Texas student from Jordan freed from immigration detention
None
HOUSTON - A Jordanian teenager returned to his home near Houston on Wednesday after being detained for more than a week following President Donald Trump's executive order curbing immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Mohammad Abu Khadra, 16, flew into Houston and was picked up by his brother, Rami. The two live in Katy, where Mohammad attends school at Katy High.
The teen was attempting to return to Houston on Jan. 28 when he was detained by US Customs and Border Protection, the Houston Chronicle reported. He was held there for two days before security officials decided to send him to an immigration detention facility for juveniles in Chicago.
Mohammad learned Tuesday that he would be returned the next day to Houston.
