NEWS ALERT: After a terrorist act in Boulder, Colorado, left numerous Americans severely injured, immigration authorities took swift action against the family of Mohamed Soliman.
Specifically, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed the man’s wife and children in custody.
Soliman is an illegal alien who entered the U.S. on an expired visa. He now faces 16 counts of attempted murder after hurling Molotov cocktails at a Jewish gathering.
This decisive move by Homeland Security officials signals a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism and potential accomplices.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Soliman’s family members are now part of an expedited removal process.
At the same time, authorities investigate their potential knowledge or involvement in the attack.
Soliman, an Egyptian national who lived in Kuwait before moving to Colorado Springs, had been planning the attack for over a year.
According to federal authorities, Soliman expressed explicit murderous intent toward Jewish people.
Court documents reveal the suspect told investigators that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead” and indicated he would attack again if released.
The Boulder attack, which injured twelve people, demonstrates the alarming failures in America’s immigration system after years of Democrat mismanagement.
Soliman entered the U.S. illegally in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired in February 2023.
Despite his illegal status, he remained in the country after filing for asylum in September 2022, giving him more than enough time to plan his terrorist attack.
“Mohamed’s despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we’re also investigating to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it,” Noem said in a video posted to X.
The FBI discovered Soliman had carefully planned his attack for a year, even waiting until after his daughter’s graduation to execute it.
He reportedly took a concealed carry class but could not legally purchase a firearm due to his immigration status.
At the time of the attack, Soliman disguised himself as a gardener and brought sixteen unused Molotov cocktails and a backpack weed sprayer containing flammable substances.
Victims described the horrific scene as Soliman unleashed his attack on the peaceful gathering outside the Boulder courthouse.
“They’re literally on fire, I don’t know if I can express it enough, literally on fire and trying to pull my friend out of the fire,” said Omer Shachar, describing the chaotic scene.
The suspect expressed no regrets about the attack and is currently held in Boulder County jail on a $10 million cash-only bond.
He faces multiple serious charges, including attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and possession of an incendiary device.
Secretary Noem has labeled Soliman as both a “terrorist” and an “illegal alien,” highlighting the dual threat that continues to endanger American citizens.
Her decisive action against the suspect’s family signals a tougher approach to those who may enable or support terrorist activities on American soil.
The victims of the attack were participants in a “Run for Their Lives” group advocating for hostages held in Gaza.
