A federal judge on June 4 issued an order to prevent the deportation of family members of a man charged in the firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Judge Gordon Gallagher of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado granted a request from the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman to block their deportation proceedings, after immigration authorities took them into custody.
