues with her schedule.
Natasha Lyonne says she was detained by ICE after she was escorted off a redeye flight, shedding light on a note that sparked widespread discussion. In a response to a post from E! News on X, she explained that she had taken Lunesta to get some sleep so she could be alert for an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. She added, 'Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess.' She thanked supporters and expressed sympathy for unpaid TSA workers, noting she had no prior issues with Delta or TSA. The plane reportedly taxied for takeoff but returned to the gate, where staff helped Lyonne deplane.
