Hayam El Gamal and her five children, aged 5 to 18, were released from over 10 months of detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), marking the longest family detention during Donald Trump's presidency. Their detention began after a fire-bomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, linked to El Gamal's ex-husband, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who was charged in the incident. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery of the Western District of Texas ordered their release, stating the family's detention was unlawful. The family’s lawyer, Eric Lee, reported that El Gamal experienced severe health issues during detention, including fluid around her heart, while all five children showed signs of depression. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security criticized the ruling, claiming the judge was an activist releasing a 'terrorist's family' onto the streets. Rights groups have raised concerns about conditions in ICE facilities, citing numerous complaints of inhumane treatment and medical neglect.
