Silvia Labayru, a 69-year-old former member of the Montoneros guerrilla group, was removed from a flight to San Antonio, Texas.

Labayru's story, detailed in the best-selling book 'La Llamada,' recounts her traumatic experiences during Argentina's military dictatorship, including torture and abuse.
