April 24 (UPI) -- A federal judge has ordered federal immigration officials to immediately release the family of the man accused of killing one person and injuring 13 others at a Colorado demonstration in support of Israeli hostages last June.
Hayam El Gamal and her five children were detained by federal immigration agents on June 3, two days after her husband, Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, allegedly attacked people attending a weekly Boulder, Colo., event with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails.
In announcing their detention, then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said they would be deported if they had any knowledge of the attack. The White House followed by stating, "Six one-way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding call coming soon."
What followed was protracted litigation, led by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, to prevent their removal.
