Boulder attack suspect's family will be deported back to Egypt this week: US Official
DENVER (KDVR) — The family of the suspect in Sunday's attack of Israeli hostage supporters in Boulder will be deported back to Egypt this week, according to a federal official. Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas who serves as chairman emeritus for the House committees on Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs, confirmed to Nexstar Washington Correspondent Vinay Simlot in a Wednesday interview that Mohamed Sabry Soliman's family, including his wife and five children, is being processed for deportation. Boulder Terror Attack: Continuing coverage Soliman, an Egyptian national officials say is illegally in the U.S. due to an expired visa, is accused both federally and in state charges of attacking with Molotov cocktails a group from Run for Their Lives as they were peacefully demonstrating while calling for the release of Israeli hostage in Gaza. Boulder County officials say 15 people were injured in the attack. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem on Tuesday confirmed federal agencies had taken Soliman's family into custody in a post on X. The department is investigating whether any of them knew of Soliman's plans, Noem said in the post. 'They're being processed right now,' McCaul said Wednesday morning. 'They will be deported back to Egypt.' When Simlot asked whether it would happen this week, McCaul said, 'yeah.' The White house official X account on Tuesday saying, 'Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon,' and that his family could have been deported as soon as that night. McCaul said he was briefed by the FBI on Tuesday about the attack, reaffirming Soliman's status of overstaying a tourist visa. What to know as investigation builds in Boulder's Pearl Street Mall attack A senior Department of Homeland Security official had already confirmed to FOX31 that Soliman is in the U.S. illegally because he stayed in the country after his August 2022 B2 visa expired in February 2023. DHS said he filed for asylum in September 2022. 'That raises the whole immigration debate again about people who should be here versus shouldn't be,' McCaul said. 'He shouldn't have been here. He overstayed his visa and shouldn't have been allowed to stay in the country.' U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in a press release on Wednesday morning said Noem is directed a crackdown on others who overstay visas following Soliman's alleged attack. 'There is NO room in the United States for the rest of the world's terrorist sympathizers,' Noem said in the press release. 'Anyone who thinks they can come to America and advocate for antisemitic violence and terrorism – think again. You are not welcome here. We will find you, deport you, and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Colorado joins states supporting law against conversion therapy for minors
DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado on Wednesday joined a multistate coalition in a court brief defending a Michigan law prohibiting licensed health professionals from practicing conversion therapy on minors. Conversion therapy, also known as sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts, has been widely discredited as harmful and ineffective by leading health organizations, according to the Colorado Attorney General's Office. 'So-called conversion therapy is an inhumane and abusive practice overwhelmingly shown to harm young people,' said Attorney General Phil Weiser, in a statement. 'We won't tolerate it': Immigration lawyer, AG Weiser weigh in on Boulder attack A group of Catholic therapists filed a federal lawsuit against the Michigan law last July, arguing the ban is a violation of the First Amendment. The lawsuit is currently in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Colorado, meanwhile, joined 18 other states and the District of Columbia in filing the brief in support of the Michigan law, arguing conversion therapy is 'not only ineffective and unsafe,' but also leads to increased risks of suicide, depression and other 'serious mental health issues.' 2 arrested after shooting near Coors Field on Monday night 'We have a compelling interest in protecting children from this dangerous pseudoscience. Colorado stands firmly with Michigan in protecting professional standards of care to prioritize the well-being of our youth,' Weiser said. Colorado is currently one of 25 states that ban or restrict conversion therapy, according to the attorney general's office, which argues the Michigan ban is 'consistent with states' long history of establishing and regulating professional standards of care.'

Man sent chemicals to suspect in California fertility clinic bombing: FBI
The FBI have arrested a man at New York's John F Kennedy airport on Tuesday night in connection with last month's car bombing outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Authorities said Daniel Park, 32, from Kent, Washington, sent 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate - an ingredient used in homemade bombs - to Guy Edward Bartkus. Mr Park was scheduled to appear in Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday, after which it is expected he will be sent to Los Angeles. Authorities say Bartkus detonated an explosion on 17 May outside the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic. Four people were injured and Bartkus, 25, was killed in the blast. Bartkus left behind writings that suggest he disapproved of people being brought into the world against their will and advocated for the end of childbirth and the eventual extinction of humans. The FBI has called the blast an "intentional act of terrorism" and said the fertility clinic was deliberately targeted. Bartkus was a resident of Twentynine Palms, a small city about 150 miles (240km) east of Los Angeles. Authorities said Bartkus loaded his 2010 silver Ford Fusion sedan with explosives before driving an hour from Twentynine Palms to Palm Springs. The blast was felt more than a mile away. At a news conference on Wednesday, US Attorney Bill Essayli said Mr Park and Bartkus spent time together conducting experiments in Bartkus' garage. Several days after the explosion, Mr Park travelled to Denmark and then onto Poland, but was detained by Polish authorities and sent back to the US, where he was arrested. Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said that Mr Park "was in possession of an explosive recipe that was similar to the Oklahoma City bombing." Investigators say the pair discussed plans online and were part of a movement sometimes called anti-natalism, also known as efilism. Mr Davis referred to the site of the fertility clinic as "the largest bombing scene" the FBI had seen in southern California in recent memory. Several buildings were damaged in the blast, including the fertility clinic with images showing a portion of its wall destroyed. According to its website, the ARC clinic is the first full-service fertility centre and IVF lab in the Coachella Valley. It offers services including fertility evaluations, IVF, egg donation and freezing, reproductive support for same-sex couples and surrogacy.
