A judge has ruled that the family of Mohamed Sabri Soliman, an undocumented Egyptian, can be expelled, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The DHS noted in its statement that a federal court recently rejected a lawsuit aimed at freeing the families of terrorists involved in a recent anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado.
Soliman has been accused of throwing Molotov cocktails and using homemade flamethrowers to target pro-Israel demonstrations. During this incident, several individuals sustained injuries, including 82-year-old Karen Diamond, who later passed away.
Authorities have laid over 70 charges against Soliman, which include first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and committing a hate crime. It was also reported that Soliman was in the U.S. illegally, with an expired visa, and his family—consisting of his wife and five children—were also in the country unlawfully.
The DHS statement adds:
After Soliman was detained by ICE and faced removal processes, U.S. District Judge Gordon Gallagher initially blocked his deportation on June 4. On July 2, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia dismissed the family’s lawsuit, stating that their claims must be dismissed without prejudice, effectively closing the case.
Reports indicate that Soliman attacked Israeli Jews and their supporters at Park Street Mall in Boulder. Witnesses say he used a makeshift flamethrower while shouting “free Palestine” prior to the assault, which was aimed at demonstrators advocating for Israeli hostages taken by Hamas.
There are claims of video footage showing Soliman throwing flames, capturing the chaos of the situation.
Another video reportedly shows Soliman, barely clothed, yelling at bystanders who sought to assist an injured person.
In response to the violence, former President Trump condemned terrorism, stating that Soliman “must go out under the Trump policy,” as per news reports.
The DHS eventually took custody of Soliman and his family.
Before the violent episode, Soliman recorded a video that conveyed his beliefs, suggesting a deeply rooted ideology against American interests. Allegedly, in this recording, he expressed sentiments such as, “Allah is greater than anything,” emphasizing a strong anti-Zionist and anti-American stance.
