A federal judge ruled the deportation case for the wife and children of Mohamed Soliman, charged with a hate crime after the firebomb attack in Boulder, will be heard in the Western District of Texas.

Soon after the attack in Colorado, federal authorities said they had taken the suspect’s family into custody and were seeking to expedite their deportation.

The family of the suspect in a Boulder attack will not be deported at this time, but their case will move to a court in Texas, a judge ruled on Thursday.

A federal judge on Thursday moved the fight over whether to deport the entire family of the accused Boulder firebomber to Texas because the man’s wife and their five children are in detention there.
