(TJV NEWS) The wife and five children of Mohamed Soliman — the man accused of carrying out a flamethrower attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado — have been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are being processed for expedited removal, Fox News reported Tuesday.

According to Fox News correspondents John Roberts and Jacqui Heinrich, the development was confirmed by Fox national correspondent Bill Melugin, who cited multiple senior officials within the Department of Homeland Security. The family is being slated for rapid deportation under a process that bypasses traditional immigration court hearings.

“I’m being told the family is being processed for expedited removal, which allows rapid deportation without a hearing before an immigration court/judge,” Melugin wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Soliman is accused of carrying out a premeditated attack with a homemade flamethrower at a pro-Israel rally on Sunday. The demonstration was held to demand the release of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Eight individuals were injured by the flames, some reportedly suffering severe burns.

The FBI has labeled the assault a “targeted” act of domestic terrorism and says Soliman had been planning the attack for over a year.

Former President Donald Trump weighed in on the incident via Truth Social, blaming President Joe Biden’s immigration policies for allowing such violence to occur.

“He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy,” Trump wrote. “Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.”

The expedited removal process being applied to Soliman’s family allows ICE to bypass immigration court proceedings if the individuals are determined to be in the U.S. unlawfully and have not been present in the country for at least two years. It is typically used to quickly deport undocumented immigrants apprehended at or near the border, but it can be applied more broadly under certain circumstances.

There is no public confirmation yet about the legal status of Soliman’s family members or how long they have been residing in the United States. ICE has not issued an official statement, and the Department of Homeland Security has not responded to media requests for comment.

This latest development adds another layer of complexity to a case already drawing national scrutiny. Civil rights organizations and immigration advocacy groups are watching closely to see whether due process is upheld amid calls for strict enforcement.

Soliman is currently in federal custody and is expected to face a range of criminal charges, including domestic terrorism and attempted murder.
