Family of Boulder attack suspect ordered released from ICE custody
Key Points:
- A federal judge ordered the release of Mohamed Sabry Soliman's wife and five children from immigration custody after more than 10 months of detention at a Texas family detention facility, but they remain detained despite the ruling.
- Soliman, charged with over 100 counts including first-degree murder and attempted murder related to a Molotov cocktail attack on pro-Israel demonstrators, has pleaded not guilty; his family denies involvement and claims continued detention lacks evidence.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opposes the family's release, labeling Soliman a terrorist and emphasizing efforts to remove individuals they consider national security threats.
- The family's attorney reported that El Gamal, Soliman’s wife, was recently denied adequate medical care for worsening chest pain, while DHS denies allegations of inadequate healthcare in detention facilities.
- A hearing regarding the family's detention status is scheduled for Thursday, amid ongoing legal and medical concerns.
