Miami-Dade police advised Hernandez-Garnier to clean up the blood and change the dressing on his wound, but he told them he did not have a fresh dressing. The flight crew, concerned about health risks and possible contamination from bodily fluids, asked the couple to deplane. Despite the request, Hernandez-Garnier and Loyola refused to comply, reportedly stating that if they could not fly, no one else should either.
Eviction and social media dissemination
As the situation escalated, police were called to the scene. Officers forcibly removed both Hernandez-Garnier and Loyola from the plane in handcuffs after they continued to refuse to leave the aircraft. Loyola broadcast the incident on TikTok, explaining in Spanish that her husband had recently undergone surgery, which is why there was blood. This situation caused the entire flight to be delayed overnight.
