‘Criminalization to be stateless’: Newlyweds organized by ice for 140 days say that basic rights were denied; Officers protect detention

A newly married bride from Texas, released on Thursday from immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) custody, stated that she was treated as a “cattle” during her time.A 22 -year -old stateless Palestinian woman married an American citizen, ward Saikic spoke publicly for the first time after being detained at Miami Airport in February. She was held in snow custody for 140 days after returning from her honeymoon.During a press conference held at Dallas-Fort Worth, after returning from the US Virgin Islands with her husband Tahir Sheikh, Saikik said, “I was put into a gray tracksuit and immediately in a hut.”“I was handcuffed for 16 hours without water or food in the bus. I was taken around like cattle,” Saykek said.However, the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Trissia McLaglin told Newsportal Newsweek, “In any claim that ice detention centers lack food or subprime conditions, are false.”“All prisoners are provided with appropriate food, medical treatment, and there are opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Our custody is a highest priority on ice to ensure safety, safety and welfare of individuals. Food is certified by dietists,” she said.US President Donald Trump has vowed to complete the largest mass exile campaign in American history. In the early months of his second term, his administration has already deported more than 100,000 people. The White House has said that any person living in the country without legal status is considered a “criminal”.Meanwhile, the deaths in ice detention centers are on track to exceed last year’s number, 12 people have confirmed the detention since October 2024. The advocacy groups have blamed the growing toll on what the “increased and aggressive” detention policies of the Trump administration.The Ice tried to delete ward Saikic in the early hours of June 30, despite the order of a federal court, a day before the removal of it, stopped it from removing it.According to his legal team, Sakeik was awakened by the guard at around 5 pm local time on Monday and it was said that he should immediately get ready to leave the facility. It marked the second time that the Ice had tried to deport it in violation of court orders.The first attempt was on 12 June, when ICE officials took him to Termac at Fort Worth Alliance Airport, informing him that he was being deported for “Israel’s limit”. It was despite the government being aware of the fact that Sakeik is a stateless and has no legal route for citizenship in Israel or West Bank.“These exile, they just got suddenly, I was not given a phone call,” Saikic said at the press conference.She explained that when she eventually managed to contact her husband, “I was not given a phone call with snow.”He said, “I just had to wait and have a long time to take, just to pack my belongings to buy the phone system to call Tahir to call Tahir,” he said.Sakeik also shared that “there were many days where it would be 36 hours, 50 hours, where I was not allowed to call my lawyer or my husband.”Around his wedding time in January, he applied for a green card and successfully passed the initial stage of the process. Due to her immigration situation, the couple chose a honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands to avoid international travel.Sakeik was detained on return, underlining his complex immigration background despite his pending green card applications and documents.She was born in Saudi Arabia, but does not hold citizenship there, and came to the United States with her family at the age of 8.“I have been a resident of the United States law from the age of 8. I went to college. I run a successful wedding photography business here. [Dallas-Fort Worth]”Sakeik said.He said, “My family came here in 2011 to ask for refuge, and we have followed all immigration policies and complied with everything, every document, every document, every piece of paper, everything of paper, everything that was thrown at us,” he said.However, McLaglin said, “Ward Saikic ‘was not complying with immigration policies.” The fact is that it is illegally in our country. ,After rejecting the family’s shelter request, he was not deported due to his stateless status. Instead, they were placed under an order of supervision, for which they needed to report the immigration officers once a year.“Our custody is a top priority on ice to ensure safety, safety and welfare of individuals. McLaglin said why the media has continued to fall for the SOB stories of illegal aliens. He said that Sakeik has ordered the final expulsion for more than a decade to “finish his visa”, stating that President Trump and Secretary Christiest NoM are committed to correcting the abuse of the visa system.At a press conference, Ward Saikik said, “The humanity taught me in school is not humanity that I have seen. It was away from me.”He said, “I lost five months of my life because I was criminalized to be a stateless, which I have no control. I did not choose the option to be a stateless,” he said.
