Substrate placeholder — needs reviewAn Egyptian family of six was taken back into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody days after their release from a detention facility in Texas on Thursday, The Guardian reported. The family, consisting of Hayam El Gamal and her five children, was on a private jet in Denver bound for Egypt when they were re-detained because of a court order violation, according to their attorney Eric Lee.
Lee said Saturday morning that the re-detention stemmed from the court order violation.
“This is a very live situation – an absolutely brazen violation of separation of powers,” Lee said. Hayam El Gamal and her five children had been held for 10 months at the Dilley detention center, a facility in a remote part of Texas near San Antonio. El Gamal was arrested in June 2025 in connection to her husband, Mohamed Sabry Soliman.
Federal authorities say Soliman threw molotov cocktails into a crowd that had convened to bring awareness to hostages in Gaza. Soliman is facing charges of a federal hate crime. The El Gamal family’s case has drawn national attention.
