Federal authorities detained a Delta Airlines copilot at the San Francisco International Airport over the weekend, according to California authorities.

The copilot with Delta Flight 2809, inbound from Minneapolis, had barely touched down in California when at least 10 federal agents, including several from the Department of Homeland Security, “barged through and stormed the cockpit,” a passenger told ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO.
