Colorado firebomb attack: Biden-appointed judge blocks deportation of suspect’s family, says this expulsion would cause 'irreparable harm'

A Biden administration-appointed federal judge in Colorado has halted the deportation of the Boulder firebombing incident suspect's family members, including his five children.

Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian national who stayed illegally in the US even after his visa expired, was arrested on Sunday for firebombing a Jewish gathering in Colorado. US District Judge Gordon P Gallagher issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) that prevents immigration authorities from removing Soliman's wife, Hayem El Gamal, and their children from Colorado or the United States, Fox News reported."Defendants are temporarily restrained and enjoined from removing Hayem El Gamal and her five minor children from the State of Colorado or the United States," stated Gallagher's order, which remains effective until June 13.The ruling followed an emergency request from El Gamal's friend, Susanna Dvortsin, who sought legal protection for the family. Dvortsin contended that the family faced immediate deportation without proper legal proceedings. Judge Gallagher concurred, noting potential "irreparable harm" from deportation. A hearing is scheduled for June 13 at Denver's Byron G. Rogers Courthouse.Sources informed Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that while El Gamal and her children have exceeded their visa duration, Soliman had previously filed an asylum application for them.

What we know about Soliman's family

Soliman's daughter graduated from Thomas Maclaren State Charter School in Colorado Springs. According to reports, she came to the US with her father two years ago and is also probably an illegal alien. Trump-aide Laura Loomer said that a Colorado newspaper did a profile piece on his daughter, Habiba Soliman, for attending the school in hijab.According to the article, she described in her scholarship application how her family had immigrated to the US after living in Kuwait, noting that her father had undergone a “difficult surgery” when she was young “that restored his ability to walk.”

The girl said the incident inspired her to pursue medical school – a dream that would have been impossible in Kuwait but within reach in America.During the investigation, Soliman revealed that he wanted to kill all Zionists and would do again. He planned the attack on the Jewish group that assembled every Sunday demanding the release of the Israelis in Gaza, but waited for her daughter's graduation.Police said after Soliman's arrest, his family members cooperated with the investigation. They were not privy to Soliman's plan.
