The woman, who got past multiple security checkpoints at New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy International Airport and boarded a plane to Paris, will be traveling on a flight setting off from France at 2.30 p.m. local time (8.30 a.m. ET), the official said. <\/p>\n

She was scheduled to be on a flight to the US on Saturday afternoon but French authorities removed her from the aircraft after she started screaming, according to the official. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe kept on saying \u2018I do not want to go back to the USA. Only a judge can make me go back to the USA,\u2019\u201d Gary Treichler said. <\/p>\n

The woman will be accompanied by six US marshals on Tuesday\u2019s flight back to New York, authorities said. <\/p>\n

Authorities in the US are continuing to investigate how the woman sneaked onto the initial Delta flight without a ticket. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe TSA will open civil cases against passengers when there\u2019s evidence that procedures may have been violated,\u201d Lopez said. The TSA cannot bring criminal charges, though it can refer them to the Justice Department. <\/p>\n

Delta has not said how the woman was able to board the plane once she made it past the TSA checkpoint. <\/p>\n

The airline said it \u201cis conducting an exhaustive investigation of what may have occurred,\u201d but declined further comment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
