FBI Storms Colorado Terror Suspect's Home Amid Claims Biden Admin Allowed 'Illegal Alien' to Remain in U.S.

Boulder, Colorado – June 2, 2025

In a dramatic escalation of events following a violent attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, the FBI stormed the home of the suspected perpetrator late Sunday night, as the Trump administration pointed fingers at the previous Biden administration for allegedly allowing the suspect, described as an "illegal alien," to remain in the country. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is accused of using Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower to injure eight people during a peaceful rally supporting Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at the Pearl Street Mall, a popular pedestrian area in downtown Boulder, where a group organized by Run for Their Lives was marching to raise awareness for hostages held by Hamas. Witnesses reported that Soliman shouted "Free Palestine" and other phrases, including "end Zionists" and "they are killers," before hurling incendiary devices into the crowd. Eight victims, aged 52 to 88, suffered burns, with injuries ranging from minor to critical, according to Boulder Police and the FBI. Soliman himself was injured during the attack and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek described the incident as a "targeted terror attack," stating, "It is clear that this is a targeted act of violence, and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism." Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser suggested the attack "appears to be a hate crime given the group that was targeted," emphasizing that "violence is never the answer to settling differences." Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn confirmed that authorities believe Soliman acted alone, adding, "We’re fairly confident we have the lone suspect in custody."

The Trump administration swiftly seized on the incident to criticize the prior Biden administration’s immigration policies. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller claimed on X, "The Biden Admin granted the alien a visa and then, when he illegally overstayed, they gave him a work permit." Reports indicate Soliman, an Egyptian national, entered the U.S. on a tourist visa during the Biden administration and overstayed its terms. He allegedly filed for asylum in September 2022 and received a work permit in March 2023, which expired on March 28, 2025, according to unverified claims cited by Fox News and other outlets. The Department of Homeland Security has not yet officially confirmed these details, and the exact circumstances of Soliman’s immigration status remain under investigation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack, stating, "The victims were attacked simply because they were Jews," and expressed confidence that U.S. authorities would prosecute the perpetrator "to the fullest extent of the law." Colorado Governor Jared Polis called the incident a "heinous act of terror," noting that the U.S. Jewish community was already reeling from the recent fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., on May 22, 2025.

The FBI’s Denver field office continues to investigate, with tactical teams and a bomb disposal robot deployed to secure the area and examine a "vehicle of interest." No formal charges have been announced, but authorities have pledged to hold Soliman "fully accountable."

This attack comes amid heightened tensions and a reported spike in antisemitic violence in the U.S., linked by some officials to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The Justice Department decried the Boulder incident as a "needless act of violence," underscoring the need to address ideologically motivated attacks targeting religious or ethnic groups.
