Texas judge frees detained immigrant family after 10-month hold
TL;DR
A federal judge in Texas ordered the release of Hayam El Gamal and her five children from immigration detention in Dilley after more than 10 months—longer than any other family detained there during the Trump-era mass deportation era—though the oldest child will wear an ankle monitor. The ruling ends a drawn-out effort that DHS had resisted, amid medical concerns raised for El Gamal and ongoing removal proceedings tied to her ex-husband’s Boulder attack.
