A federal judge has issued an order temporarily blocking the deportation of the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the Egyptian national accused of orchestrating a terror attack in Colorado.
The ruling came after the Biden-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Gordon Gallagher intervened in response to efforts by federal immigration authorities to swiftly remove the family from the United States.

Soliman, 45, is facing federal hate crime charges and 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder in connection to a violent incident that took place during a march in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
The attack injured 12 individuals and involved what authorities have described as an antisemitic assault.
Witnesses reported that Soliman was shirtless and shouting “Free Palestine” prior to carrying out the alleged attack.

Soliman’s wife, Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal, 41, along with their 18-year-old daughter Habiba Mohamed Sabry Farag Soliman, two younger daughters, and two sons were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Tuesday.
The family had been facing expedited deportation proceedings before Judge Gallagher issued the emergency order.
“Defendants SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from … the United States unless and until this Court or Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order,” Gallagher wrote in his ruling issued Wednesday.
The family originally arrived in the United States from Kuwait in August 2022. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), they were permitted to remain in the country only until February 2023.
In September 2022, shortly after their arrival, Soliman filed an asylum application in which he listed his wife and five children as dependents.
He was granted work authorization in March 2023, but that authorization expired in March 2024. As of Wednesday, his asylum claim remained pending.
In the wake of Soliman’s arrest, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated that federal authorities would investigate whether any members of Soliman’s immediate family had prior knowledge of the alleged plot.
“We are thoroughly reviewing all available information to determine if any of Soliman’s family members were aware of his intentions,” she said.
Federal authorities believe Soliman had been planning the attack for over a year and had intentionally waited until his eldest daughter completed her high school education before carrying out the alleged act.
In his ruling, Judge Gallagher emphasized the urgency and potential harm of removing the family prior to a formal court process.
“Deportation without process could work irreparable harm, and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” Gallagher wrote.
The judge scheduled a hearing on the family’s request for a temporary restraining order for June 13, which will determine whether the current stay of deportation will remain in effect.
Judge Gallagher, who issued the emergency order, was nominated by Joe Biden and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a 53-43 vote in March 2023.
Soliman remains in federal custody.
If convicted on all charges, he faces a potential life sentence.
