In her first remarks since being released earlier this week from US immigration detention after spending over four months in custody, a 22-year-old Palestinian woman, who was married to a US citizen, said that she was denied basic rights and subjected to harsh treatment while in custody. Ward Sakeik (22), was born in Saudi Arabia but doesn't hold citizenship in any country. She has lived in the United States since the age of 8, but was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in February at the Miami International Airport after returning from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands with her husband, Taahir Shaikh, a US citizen.

‘Handcuffed, moved around like cattle': Bride recalls US detention horror
Ward Sakeik, a stateless Palestinian woman, was released from immigration detention after spending over four months in custody. Despite following rules and checking in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement since she was nine years old, her trip to the Virgin Islands led to detention by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Ward Sakeik, detained after honeymoon, released from ICE custody.(X/@brownchubbybear) 22-year-old Sakeik was freed on Thursday following her detainment on the way back from her honeymoon from the American islands at the Miami International Airport in February, reported The Guardian. After her release, she spoke about the harsh treatment she faced while in custody. 'I was handcuffed for 16 hours without any water or food on the bus,' she said. 'I was moved around like cattle. The US government tried to dump me in a part of the world where I had no idea where I was going, what I was doing," WSWS quoted Sakeik as saying. Married to Taahir Shaikh, a US citizen, Sakeik said she and her husband had deliberately picked the US Virgin Islands for their honeymoon to avoid any trouble with international travel since her green card application was still pending. But things didn't go as planned—immigration authorities still detained her on the way back. Also Read | Who are Taahir Shaikh and Ward Sakeik? Texas couple separated after ICE detains bride during honeymoon She recalled her emotions upon release at a press conference: 'I was overfilled with joy and a little shock. I mean, it was my first time seeing a tree in five months,' The Guardian quoted Ward Sakeik as saying. Soon after her release, she ran to her husband, exclaiming, 'I was like, oh my God, I can touch him without handcuffs and a glass. It was just freedom.' Why was Ward Sakeik arrested The Department of Homeland Security told the Guardian she 'chose to fly over international waters and outside the US customs zone and was then flagged by CBP trying to re-enter the continental US.' However, the US Virgin Islands are a US territory where no passport is needed. Who is Ward Sakeik Born in Saudi Arabia into a family from Gaza, Sakeik is stateless because Saudi Arabia does not grant birthright citizenship to children of foreigners. Her family first came to the United States on a tourist visa when she was eight and later applied for asylum, though their request was denied. They could remain in Texas if they maintained regular check-ins with immigration authorities. Over the years, Sakeik graduated from high school and college at the University of Texas, Arlington. She started a wedding photography business, married 28-year-old Taahir Shaikh, and began the process of obtaining a green card. Her life took a sudden turn ten days after her wedding when she was detained on her return from her honeymoon. Before her detainment, the US government had attempted to deport her twice. In the first instance, she was told she was being sent to the Israel border at the same time Israel was launching airstrikes on Iran. In the second, she was again informed she would be deported even though a judge had barred her removal from Texas.

End of the American dream: Over 50 Canadians in ICE custody amid rising fears and legal uncertainty
Biden-era enforcement machine now supercharged under President Donald Trump 's new immigration crackdown. Global Affairs Canada says it's aware of at least 55 Canadian citizens being held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ). But for the families of those detained, that number is more than a statistic. Frank Olvera and his wife, Cynthia Olivera, a Canadian-born woman who's lived in Los Angeles for decades, thought they were finally taking the right step, completing an interview for her US citizenship. Instead, Olivera was arrested on the spot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walmart Cameras Captured These Hilarious 20 Photos Undo 'They took my wife, put her in handcuffs, and swept her away,' Olvera told CBC. 'No due process.' The arrest was reportedly linked to a 1999 border incident, when Olivera tried to return to the US after attending her mother's funeral in Canada. Because she was pregnant at the time and planned to give birth in the US, she was initially refused entry. Live Events Today, she is being held at a detention facility in El Paso, Texas. Her husband says she has endured substandard conditions and repeated transfers. 'They're treated like animals,' he said. 'Sometimes they get hot food, sometimes they don't.' A Montreal entrepreneur trapped Paula Callejas , a 45-year-old Montreal resident, had been working to finalize a US work visa for her swimwear business when she was arrested in Florida on a misdemeanor charge. Despite pleading not guilty, she was transferred to ICE custody and her family hasn't had reliable updates since. 'We don't know where she is from day to day,' a family member said, describing her situation as a 'nightmare.' ICE told CBC News that Callejas 'seems' to be in El Paso, the same facility as Olivera, but could not confirm details. The surge in detentions follows a series of executive orders signed by President Trump earlier this year. According to senior officials, ICE is now under pressure to carry out 3,000 arrests per day, up from about 650 during the earlier months of his second term. Earlier this week, Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem toured a controversial new detention center in Florida dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz." Noem defended the policy, saying, 'We are going after murderers and rapists and traffickers.' But the human toll is hitting far beyond that target. 'I'm ashamed to be an American right now' Frank Olvera, a third-generation American and Trump voter, says the experience has shaken his faith in the system. 'I turn on the TV and see them chasing brown people,' he said. 'This is not what I voted for.' Olvera says he's willing to pay for his wife's deportation, even offer to fly ICE agents back to the US, just to get her home to Canada and restart the citizenship process from there. The Canadian government says it's offering consular assistance and trying to locate all detained citizens, but privacy laws restrict the information it can release. Meanwhile, some detained Canadians have already faced devastating consequences. Johnny Noviello, another Canadian in ICE custody, died last week. His death remains under investigation. For families like Callejas's and Olivera's, the uncertainty is suffocating. 'After all this,' Callejas's family member said, 'she just wants to get out. The dream is over.'
