Washington — A federal judge in Colorado temporarily blocked federal immigration officials from removing the wife and five children of the man charged in Sunday’s attack in Boulder from the country or the state.
U.S. District Judge Gordon Gallagher issued brief relief to Hayem El Gamal, the wife of Mohamed Soliman, and their children in order to preserve the court’s jurisdiction over the case.
“Moreover, the court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” Gallagher wrote.
The judge also set a hearing on a request for a temporary restraining order for June 13 at the federal courthouse in Denver.
