DENVER — A Texas-based immigration judge has ordered the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release the detained family of the man accused of carrying out the Boulder terror attack last year.US District Judge Fred Biery on Wednesday granted the release of Hayam El Gamal, the wife of suspected Boulder attacker Mohammed Soliman , and her five children under the condition that they show up at future court hearings regarding their status in the country.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in a San Antonio courtroom to determine if the order will be accepted by both parties.In a statement to Denver7, Eric Lee, an attorney representing the El Gamal family, claims their detention violates the Constitution.“A federal court has determined ICE’s prolonged detention of this family violates the Constitution. Nevertheless, ICE has not yet released the family. No more delays, no more obfuscations: release the El Gamal family immediately,” Lee said in a statement.Federal authorities say Soliman, 46, an Egyptian national, has been living illegally in the U.S. with his family.The family has been detained for more than 10 months at an immigration detention center in Texas, after an ICE raid at the family’s Colorado Springs home a day after the June 1, 2025, fatal firebombing attack in Boulder.Soliman faces murder, attempted murder, and 12 federal hate crime charges in the Boulder attack, which killed one and injured seven on the Pearl Street Mall.Investigators allege Soliman, disguised as a gardener, threw Molotov cocktails at a group peacefully demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages. Authorities say he confessed to the attack in custody.The family was detained for 'expedited removal,' per the White House, but court petitions have delayed the process.Soliman remains in custody at the Boulder County Jail.◼️ Previous coverage:Prayers, patterns, and promises along Pearl Street Mall one day after Boulder attackBoulder County Commissioner addresses safety concerns after Pearl Street Mall attackA Holocaust survivor is among the victims of Sunday's antisemitic attack in BoulderWhat we know about Mohamed Soliman, Boulder firebombing suspect now charged with a federal hate crime‘A normalization of hate’: Anti-Defamation League reacts to targeted Boulder firebombingBoulder attack that injured 8 pro-Israel demonstrators being investigated as act of terrorism‘Most horrific thing’ I’ve ever seen: Witness describes attack on pro-Israel demonstrators in BoulderColorado Jewish community reacts to Boulder attacks: 'We are not going to allow terror to define us'Suspect accused of burning, injuring 12 in Boulder had planned attack for 1 year, affidavit readsICE detains family of man charged in Boulder Pearl Street Mall attack for 'expedited removal'A US judge halts the deportation of the Egyptian family of the Boulder firebombing suspect
