A 10-year-old child at the center of an international custody dispute has been returned to the United States from Cuba.
Officials say the Trump administration sent a government plane to bring the child back after authorities alleged the child was taken out of the country without permission.
The child’s parent, Rose Inessa-Ethington, who is transgender woman, is accused of traveling to Cuba with the child without the consent of the biological mother.
Federal and state authorities raised concerns after a family member reported fears the trip was related to plans for gender-affirming medical care.
Rose Inessa-Ethington and a partner have been arrested and charged with international parental kidnapping.
The child has been returned to the biological mother.
