On Sunday, June 1, 2025, a shocking incident unfolded in Boulder, Colorado, where Mohamed Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, launched an attack on a pro-Israel demonstration. The assault, characterized by the use of Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower, resulted in injuries to twelve individuals, including families and children.
In a swift response, the FBI classified the incident as both a terrorist attack and a hate crime, with Soliman reportedly shouting “Free Palestine” during the chaos. He now faces charges of attempted murder.
Interestingly, Soliman had entered the United States legally in 2022 under the Biden administration but found himself in a precarious situation due to an expired visa at the time of the incident.
Former President Trump has seized upon this situation, attributing the violent outburst to Biden’s so-called “open border” policies, which he claims have exacerbated security risks.
In the wake of the attack, ICE apprehended Soliman’s wife and their five children on Tuesday. The immigration status of the family remains unclear, raising questions about the implications of their detainment.
In a recent statement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released a video addressing the incident. She stated:
“Today, DHS and ICE are taking the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody. This 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.
I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and their families. Justice will be served.”
