The federal court said the evacuation of Mohamed Soliman's wife and children without due process could cause "irreparable harm."
A U.S. judge temporarily blocked the deportation of family members associated with suspects accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a pro-Israeli rally in Boulder, Colorado.
President Donald Trump arrested Mohamed Soliman and his five children's wives to expel their wives, and the ruling was conducted Wednesday.
Justice Gordon Gallagher wrote that Soliman's wife, Hayam El Gamal and her children, could not evacuate him from the country as long as he had his command stand.
"In addition, the court believes that unproceded deportation could cause irreparable harm," the judge said.
El Gamal, who was not accused of crime, filed the release of a legal petition.
Meanwhile, Soliman was charged with federal hate crimes in Sunday's attack, causing 12 injuries.
It is unclear whether the Trump administration has any evidence that Soliman's relatives committed misconduct or simply engaging in their targets with him. Authorities said Soriman appeared to be operating alone in the attack.
Nevertheless, Trump officials said they will take a positive approach to investigating and expelling individuals they believe are related to “terrorism.”
“In view of yesterday’s terrorist attacks, all terrorists, their family members and terrorist sympathizers should know that under the Trump administration, we will find you, revoke your visa and deport you.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed on Tuesday that Elgamal, her three daughters and two sons, four of whom are minors.
"We are investigating his family's outrageous attack on this outrageous attack, if they know the attack, or if it is supported," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a video posted online. "Justice will be served."
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Soriman and his family arrived in the United States on a temporary visa in 2022 before applying for asylum.
Soliman's visa expires in 2023. Media reports show that El Gamal applied for a job visa: She has a background as a network engineer.
Critics say the strategy of punishing the suspect’s relatives is a form of illegal collective punishment.
In the West Bank, for example, human rights groups condemn Israeli operations to demolish Palestinian houses associated with the suspects in armed attacks.
The Colorado attacks are linked to Israel’s war on Gaza, which UN experts describe as genocide. The suspect allegedly shouted "Free Palestine" during the bomb explosion.
The war supported by Washington also triggered other violence in the soil of the United States. The incident in Colorado last month followed two Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C.
In October 2023, a six-year-old Palestinian boy was stabbed to death in another crime related to the war. The 73-year-old suspect reportedly told the boy's mother that Muslims "must die" when they attacked them. He was sentenced to 53 years in prison after being convicted of murder and hate.
A few weeks later, three Palestinian American students were shot and injured in Vermont.
The war against Gaza killed at least 54,607 Palestinians, according to health officials.
