Suspension of Soliman's Family's Deportation: A Temporary Relief
In a surprising development on June 5, 2025, U.S. District Judge Gordon Gallagher intervened and ordered a halt to the impending deportation of Mohamed Soliman's family, including his wife, Hayem El Gamal, and their five children. Here's a lowdown on the situation and the reasons behind the judge's decision.
The Judge's Justification- Preserving Jurisdiction: The judge's order aimed to preserve the court's jurisdiction, stating that hasty deportation without proper legal proceedings could lead to irreversible harm, demanding immediate action to prevent the family's removal from the country or state[1].- Urgency and Legal Process: The judge emphasized the urgent need for the order, underscoring that due process must be followed to prevent potential harm arising from swift deportation without proper legal steps[1].
Legal Position- Asylum Application: Mohamed Soliman, an Egyptian native, applied for asylum in September 2022, after entering the U.S. in August that year. The family's current immigration status is currently under scrutiny as part of removal proceedings[1].- Current Custody: The wife and children are currently being detained at a federal detention center in Dilley, Texas, designed for families with minors[1].
Future Proceedings- Temporary Restraining Order Hearing: On June 13, 2025, a hearing will take place at the federal courthouse in Denver to deliberate on a temporary restraining order. This hearing is likely to address the family's detention and potential deportation further[1].- Immigration and Legal Challenges: The family will face ongoing legal battles, grappling with both immigration proceedings and the consequences of Mohamed Soliman's charges, including attempted murder and federal hate crimes[1].
In essence, Judge Gallagher's order seeks to maintain legal oversight and guarantee due process for Mohamed Soliman's family during their immigration proceedings. More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
