“On top of being humiliated and traumatized by airport staff, Elizabeth has suffered months of being forced to stay in an expensive country, pay expensive lawyers and miss out on her university studies.” “We thought it would be a more modern and futuristic city but we were completely wrong,” Los Santos said, according to Detained in Dubai.Elizabeth Polanco De Los Santos, 21, is reportedly a student at Lehman College in the Bronx, but she remains in Dubai.While passing through security, Dubai airport staff requested that Los Santos remove a waist compressor she was required to wear after a recent surgery.
When she returned to the airport later to catch her flight to New York, she was informed of the travel ban filed against her and forced to remain in the country until the charges against her were heard in court.
