A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ordered the release of the family of a man charged in a Boulder firebomb attack, ending their nearly 10-month detention in a family immigration facility.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery said Hayam El Gamal and her five children may return to their home in Colorado Springs as their immigration proceedings continue. El Gamal and her 18-year-old daughter, Habiba, must wear electronic monitors and the family must comply with any “reasonable” reporting requirements to immigration authorities.
Biery’s order came after a last-minute attempt by immigration authorities to have the family deported before today’s hearing.
El Gamal and her five children, ages 5 to 18, have been detained in Dilley Immigration Processing Center since last June, when the father Mohamed Sabry Soliman was charged with murder and a hate crime, among other charges, in the attack on mostly Jewish protesters. The family immigrated to the U.S. from Egypt and had a pending asylum case. They were working and going to school in Colorado Springs, where they have lived since 2022.
The family has repeatedly said they had no knowledge of the attack and the FBI has also said investigators found no evidence they were involved. They are believed to be the longest-held family at the facility since Donald Trump’s second presidential term.
The family’s release date was not immediately known. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return a request for comment.
In court Thursday, an attorney for the Department of Justice requested that Biery postpone his release order, which the judge denied.
