Biden Judge Blocks Deportation of Boulder Terror Suspect’s Family Amid Controversy

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Colorado, Gordon Gallagher, issued a temporary restraining order on June 4, 2025, halting the Trump administration’s attempt to deport the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national charged in a firebombing attack in Boulder.

The decision has sparked heated debate over immigration policy, security, and due process, with critics like White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller decrying it as “preferential treatment to illegal alien foreign terrorists” and calling the Biden judge’s ruling a “judicial coup.”

Soliman is accused of a hate crime and 42 felonies, including 16 counts of attempted murder, after attacking a pro-Israeli demonstration on June 1, 2025, at a Boulder pedestrian mall. Yelling “Free Palestine,” he used a makeshift flamethrower and tossed an incendiary device into the crowd, injuring 12 people during an event by Run for Their Lives, a group advocating for Israeli hostages in Gaza. Court documents reveal Soliman planned the attack for a year, targeting the group to “kill all Zionist people.”

Soliman entered the U.S. on August 27, 2022, via LAX on a B1/B2 tourist visa, which expired in February 2023. He applied for asylum in September 2022, and despite overstaying his visa, the Biden administration granted him work authorization in March 2023, valid until March 2025. Colorado’s laws, bolstered by the 2013 Colorado Road and Community Safety Act and updated by Senate Bill 24-182 in March 2025, allowed undocumented residents like Soliman to obtain a non-REAL ID compliant driver’s license. Soliman met the requirements, including proof of residency and an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, enabling him to secure a license despite his immigration status.

The family’s detention by ICE for expedited removal prompted their lawsuit, arguing they’ve lived in the U.S. for over two years, making the process unlawful.

A hearing is scheduled for January 16, 2026, as tensions over immigration policy intensify.

Once again, the Courts give extraordinary preferential treatment to illegal alien foreign terrorists. The Boulder terrorist is an illegal, his entire family that he imported to America are illegals, and now a Biden Judge is blocking their deportation. End the judicial coup. https://t.co/HxtpEr9ClC
