The pregnant Ghanaian woman and her son were detained at Dulles Airport for more than a week.
Lawyers stated the pair arrived on valid U.S. visas at the time of their detention.
A federal judge ordered the two released from detention and cleared their return to Ghana.
The child is approximately 4 years old, described as disabled, and had a scheduled appointment at Akron Children's Hospital.
The detention reportedly occurred in a windowless room at the airport.
Immigration authorities issued a deportation order despite the lawyers' claims of valid documentation.
