Chile

I just found this article about how the eldest daughter of tried to enter the United States through Dulles Airport (my home airport!) and was denied entry due to charges of tax evasion and using a false passport in Chile.

"Chile's interior minister, Francisco Vidal, said he believed her claim would be rejected because "asylum was for cases where there was no state of law". "

"She was taken into custody on Wednesday after being denied entry at Washington Dulles airport because of the warrant for her arrest.
Chilean and US officials said she was being transferred to an immigration service detention centre while her position was assessed. "

The story is quite interesting and worth checking out!
