On Sunday June 1, 2025, Mohamed Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, attacked a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado.
Twelve people were injured 12 with Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower. The FBI immediately labeled the attack a terrorist attack and hate crime. Soliman was shouting “Free Palestine” as he attacked the families and children.
Soliman was charged with attempted murder.
Soliman entered the U.S. legally in 2022 during the Biden administration but was illegal at the time due to an expired visa.
Trump blames Biden’s “open border” policy for the barbaric attack on Jewish families.
On Tuesday ICE arrested Mohamad Soliman’s wife and five children.
According to CNN, The suspected attacker, Mohamed Soliman, has a wife and five children, according to court filings. It remains unclear what the family members’ US immigration status is and whether the whole family was taken into custody.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced on X:
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.
