US EditionNorth Texas Newlywed Released From ICE Detention After Months in Custody, Attorney Says
- Ward Sakeik, a 22-year-old stateless Palestinian woman, was released Tuesday night after nearly five months held at an ICE facility located in Alvarado, Texas.
- She was initially detained in February by immigration officials upon returning from her honeymoon in the U.S. Virgin Islands due to overstaying her visa and lacking citizenship.
- ICE attempted to deport Sakeik twice in June, including a June 12 attempt to send her to the Israeli border despite a federal court order barring her removal.
- Her legal team called her release sudden, and attorney Eric Lee described the June deportation attempt as a “brazenly unconstitutional” act that violated her due process rights.
- Sakeik’s release reunited her with her husband in North Texas and highlights ongoing legal struggles for stateless immigrants amid harsh immigration policies.
