Judge Rules Boulder Attack Suspect's Family Can't Be Deported without Due Process
- A federal judge ruled on June 12 that Mohamed Soliman's wife and five children cannot be deported without a chance to contest it.
- The family arrived in the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa on August 27, 2022, which expired in February 2023, and Soliman filed for asylum on September 29.
- Soliman, who allegedly carried out a Molotov cocktail attack on June 1 that wounded 15 individuals and a dog, is facing more than 100 state charges encompassing attempted murder and assault, along with a federal hate crime accusation.
- The family was taken into custody on June 3 and transferred to an ICE facility in Texas, but the judge highlighted that the government failed to provide a satisfactory reason for the accelerated removal process.
- The ruling implies due process protections will apply, allowing the family to contest deportation amid an ongoing asylum claim as legal proceedings continue.
