Boulder illegal immigrant terror suspect worked in healthcare field, as rideshare driver before attack
The Egyptian national suspected of injuring 12 people in a firebombing during a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday worked in the healthcare industry and as a rideshare driver before committing the heinous act. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, first came to the United States on a non-immigrant visa in August 2022. When that visa expired in February 2023, he remained in the country. The following month, he was granted a work visa, which was valid through March of this year. Fox News Digital has learned that Soliman worked in accounting at a medical practice called Veros Health, headquartered in the Denver suburb of Centennial, for a brief period at the beginning of his lawful work stay in the country. 'Usaid' Paperwork Found In Car Of Boulder Terror Attack Suspect Targeting Pro-israel Group "We can confirm that Mohamed Soliman worked with Veros from May 2023 to August 2023," a company spokesperson said. "He was hired in our accounting department. He went through a hiring process with ADP, our employer [Professional Employer Organization]. At the time of hire, he was confirmed to have a valid work visa, which was noted to expire in March 2025." Earlier this year, Soliman began working as a rideshare driver. His lawful work visa expired in March, making him an illegal immigrant at the time of the attack. Read On The Fox News App A neighbor told Fox News Digital that Mohamed Soliman worked for Uber and was "not home that often" because he was "working really hard." Soliman began working for the rideshare company in the spring of 2023, Uber said. Alleged Boulder Terrorist Overstayed Visa, Granted Work Permit By Biden Administration The company further noted that all drivers must meet numerous eligibility requirements, including passing a criminal and driving history background check, providing a photo ID, and holding a valid Social Security number. Soliman met all the requirements per Colorado state law, Uber said. He also had no concerning feedback while driving for the platform, according to Uber, which has since banned his driver's account and contacted law enforcement. Soliman is accused of using makeshift incendiary devices, including a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, in an attempt to burn pro-Israel demonstrators alive on Sunday. A group of "Run for Their Lives" advocates had gathered at the Pearl Street Mall to raise awareness about Israeli hostages still held captive by Hamas terrorists in Gaza before they were viciously attacked. Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What We Know About Illegal Immigrant Accused In Colorado Terror Attack The attack left 12 people injured, one critically. One of the victims was a Holocaust survivor. Soliman has been charged federally with a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion, or national origin. Federal charging documents detail how Soliman shouted "Free Palestine" during the attack. "He traveled to Boulder, Colorado, in his vehicle with the Molotov cocktails and threw two of the cocktails at individuals participating in a pro-Israel gathering," the complaint says. "He also stated that he picked up gas at a gas station on the way to Boulder. He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead." He also allegedly stated "he would do it…again." At the state level, he has been charged with first-degree murder, crimes against at-risk adults/elderly, assault, criminal attempt to commit class one and class two felonies and use of explosives or incendiary devices during a article source: Boulder illegal immigrant terror suspect worked in healthcare field, as rideshare driver before attack

Boulder antisemitic terror attack spurs response from major cities: ‘We will not rest'
New York City Mayor Eric Adams led urban responses to the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend, with his office telling Fox News Digital the city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel is taking steps to protect its own holy sites and neighborhoods. "Another act of horrific, vile antisemitism and terrorism in our country, as an individual violently attacked a peaceful crowd in Boulder, Colorado, gathered to call for the release of the hostages still held in Gaza since Hamas' terror attacks on October 7, 2023," Adams said. "Out of abundance of caution, the NYPD is increasing resources at religious sites throughout our city ahead of the sacred holiday of Shavuot. We will not rest until we root out this unacceptable violence and rhetoric from our communities." When reached for comment on how the city's posture against antisemitic protests may change after the attack, an official told Fox News Digital that Adams has and will continue to protect New York's Jewish population. After Ukraine's Surprise Drone Assault On Russia, New Attention Drawn To Sensitive Sites Stateside Adams set up an Office to Combat Antisemitism – making the Big Apple the first major city to do so. Read On The Fox News App "This office will be a sledgehammer in this fight, taking on lawsuits and working tirelessly to root out antisemitism from our city," the official said. After the deadly attack on Jews in Washington, D.C., Adams called out "antisemitic propaganda masquerading as activism." He ordered the NYPD to deploy additional resources following that attack as well. In the District of Columbia, Mayor Muriel Bowser's office struck a similar tone when asked how that city's threat posture may change. Bowser's office directed Fox News Digital to prior remarks made after the Jewish Museum attack. "It is not up to the Jewish community to say support us, it is up to all of us to denounce antisemitism in all forms," Bowser said in part. On the other side of the country, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the Boulder attack "an atrocious affront to the very fabric of our society and our beliefs here in Los Angeles." Bass said she will be calling an emergency meeting at city hall focused on safety and security for the Shavuot holiday and the days after. In Miami Beach, which is home to an estimated 16,000 people of the Jewish faith among its 79,000 residents, Police Officer Christopher Bess told Fox News Digital there has been a focus on protecting residents ever since a March 2024 anti-Israel protest led city council to unanimously pass legislation prohibiting protesters from obstructing streets. Colorado Terror Attack Took Place At 'Run For Their Lives' Event Calling For Release Of All Hostages In Gaza Mayor Steven Meiner, who is Jewish, spearheaded that new law, and Bess said the police too have established an "extremely robust operational plan, as it relates to demonstrations – whether they're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian." "What we do is come up with the operational plans, and we increase and augment operational needs as necessary – and we have a specialized unit, the Rapid Intervention Team, that is specialized in [responding to] civil disturbances and protests." Instead of a macro approach, Miami Beach Police attack problem spots from a "methodical and strategic law enforcement avenue." Many such protests have been "uneventful" since then, Bess said, adding that the department tries to work with event organizers and the city's legal apparatus to respond in the most professional way they can. "If we see anyone that is escalating the situation, we take swift law enforcement action to make sure that one individual doesn't compromise the entire operation." "We do respect First Amendment rights; the right to peaceful assembly – emphasizing peaceful – and if someone deviates from that they will go to jail." After each protest that requires law enforcement response or preparation, there is debriefing to see what can be done better next time, Bess said. "After any incident around the country [including Boulder]," he said, "Intel detectives stay in touch with federal, state and local partners – and based on their intelligence, we're able to implement any plan that best fits our city." After the Washington attack, police increased patrols at religious facilities – with Bess citing the large Jewish population in Mid Beach – engaged in partnerships with rabbis and increased foot patrols there. "That should send a loud message that… we will not tolerate that [violence]." Bess added that the Miami Beach Police have employed drones as "eyes in the sky" because human officers cannot be everywhere at once. The city is considered very safe for its boisterous reputation, and Bess added that drones help with issues like antisemitic protests, as well as in response to simpler incidents on the city's famed Ocean article source: Boulder antisemitic terror attack spurs response from major cities: 'We will not rest'

Family of Boulder firebombing suspect taken into federal custody: sources
The family of the Boulder, Colorado firebombing suspect is in federal custody, sources confirm to Fox News. According to senior sources within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the wife and five children of 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman were taken into custody. "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," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in an X video post on Tuesday afternoon. "If they had any knowledge of it or if they provided any support to it." The family is being processed for expedited removal, sources said. Boulder Illegal Immigrant Terror Suspect's 'Possible Radicalization' Probed By Authorities: Retired Fbi Agent Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa after entering the U.S. during the Biden administration, three DHS and ICE sources told Fox News. Read On The Fox News App Soliman first arrived in the U.S. after landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Aug. 27, 2022, with a non-immigrant visa. He was authorized to stay through Feb. 2, 2023, but never left. On Sept. 9, 2022, he filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. On March 29, 2023, Soliman was granted work authorization, which was valid through March of this year. Victims and witnesses observed Soliman throw what appeared to be a glass bottle, which burst upon impact, creating large flames, towards a crowd of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder on Sunday, June 1, authorities said. Twelve individuals were injured in the attack. None of the victims have died. Now facing a litany of charges – including multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and possession of incendiary devices – Soliman is being held on a $10 million bond. Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty outlined the severe potential penalties facing Soliman if convicted on all charges related to the June 1 attack. He faces 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder – eight for attempted murder with intent and deliberation, and eight for attempted murder with extreme indifference. If convicted and the sentences are ordered to run consecutively, he could face a maximum of 384 years in state prison for those charges alone. In addition, Soliman is charged with two counts of use of an incendiary device, which could add up to 48 years if served consecutively. He also faces 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device, carrying a potential additional 192 years. In total, the maximum possible sentence could reach 624 years if all convictions are handed down and run consecutively. Along with charges on the state level, he has also been federally charged with a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion or national origin. His next court appearance, for filing charges, will be Thursday, June 5 at 3:30 p.m. article source: Family of Boulder firebombing suspect taken into federal custody: sources
