Ayman Soliman's attorneys announced they filed an emergency petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which is a legal action taken that demands immediate court intervention when someone believes they are being unlawfully detained or imprisoned.

They also filed a request for a temporary restraining order in federal court.

Soliman's legal team claims that while being detained, he was placed into solitary confinement and was "subjected to anti-Muslim persecution by a corrections officer." According to documents, his team claims Soliman's solitary confinement lasted from Aug. 1 to Aug. 5.
