Colorado terror attack accused Mohamed Sabry Soliman's wife, 5 children taken into ICE custody, will be removed from US
Wife and the five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the 45-year-old Egyptian national, who firebombed a Jewish gathering in Colorado, were taken into ICE custody for their speedy removal from the country. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Soliman entered the US during the Biden administration and overstayed his visa, the Trump administration said. He told the investigators that he wanted to kill all Zionists and would do again. He planned the attack on the Jewish group that assembled every Sunday demanding the release of the Israelis in Gaza, but waited for her daughter's graduation. According to records, Soliman was authorized to stay through February 2, 2023 but he never left. On September 9, 2022, he filed a claim with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. On March 29, 2023, he was granted work authorization which was valid through March this year. What we know about Soliman's family Soliman's daughter for whose graduation the anti-Semitic attack did not take place earlier, as Soliman claimed, graduated from Thomas Maclaren State Charter School in Colorado Springs. According to reports, she came to the US with her father two years ago and is also probably an illegal alien. Trump-aide Laura Loomer said that a Colorado newspaper did a profile piece on his daughter, Habiba Soliman, for attending the school in hijab. According to the article, she described in her scholarship application how her family had immigrated to the US after living in Kuwait, noting that her father had undergone a 'difficult surgery' when she was young 'that restored his ability to walk.' The girl said the incident inspired her to pursue medical school – a dream that would have been impossible in Kuwait but within reach in America. Police said after Soliman's arrest, his family members cooperated with the investigation. They were not privy to Soliman's plan.

Harvard seeks end to US funding cuts, says national security, public health research in peril
Wilmington, Delaware -Harvard University asked a federal judge on Monday to issue a summary judgment ruling to unfreeze $2.5 billion in funding blocked by President Donald Trump's administration, which Harvard said was illegal. Harvard's filing in the U.S. District Court in Boston said that it had received 957 orders since April 14 to freeze funding for research pertaining to national security threats, cancer and infectious diseases and more since the country's oldest and wealthiest school rejected a White House list of demands. Trump has said he is trying to force change at Harvard - and other top-level universities across the U.S. - because in his view they have been captured by leftist "woke" thought and become bastions of antisemitism. The Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs has set arguments for July 21 on Harvard's motion for summary judgment, which is a request for a judge to decide a dispute without a trial to determine material facts. Harvard sued the Trump administration in April, alleging the funding freeze violated the school's right to free speech and was arbitrary and capricious. In Monday's court filing, Harvard detailed the terminated grants, including $88 million for research into pediatric HIV, $12 million for increasing Defense Department awareness of emerging biological threats and $8 million to better understand dark energy. The school said ending the funding would destroy ongoing research into cancer treatments, infectious disease and Parkinson's. The Trump administration has opened numerous investigations into Harvard. Some are looking at threats against Jewish students and faculty after pro-Palestinian protests broke out following the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and subsequent Israeli military actions in Gaza. Other investigations are probing whether Harvard discriminates based on sex and gender, along with the school's ties to foreign governments and international students. The Trump administration revoked Harvard's ability to enroll international students last month, which a judge temporarily blocked after Harvard sued in a separate case. Harvard and other universities say Trump's attacks are threats to freedom of speech and freedom of academics, as well as threats to the schools' very existence.
