Ward Sakeik, who was detained by ICE officials as she returned from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands, has been released after nearly five months in detention, an attorney representing her confirmed to CNN affiliate WFAA. Despite being “stateless” and living in the US since she was eight years old, ICE detained her and attempted to deport her twice - according to attorneys – even after telling ICE she was allowed to be in the country legally. CNN's Danny Freeman speaks with Sakeik and her lawyer Eric Lee.

A newlywed bride from Texas who was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody on Thursday has said she was treated like "cattle" during her detention.

Ward Sakeik, a 22-year-old stateless Palestinian woman married to a U.S. citizen, spoke publicly for the first time since she was detained at a Miami airport in February upon returning from a honeymoon and held in ICE custody for 140 days.

Following her return from the U.S. Virgin Islands with husband Taahir Shaikh, "I was put in a gray tracksuit and shackles immediately," Sakeik told a press conference held in Dallas-Fort Worth.

"I was handcuffed for 16 hours without any water or food on the bus. I was moved around like cattle," she added.
