flag Maher Tarabishi, a 62-year-old Texas man detained by ICE since October 2025, was denied temporary release to attend the funeral of his 30-year-old son, Wael, who died from Pompe disease on January 23, 2026. flag Wael, a U.S. citizen, relied entirely on his father for daily care, and his health deteriorated after Maher’s detention, leading to multiple hospitalizations. flag Despite repeated requests and appeals, ICE denied the release, citing enforcement protocols, though the agency allows emergency family visits. flag The family and legal advocates called the decision inhumane, emphasizing the emotional toll and the impact of immigration policies on vulnerable families.
