The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is an Egyptian national, and his wife and five children were living in the United States illegally. The family was detained by ICE two days after the June 1 attack. <\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s ruling overturns a previous district court ruling blocking the family\u2019s deportation. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a proper end to an absurd legal effort on the plaintiff\u2019s part. Just like her terrorist husband, she and her children are here illegally and are rightfully in ICE custody for removal as a result,\u201d said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, in a statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n
Soliman\u2019s family is currently being held in a detention center in Texas.<\/p>\n
Lawyers for the family argued their detention was unconstitutional because they said it was intended to punish them for Soliman\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n
The decision comes one week after the death of 82-year-old firebombing victim Karen Diamond, Soliman currently faces over 70 charges for the firebombing attack, including first-degree murder, first-degree assault and 12 counts of committing a hate crime.<\/p>\n
