Federal Magistrate Recommends Colorado Firebombing Suspect's Family Be Released From ICE Custody
The judge cited prolonged detention and ordered the family released with a requirement that they appear at future immigration hearings.
- On Monday, Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Chestney recommended immediate release of Hayam El Gamal and her five children from detention in Dilley, Texas, citing "prolonged detention and the Government's aggressive tactics in this case."
- Immigration officials detained El Gamal and her children ten months ago, two days after Mohamed Soliman's June 1, 2025, attack in Boulder, though the FBI concluded months ago the family knew nothing of Soliman's plans.
- Attorney Eric Lee stated El Gamal "suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE," reporting she has a heart-related growth and her child requires dental surgery.
- DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated late Monday the "facts of this case have not changed," maintaining Soliman remains a terrorist and the government continues advocating for removal of those lacking legal status.
- A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in a San Antonio courtroom to determine whether both parties will accept the judge's release order, with attorneys remaining hopeful the court will finalize the release.
