Trump administration flies 10-year-old back from Cuba amid custody fight involving gender identity
Federal agents returned the child after Cuban authorities found the pair, and prosecutors say the adults face international parental kidnapping charges.
- On Monday, Rose Inessa-Ethington and her partner, Blue Inessa-Ethington, were arraigned in Richmond, Virginia, on federal international parental kidnapping charges after allegedly taking a 10-year-old child to Cuba.
- The couple allegedly deceived the child's biological mother by claiming a five-day camping trip to Canada on March 28, then flew to Cuba instead and ceased all communication with her.
- FBI agents discovered notes regarding "gender affirming medical care for children" and a $10,000 withdrawal at the couple's home in Washington, D.C., fueling family concerns the child was transported for surgery.
- Cuban authorities located the group on April 16, leading to the child's safe recovery and reunification with the biological mother, who was granted exclusive custody by a Utah State Court on April 13.
- The FBI's use of a government plane underscores aggressive federal intervention in custody disputes, as experts called the mission "bizarre, highly unusual" amid administration restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors.
