Judge Halts Mid-Flight Deportation of Boulder Suspect’s Family

The move signals an escalating fight over due process in immigration enforcement.

Overview

  • An emergency federal court order forced a deportation flight to turn back, and the mother and five children were released in Colorado.
  • Immigration and Customs Enforcement had re-detained the family at a scheduled check-in after a judge ordered their release on due-process grounds.
  • The Department of Homeland Security says a final removal order was issued in December 2025 and affirmed on April 22, 2026, and it will continue to pursue deportation.
  • The family has reported their location to ICE, the mother and eldest daughter wear GPS monitors, and supporters cite untreated medical issues for the mother.
  • Mohamed Soliman faces more than 180 charges in the Boulder firebombing case, yet an FBI agent testified the family had no prior knowledge of the attack.
