In a significant legal decision, a federal judge appointed by President Biden has temporarily halted the deportation of Hayem El Gamal and her five children, relatives of Mohamed Soliman, the primary suspect in a recent firebombing incident in Boulder, Colorado. U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher issued a temporary restraining order (TRO), preventing federal authorities from removing the family while an asylum application is considered.
The TRO will remain in effect until a hearing scheduled for June 13, stemming from El Gamal’s friend, Susanna Dvortsin, who sought emergency legal protection for them. Gallagher acknowledged the potential for “irreparable harm” should the family be deported without a fair chance to present their case.
Despite the family’s expired visas, it has been reported that an asylum claim was filed on their behalf post-incident. The situation raises crucial questions about immigration enforcement, particularly concerning the balance between legal protections for families and the ongoing investigations into Soliman’s activities.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that the family is currently in custody, emphasizing the potential legal ramifications surrounding Soliman’s actions. The incident has ignited a political debate, with critics attributing it to lenient immigration policies in states like Colorado. Republican leaders have called for more stringent measures to prioritize national security over sanctuary state practices.
