Hayman El Gamal, a mother of five held at an ICE detention center in Texas, was taken to the emergency room in "excruciating" pain after being refused a CT scan for a lump in her chest. A subsequent CT scan found fluid around her heart, or pericardial effusion, causing severe pain. Her attorney, Eric Lee, stated that she had been pleading for medical attention for the abnormal growth since Feb. 17. The hospital, which manages the detention center, denied an ultrasound request. Lee asked three physicians to independently review ElGamal's medical records, which stated she should receive further testing for cancer, autoimmune disease, and cardiac issues. The family has been detained for over 10 months and have made multiple attempts to secure their release in federal and immigration courts.
