Deportation of family of Boulder, Colorado attack suspect moves forward following judge's order

Source: CBS News

Updated on: July 2, 2025 / 7:44 PM MDT


A federal judge in Texas has dismissed a petition filed by the family of the deadly Colorado firebombing attack suspect requesting to be released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

Mohamed Soliman was arrested in Boulder a month ago and accused of using Molotov cocktails to attack members of the group participating in a Run For Their Lives event as they walked to bring awareness to Israeli hostages held by the terror group Hamas. Multiple people were taken to the hospital after the terror attack, and one person eventually died.

Soliman's wife, Hayam El Gamal contended that she and her five children's detention by ICE violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Orlando Garcia, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, wrote Soliman's family wasn't being subjected to "expedited removal," as the family suggested, and that they "are receiving the correct (and full) process due under the Immigration and Nationality Act."

that the whole family was in on this? Or that they even knew about it? Deporting the whole family, including a daughter who was an honor student and had apparently been accepted into more than one pretty good college, is a very good way to grow a whole family who hate America....from a family who previously loved America. Just because their father had succumbed to propaganda....

and in this case, the family was going to go through the "regular" immigration adjudication process (not the "expedited" which is what the original stay was put in place for) because their own Visas had expired.
