 Egyptian family of six rearrested after ICE release, lawyer warns of fast-track deportation despite court-ordered pause and ongoing asylum case An Egyptian family of six who had recently been released from immigration custody was rearrested Saturday, with their attorney warning they could face rapid deportation despite a court order temporarily pausing their removal. The family—Hayam El Gamal and her five children—had spent roughly ten months in the Dilley detention center outside San Antonio, Texas, where conditions have drawn criticism over access to food and medical care. A federal magistrate judge had ruled earlier this week that the family should be released while their asylum case proceeds after they entered the United States in 2022 on a tourist visa.

 NBA commissioner Adam Silver 'deeply disturbed' by illegal gambling arrests

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver expressed deep concern Friday over recent federal indictments tied to illegal gambling involving an NBA player and coach. The cases, unsealed Thursday, include schemes related to NBA games, online sports betting, and rigged poker games. Among those arrested were Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier.

Speaking during halftime of the Celtics-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Silver emphasized the league’s commitment to preserving the integrity of competition. He said unusual betting activity surrounding a 2023 game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets initially triggered the NBA’s investigation, which found insufficient evidence at the time. Since then, the FBI has taken over, and the league has cooperated fully. The DOJ indictments allege that Rozier and others used confidential information to place bets, with Rozier tipping off a friend about his early exit from a game, enabling bets totaling more than $200,000. Billups is described as a “Face Card” meant to attract gamblers. Both he and Rozier have been placed on indefinite leave, and the Trail Blazers named Tiago Splitter as interim coach. The U.S. House Committee on Commerce requested a briefing from Silver by Friday, citing concerns about sports betting and NBA integrity. Past gambling scandals, including those involving Tim Donaghy and Jontay Porter, were also referenced, underscoring the ongoing sensitivity of the issue.
