A federal court intervened on Wednesday to block the planned deportation of Mohamed Sabry Soliman’s wife and children following his arrest in connection with Sunday’s firebomb assault targeting Jews in Boulder, Colorado, according to The Associated Press.
Judge Gordon P. Gallagher of the US District Court approved an emergency request to pause deportation procedures against Soliman’s family, who were taken into custody by immigration enforcement officials on Tuesday.
The individuals include Soliman’s spouse, his 18-year-old daughter, and four younger children. All of them are Egyptian nationals and have not been implicated in the criminal act. Soliman, 45, is currently facing both federal hate crime allegations and attempted murder charges under state law.

New York City experienced the fewest shootings and murders ever recorded during the first five months of 2025, according to data released by Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD. The mayor’s office credited a comprehensive crackdown on illegal firearms for the milestone.
From January through May, the city saw 264 shootings, marking a new historic low—beating the previous record of 267 during the same months in 2018, City Hall reported. The number of homicides during this period dropped to 112, slightly under the earlier lows of 113 in both 2014 and 2017.

NATO defense ministers are set Thursday to approve purchasing targets for stocking up on weapons and military equipment to better defend Europe, the Arctic and the North Atlantic, as part of a U.S. push to ramp up security spending. The “capability targets” lay out goals for each of the 32 nations to purchase priority equipment like air defense systems, long-range missiles, artillery, ammunition, drones and “strategic enablers” such as air-to-air refueling, heavy air transport and logistics. Each nation’s plan is classified, so details are scarce. “Today we decide on the capability targets. From there, we will assess the gaps we have, not only to be able to defend ourselves today, but also three, five, seven years from now,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said.
