Texas Judge Rules To Free Palestinian Family
by Jay Gormley
IRVING (CBS 11 News) ―
A judge has found that there is not enough evidence to hold a Palestinian family at a detention center in Haskell, TX.
The Hazahza family has been living in Irving since 2001. But last November, the federal government
detained the family after their request for political asylum was denied.
Two of the family members were released from the Hutto Detention Center near Austin. The remaining five are being held at the prison in Haskell.
The judge ruled that if the government does not provide evidence that the family is a flight risk by May 2nd, they will be released.
