Judge ends order blocking deportation of family of man charged in Boulder firebomb attack

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday ended an order blocking the deportation of the family of the man charged in the fatal firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, noting government lawyers say the man's relatives are not being rushed out of the country as the White House originally stated. Hayam El Gamal and her five children were detained by immigration agents on June 3, two days after her husband Mohamed Sabry Soliman was accused of throwing two Molotov cocktails at people demonstrating for awareness of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Prosecutors announced Monday that an 82-year-old woman who was injured in the attack had died. U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garica dismissed the family's lawsuit challenging their detention by immigration authorities. The ruling noted that El Gamal and her children ages 4 to 18 are not eligible for expedited deportations because they have been in the country for over two years, which he said lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have acknowledged. Soliman is an Egyptian national who federal authorities say was living in the U.S. illegally. He is being prosecuted in both state and federal court for the attack, which prosecutors say injured a total of 13 people. Investigators say he planned the attack for a year and was driven by a desire 'to kill all Zionist people.' He has pleaded not guilty to federal hate crimes charges but hasn't been asked to enter a plea in the state case, which now includes a murder charge. On the day El Gamal and her children were arrested, the White House said in social media posts that they 'COULD BE DEPORTED AS EARLY AS TONIGHT' and that six one-way tickets had been purchased for them, with their 'final boarding call coming soon." Those statements led a federal judge in Colorado to issue an emergency order temporarily blocking the family's deportation, Garcia said. The case was later transferred to Texas, where the family is being held in an immigration detention center for families. Garcia is based in San Antonio. Because the family is in regular deportation proceedings, there is no longer any reason to block their deportation, Garcia said. Regular proceedings can take months or even years if decisions are appealed. He also turned down the family's request to be released from the detention center in the meantime, saying they can pursue release through the normal bond process in the immigration system. Lawyers for the family had challenged their detention as unconstitutional because they said it was intended to punish them for Soliman's actions. According to a court filing by El Gamal's lawyers, one of the immigration agents who arrested them told her, 'You have to pay for the consequences of what you did.' Garcia said immigration authorities have discretion in deciding who to detain and he did not have authority to review their decision to detain El Gamal and her children. Lawyers for the government said they are being lawfully held because they are accused of overstaying their visas. One of the family's attorneys, Niels Frenzen, said they hoped to get the family released from the detention center while the deportation proceedings continue.

Family of man charged in deadly Boulder Molotov cocktail attack can be deported, judge rules

A federal judge in Texas has ruled that the family of the man charged in the deadly Molotov cocktail attack in Boulder, Colorado, can be deported, dismissing a challenge to their removal filed last month. Hayam El Gamal, the wife of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was apprehended following the attack and was initially slated for expedited deportation. The deportation case involving Soliman's wife and five children was transferred to Texas. Last month, a judge issued a temporary order halting the family's deportation, which remained in place until now. Dismissing the family's legal challenge, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia wrote, 'Upon review of the parties' advisories, the record, and the applicable law, the Court finds that it lacks jurisdiction to grant Petitioners the relief they seek and must dismiss this case without prejudice.' Soliman has been hit with several state charges, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and assault. A preliminary hearing in the state case is set for July 15. Soliman, who is being held in federal custody, has pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges. Authorities said Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at a group of marchers who were advocating for the release of the Israeli hostages outside the Boulder courthouse on June 1, yelling "Free Palestine" during the attack.

Federal judge tosses case from family of Boulder suspect seeking to block their deportation

A federal judge has tossed the case of the family of an Egyptian national who attacked a group of protestors in Colorado, ending their legal bid to block their deportation. The case, brought by Hayam El Gamal, the wife of Mohamed Soliman, ends the family's legal battle to remain in the country. Solimna is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at pro-Israeli demonstrators in Boulder, Colo., now charged with murder as well as other crimes in connection with the attack. While Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem initially said Soliman's family members were taken into custody to ascertain whether they had any connection with the attack, the agency swiftly moved to deport them. U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia determined he did not have the authority to intervene in the case, saying the matter would instead need to be reviewed by an immigration court judge. 'The Court hastens to remind Petitioners that they still have an avenue for seeking their release from detention while their removal proceedings continue. As alluded to above, the regulations promulgated pursuant to the INA prescribe administrative procedures for obtaining relief from discretionary detention,' Garcia wrote. Garcia previously had blocked deportation of the family while he further weighed the issue, and in dismissing the case, the ruling opens the door to continue with their deportation. But Garcia noted the proceedings determined the family has not been placed in expedited removal proceedings and should therefore make their case to an immigration judge. Soliman, who is from Egypt, came to the U.S. on a tourist visa and then applied for asylum alongside his family. He stands accused of attacking people who were demonstrating on behalf of hostages held by Hamas. Soliman's other charges include 52 counts of attempted first-degree murder, eight counts of first-degree assault, 18 counts of attempted first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault, two counts of using an incendiary device and 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device. Each of those charges carries penalties of multiple years behind bars.
