 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.

Former Harvard morgue manager sentenced to 8 years for selling body parts

Prosecutors said Cedric Lodge took organs, brains, skin, and dissected heads from cadavers donated to Harvard between 2018 and March 2020 without the knowledge or consent of the donors, their families, or his employer. The couple transported the remains from the Boston morgue to their home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, before shipping them across state lines to buyers. Some of the remains reportedly sold for thousands of dollars, including payments labeled for specific body parts.

Harvard Medical School condemned Lodge’s actions as “abhorrent and inconsistent with the standards and values” expected by the institution and donor families. Postal inspectors also criticized the scheme, highlighting the danger of trafficking human remains through the mail and its impact on grieving families. Lodge’s defense acknowledged the severity of his crimes and the harm inflicted on both the deceased and their families. Several other individuals involved in related cases have pleaded guilty.
