Family longest held in US immigration detention re-arrested after release
"The Trump administration has kidnapped the El Gamal family in violation of a federal court order from the Western District of Texas, which ordered them Thursday not to detain or remove the family from the United States."
"Lee said shortly after that US District Judge Fred Biery, who ordered the family's initial release on Thursday, had granted an emergency order on Saturday barring their removal."
"The attempt to remove the El Gamal family is in violation of a federal court order and must be halted immediately, it adds."
"The Trump administration has at times flouted court orders barring it from deporting people from the US, pushing a hardline approach that critics say has defied legal constraints."
Hayam El Gamal and her five children were released from a 10-month immigration detention following a federal court order. Shortly after returning home to Colorado, immigration authorities detained them again, seeking to deport them. This action violated a court order from the Western District of Texas, which prohibited their removal. An emergency order was granted by US District Judge Fred Biery to prevent their deportation. The Trump administration has faced criticism for disregarding court orders in its immigration enforcement efforts.
