Grandfather Detained Twice Despite Court Order
Description
A 77-year-old Palestinian-American grandfather, detained by ICE despite living in the U.S. for five decades, suffered a heart attack in custody — prompting a judge to order his release over constitutional violations. But just ten days later, ICE re-arrested him, attempting deportation the next morning. The judge responded with an even stronger order, demanding immediate release and warning ICE against further action while the case is pending. His lawyer condemned ICE for misleading Omar’s family and rushing deportation, calling the agency’s actions cruel and heartless toward a sick, elderly man. ICE insists it follows all court orders, but advocates say such defiance is becoming routine — especially against individuals from certain regions. Omar, a lawful permanent resident since 1975, remains traumatized as his health battles bureaucratic cruelty.
