"A federal court has determined [US Immigration and Customs Enforcement]'s prolonged detention of this family violates the Constitution. Nevertheless, ICE has not yet released the family. No more delays, no more obfuscations: release the El Gamal family immediately."
"The family has reportedly been detained longer than any other immigrant family under the Trump administration. Under court-mandated restrictions, the federal government is not permitted to detain children longer than 20 days."
"El Gamal entered divorce proceedings with her husband after his arrest and is legally separated from him. She has maintained that she and her children knew nothing about his plans to attack the protesters."
"The White House's official account on the social media platform X threatened the family with deportation after they were detained. 'Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon.'"
A lawyer demanded the release of the El Gamal family from an immigration detention center in Texas after a federal judge found their prolonged detention unconstitutional. The family has been held for nearly a year, longer than any other immigrant family under the Trump administration. Court restrictions state that children cannot be detained for more than 20 days. Hayam El Gamal, separated from her husband, insists she and her children were unaware of his criminal activities, yet they face threats of deportation from the White House.
