 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. Following Saturday’s rearrest, their attorney said they were placed on a flight to Michigan and could then be transferred for deportation to Egypt. He argued in a court filing and public statement that the move violated judici...

 ‎Anambra enforces environmental laws, offenders to face hefty penalties, including fines or three months imprisonment , sealing of properties, as well as suspension of business permits

‎

‎

‎Fear is spreading across Anambra as the state government has commenced a crackdown on environmental infractions.

‎

‎These include a zero-tolerance policy on illegal dumping, a ban on single-use plastics, and an order to shut down car wash operators without a proper drainage system.

‎

‎The fear stems from stated hefty penalties, including fines or three months imprisonment for offenders, sealing of properties, as well as suspension of business permits, using the Anambra State Environmental Management Protection and Administration Law 2024.

‎

‎The Commissioner for Environment, Felix Odimegwu, said on Monday that the enforcement follows a year-long sensitisation campaign, public education drive and extensive stakeholder engagement across the state.

‎

‎Odimegwu described the law as a decisive response to the worsening environmental challenges confronting Anambra, particularly erosion, flooding, and indiscriminate waste disposal.

‎

‎The Commissioner jointly addressed journalists alongside the Managing Director of the Anambra State Waste Management Authority, Mike Ozoemena and the Managing Director, Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra, Celestine Anere, and they stated their readiness to descend on environmental law-breakers.

‎

‎Odimegwu said, “To drive the enforcement, the state government has inaugurated a multi-agency task force comprising operatives from the Ministry of Environment’s Enforcement Unit, Environmental Health Officers, ASWAMA, the OCHA Brigade, the Erosion, Watershed and Climate Change Agency, and Forest Guards.

‎

‎“The team is empowered to seal premises, issue violation notices, arrest offenders, and suspend business permits. The enforcement of the state Environmental Protection and Administration Law, 2024, will take effect from Monday, November 24, 2025, following extensive sensitisation, public education, and stakeholder consultations across the state over the past year. The state will now apply the provisions of this law fully, firmly, and without exception.

‎

‎“The aim is to achieve aesthetics and urban beautification enforcement, and the Ministry has the legal mandate to enforce the beautification and maintenance of visible building facades, especially in urban centres such as Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, and Ekwulobia.

‎

‎“All hotels, estates, markets, fuel stations, abattoirs, institutions, and facilities serving more than 50 persons must obtain wastewater clearance and connect to sewage systems.

‎

‎“The state will no longer tolerate any form of irresponsible excavation, soil removal, or sand mining—especially near erosion-prone areas, gully sites, wetlands, watersheds, or natural drainage channels."
