Mom and Kids Released from Detention

0:00A federal judge in Texas just ordered the immediate release of a mom named Ham El Gamal and her five kids from an immigration detention center in. Dilly, they've been locked up there for the past 10 months. Judge Fred Byrie signed off on it Thursday, but El Gamal and her oldest child got to wear ankle monitors as part of the deal. The government's request to pause the ruling for an appeal got shot down flat. This family got swept up after the dad's arrest last June in Boulder, Colorado. Mohamed Sola Man faces over 100 charges, including attempted murder for allegedly chucking Molotov cocktails at protesters and injuring dozens. Attorneys for the family are over the moon about the win. One lawyer said he walked out of court and tears, pumped that they can finally head home. Another noted he's been trying to connect with immigration officials at the center, but they haven't even picked up the phone yet, despite the clear order. The kids rained from five to 18 years old, and the whole crew landed in detention right

1:01after the dad's incident. Sola Man came in on a tourist visa back in August 2022 that lapsed the next February, then got temporary word papers that expired soon. After, word is, letters from the family's surface last month, painting a rough picture of abuse and spotty care inside. Now it's just a matter of immigration agents making the handoff happen, so this ordeal can wrap up for good. That's your Dallas News Today update, AI powered and always on.
