Wife of Boulder Firebombing Suspect Appeals for Support Amid Deportation Delay

The wife of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the alleged perpetrator of a violent incident in Boulder, Colorado, has made a heartfelt public plea for support from the American community. This statement comes after a ruling by a Texas U.S. District Court judge that allows her family to remain in the country while deportation proceedings unfold.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, stands accused of injuring over a dozen individuals by throwing Molotov cocktails into a crowd of pro-Israel demonstrators while shouting slogans in support of Palestine. In the aftermath of the attack, federal authorities detained his wife, Hayem El Gamal, and their five children, who live approximately two hours away in Colorado Springs.

Legal Proceedings Surrounding Deportation

A Colorado judge ruled last week that judicial relief for El Gamal and her children must come from a judge with jurisdiction over the case, as they were removed by federal officials and sent to Texas.

U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia, located in San Antonio, granted a 14-day extension on the previously issued order that prohibits the family’s immediate deportation.

Public Statement from Hayem El Gamal

In the wake of Judge Garcia’s ruling, El Gamal, through her attorney, shared her first public statement regarding the harrowing situation her family faces.

There is never an excuse for hurting innocent people. We have been cooperating with the authorities, who are trying their best to get to the bottom of this. We send our love to the many families who are suffering as a result of the attack.”

The Family’s Ordeal in Detention

El Gamal described the distressing experiences following the attack, including a late-night flight and an ensuing stay at a Texas immigration detention facility.

“This includes my two four-year-old children, my seven-year-old, my fifteen-year-old, and my oldest daughter, who just turned eighteen in jail,” she continued. “We are grieving, and we are suffering. We are treated like animals by the officers, who told us we are being punished for what my husband is accused of doing. But why punish me? Why punish my four-year-old children? Why punish any of us, who did nothing wrong?”

Aiming for a Better Life in America

Since arriving in the United States three years ago, El Gamal asserts that her family
