US Court’s SHOCKING Anti-Trump Order? Court Blocks Deportation Of Family Of Colorado Attack Suspect

U.S. federal judge has issued a restraining order blocking the deportation of the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman — the suspect accused of firebombing a Jewish protest in Boulder, Colorado. The move comes just days after the Trump administration vowed swift deportation, posting a taunting “Final Boarding Call” message aimed at the family. The court's decision clashes directly with President Trump's hardline immigration stance and echoes growing tensions between the judiciary and the White House. #Colorado #ColoradoCourt #TrumpColorado #TrumpCourtCase #ColoradoSupremeCourt #TrumpSupremeCourt #DonaldTrump #TrumpAppealsCourt #ColoradoBallot #ColoradoTerrorAttack #TrumpCourtDrama #TrumpVsCourts #SupremeCourtShowdown #TrumpElectionCase #TrumpLegalBattle Also Read Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi, Says Prime Minister Surrendered After Donald Trump's 'Ceasefire' Call :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-targets-pm-modi-says-prime-minister-surrendered-after-donald-trumps-ceasefire-call-4171423.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.102~GR.124~
