ICE re-detains Egyptian family days after release, bound for Egypt

An Egyptian family of six—Hayam El Gamal and her five children—was taken back into ICE custody days after their release from the Dilley, Texas detention facility. They were reportedly aboard a private jet in Denver headed for Egypt due to a court-order violation, according to their attorney. The family had spent about 10 months detained at Dilley, the longest such period for a family during Donald Trump’s second term, and their case has drawn national attention. El Gamal’s husband, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was arrested in June 2025 in connection with Molotov cocktails used at a Gaza-hostage demonstration and faces federal hate-crime charges.
