The Department of Justice earlier confirmed that Garma and her daughter were detained in San Francisco, California. They reportedly left the Philippines for Washington, D.C., on November 7.

Remulla was asked how Garma and her daughter were able to fly out of the Philippines despite their canceled visas. He explained that local aviation officers have no way of knowing if a US visa is canceled because they do not have a computer system linked to the US.

“We do not know if it is canceled; you will only find out upon entry to another country,” he added.
