thebalanced.newsWoman and Five Children Released After Longest Family ICE Detention Under Trump
Hayam El Gamal and her five children were released after over 10 months in immigration detention in Texas, ordered by U.S. District Judge Fred Biery. The family was detained following a firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, linked to El Gamal's ex-husband, Mohamed Soliman, who was charged in the case. El Gamal and her eldest child must wear ankle monitors. The family's legal team alleges health deterioration and inadequate medical care during detention, while the Department of Homeland Security disputes these claims and criticized the release order.
