The family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man accused of an antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, will be taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, as announced by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The investigation will determine whether the family had prior knowledge of Soliman’s attack, described by Noem as a “heinous” act; she referred to Soliman as a “terrorist” and “illegal alien” who will face severe legal consequences. On Sunday, Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails against protesters advocating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, injuring at least 12 individuals, some of whom were hospitalized with severe burns.
Soliman, an Egyptian national, entered the U.S. on a tourist B2 visa in August 2022 and applied for asylum shortly after. Although his visa expired in February 2023, he had not fully pursued all legal avenues to remain in the country. He has been charged with multiple serious offenses, including attempted first-degree murder, and is currently held on a $10 million bond. Additionally, federal hate crime charges have been filed against him.
In a recent press conference, acting U.S. Attorney J. Bishop Grewell stated that Soliman had reportedly been planning the attack for about a year and expressed no remorse, adding that he would commit the act again if given the chance. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing coverage expected as new details emerge.
