A federal judge on Wednesday barred the Trump administration from deporting the wife and five children of Mohamed Soliman, the Egyptian national accused of attacking a group of demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails.
The order blocking the removal of Soliman’s family came a day after they were taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents.
The White House’s official X account had tweeted about the family’s detention Tuesday, writing, “THEY COULD BE DEPORTED AS EARLY AS TONIGHT.”
