An Egyptian family of six has been taken back into Immigrationtained agaiand Customs Enforcement custody, days after they were released from a detention facility in Texas on Thursday, according to their attorney Eric Lee
Lee said Saturday morning that Hayam El Gamal and her five children were on a private jet in Denver bound for Egypt because of a court order violation.
“This is a very live situation – an absolutely brazen violation of separation of powers,” Lee said.
On Saturday, the family’s attorneys filed an emergency motion to block the deportation. The US district judge Fred Biery of the western district of Texas, who had ordered the family’s release earlier in the week, granted the motion.
