Boulder Terror Suspect Mohamed Soliman’s Family Can Be Deported, Court Rules

Family of Suspect Deemed Eligible for Deportation Following Court Ruling

A federal judge has authorized the deportation of the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the Colorado man accused of injuring eight supporters of Israeli hostages with homemade firebombs last month.

Judge Orlando Garcia dismissed the family’s legal efforts to prevent rapid deportation, stating that the procedures conducted by the administration were lawful and standard. The family’s attorney challenged the expedited removal, but the court found it lacked jurisdiction to intervene.

Soliman, 45, and his family moved from Egypt to the US in 2022. Their work and tourist visas have since expired. The suspect faces multiple charges, including 12 federal hate crimes and two counts of first-degree murder.

Video footage from June 1 shows Soliman shouting “Free Palestine” and inciting violence as he threw Molotov cocktails and used homemade flamethrowers at a vehicle with Israeli supporters in Boulder, Colorado.

Eight individuals, aged between 52 and 88, sustained burn injuries and were hospitalized, with four later succumbing to their wounds. Additionally, 21 others experienced injuries but did not require hospital care.

The victims were part of a group supporting “Run for Their Lives,” a campaign backing Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Soliman was detained at the scene, and his family was taken into ICE custody shortly after the attack. Earlier this week, Karen Diamond, 82, died from injuries sustained during the assault.
