Family of six held by ICE arrives back in Colorado as lawyer attacks ‘kidnapping’

El Gamal family was released from detention and then re-arrested as US officials appeared to overstep judge’s order

An Egyptian mother and her children, previously jailed by immigration authorities, arrived back in their home in Colorado on Wednesday, after a days-long ordeal during which the Trump administration likely attempted to violate a federal judge’s order.

Their attorney, Eric Lee, claimed the US government’s actions against the El Gamal family constituted “kidnapping” after immigration officials re-arrested the family last week.
