The Department of Homeland Security identified the woman as Kristina Kedysheva of Russia. The agency said she was deported Sept. 29.
“Under President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Markwayne] Mullin, if you break the law, you will face the consequences,” a DHS spokesperson wrote in a statement.
Kedysheva was initially taken into custody by the FBI and charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants and application of certain criminal laws to acts on aircraft.
