US District Judge John Hinderaker ruled that the Department of Homeland Security had violated Soliman's due process rights.

Soliman, 30, is a native of Egypt who was raised in Phoenix and had lived in the United States since the age of four. Before his deportation to Central Africa, an immigration judge had granted him protection against removal to Egypt because he faced torture or persecution there, the Arizona Daily Star reported.
