Egyptian family of six re-detained by ICE days after release
- The El Gamal family, including Hayam El Gamal and her five children, were re-detained by ICE just days after their release from a Texas facility.
- Their attorney claims the re-detention violates separation of powers and is linked to a court order issue.
- The family had been held for 10 months at the Dilley detention center, which has faced criticism for its treatment of detainees.
