On Thursday night, her family received word from U.S. officials that she had been stopped as she arrived in Amman , Jordan , en route to Tel Aviv, Israel , said her mother, Shawn Lester.
"A woman from the U.S. government called and said they had detained her in Amman," she told The Saginaw News. "I asked if she was all right, but all the woman knew was that she was detained."
