“These allegations by Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal are FALSE. ICE takes its commitment to promoting safe, secure, humane environments for those in our custody very seriously. ICE is regularly audited and inspected by external agencies to ensure that all ICE facilities comply with performance-based national detention standards.

“DHS is investigating to what extent Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal and her children knew about her husband’s heinous terrorist attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it.”
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
