Boulder terror attack puts Biden-era immigration policies in the hot seat: 'Must be fully reversed'

Yahoo2 days ago

The Boulder, Colorado, terror attack suspect's immigration history underscores national security concerns about immigration policies throughout the Biden administration.
Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, fired off on X about the terrorist attack.
"A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien. He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed," Miller posted.
Boulder, Colorado Suspected Terror Attack Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman Faces Murder, Assault, Other Charges
Multiple Department of Homeland Security sources confirmed to Fox News on Sunday night that the suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, originated from Egypt and came to the United States through Los Angeles International Airport in August 2022 on a tourism visa that was good through Feb. 2023 but overstayed it.
He filed an asylum claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in September 2022, and he was given a work permit that lasted from March 2023 to March 2025 – meaning he was given the permit after his visa was overstayed in 2023 and then stayed past that work authorization this year.

The antisemitic terrorist attack resulted in eight injuries after the suspect allegedly set people on fire as they peacefully rallied on behalf of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was heard yelling "Free Palestine" and other criticisms of Israel during the attack.

Leo Terrell, Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, said on X that one of the victims is a Holocaust survivor.
"She endured the worst evil in human history. She came to America seeking safety. And now, decades later, she's victimized again by a terrorist screaming 'Free Palestine,'" Terrell wrote.

In the halls of Congress, the attack raised newfound urgency on the reconciliation bill, which is meant to codify many aspects of the Trump administration's immigration policies.
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., posted on X, "Voters gave Donald Trump a mandate for mass deportation of illegals like this one but Democrats & courts are blocking every step of the way. 'Big Beautiful Bill' has $14B for mass deportation efforts & $50B to build the wall + secure our border. Can't pass soon enough!"
Mohamed Sabry Soliman: What We Know About Illegal Immigrant Accused In Colorado Terror Attack
Critics of Biden-era immigration policies have long sounded the alarm on the crime risks stemming from a high flow of migrants and a strain on immigration enforcement at the southern border and beyond.
However, there have also been terror concerns highlighted in the recent past by non-political officials. Although the Boulder suspect did not come through the southern border, Arizona port officials warned in Sept. 2023 that a lack of proper immigration enforcement at ports could lead to a heightened terror risk, The Center Square reported at the time.
Fox News Digital reported in Oct. 2024 that the 1.7 million migrants could potentially be a national security risk, according to a House Judiciary Committee report.

Baraka v. Habba

Presented by Good Wednesday morning! It's a week before the primary, and Newark mayor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka isn't ready to let those headlines about his arrest at an ICE facility fade. On Tuesday, he filed a lawsuit against Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba and Ricky Patel, the special agent in charge at homeland security investigations in Newark. Is it a publicity stunt or a legitimate lawsuit? Why not both? It might be tough to overcome Habba's prosecutorial immunity, but the details that came out about the arrest shortly after were pretty damning for Habba, as demonstrated by Magistrate Judge André Espinosa's dressing down of her office when it dropped the charges. Espinosa's speech, in which he reminded Habba's office that its role 'is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, not to advance political agendas,' is quoted in full in the lawsuit. So are Habba's comments made on Fox News about the arrest, some of which are contradicted by video evidence, including Baraka being allowed within Delaney Hall's gated area and leaving after being told to. So is Habba's pledge to 'turn New Jersey red.' The suit alleges false arrest, malicious prosecution and defamation. Habba tried to head off the lawsuit by breaking the news herself Tuesday night. 'My advice to the mayor — feel free to join me in prioritizing violent crime and public safety,' she wrote on Twitter. 'Far better use of time for the great citizens of New Jersey.' Lawsuit aside, it's obvious that this arrest never should have happened. That's not my opinion. The facts are plain. What's not established, but could through discovery if the lawsuit proceeds, is whether there's evidence it was done for political purposes, as Baraka claims. Read more about it here FEEDBACK?

U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi said in a Tuesday court filing that 'the amendments likely do not remove the unconstitutional practices alleged.' He did not make any decisions on the new law, which shifted New Jersey's primary ballots to an office block ballot design based on his ruling last year. He also invited the plaintiffs to amend their complaint to address the state's new ballot design law. 'He didn't make any rulings that any particular aspect of the new law was unconstitutional,' attorney Brett Pugach, who represents the plaintiffs in the case, said in a phone interview. 'But he seemed to acknowledge that there may be features of the new law that retain unconstitutional aspects of the prior county line system.' — Judge dismisses Camden County Democrats from county line lawsuit, by POLITICO's Matt Friedman: A judge has dismissed the Camden County Democratic Committee's defense of the county line in a federal lawsuit, ruling the party doesn't have standing to continue.

The Camden County Democrats were the last party arguing that there is a constitutional right to to use the 'county line.' TRUST FAIL — Immigrant Trust Act stalls as senators say AG advised against it, by POLITICO's Daniel Han: Senate President Nick Scutari does not plan to advance high-profile immigration legislation, citing concerns that doing so could undermine the state's existing pro-immigrant protections. Scutari said his concerns stem from a similar sentiment from state Attorney General Matt Platkin. Another state senator confirmed to POLITICO that Platkin has expressed concerns that passing the Immigrant Trust Act. … could open the state to litigation that could undermine New Jersey's existing practice that limits state and local cops from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. … When asked whether he would advance the bill, Scutari said 'no.' 'I think you should ask the attorney general his position on it,' Scutari told POLITICO when asked why he would not advance the legislation. 'His position is that he has a directive that's stood up to judicial scrutiny. Anything that we can do is probably [going to] mess that up.'

Agency CEO Kris Kolluri said his team is working hard and preparing to ensure that riders have a smoother experience going forward. 'That is the plan,' he said. 'We not only have to worry about our regular commuting service, we also have to focus on those very big special events where a mass transit system has to work.'' MURPHY IS GOING TO NEED IT IN 7 MONTHS — 'Governor says cuts to federal funding for upgrading unemployment systems 'undermine' workers,' by New Jersey Monitor's Sophie Nieto Munoz: 'Gov. Phil Murphy criticized the federal government for terminating programs aimed at modernizing the unemployment insurance system, which suffered under the stress of hundreds of thousands of claimants applying for jobless benefits at the height of the pandemic. 'At a time of increased uncertainty about the U.S. economy, the last thing the federal government should be doing is taking away resources from states' unemployment insurance systems,' Murphy said in a statement Monday. … The Trump administration is terminating $400 million in funds for states across the country to modernize their unemployment systems, money that was authorized in the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act passed under the Biden administration. … New Jersey received nearly $25 million for its upgrades. The grant money was expected to be accessible for tech upgrades through 2028.' MISSING REPORTS — While most super PACs backing candidates for governor filed 11-day preelection reports Friday with the Election Law Enforcement Commission, a couple were notably absent: One backing Democrat Ras Baraka and one backing Republican Bill Spadea. The pro-Baraka super PAC, One New Jersey United, had nearly $500,000 in the bank when it last disclosed with the Federal Election Commission in April. But had it filed an 11-day preelection report with ELEC, it would have shown what it's raised and spent up to May 27. The pro-Spadea PAC, Legacy of Liberty, is more opaque. It registered with ELEC earlier this year but did not file an 11-day report. The super PAC was best known for arranging and then aborting a fundraiser featuring Lara Trump, who backed out because of rules prohibiting Fox News hosts from such events. It announced two ads, but it's not clear whether they aired. ELEC only requires independent expenditure groups to publicly disclose if they've spent at least $7,500 on electioneering within 30 days of the primary. It's possible that Legacy of Liberty did not. But One New Jersey United spent at least $15,000 on online ads as of mid-May, according to AdImpact.

FERC's permission for Transco, which is owned by Oklahoma-based Williams which handles roughly more than a third of the nation's natural gas, to undertake the project lapsed about a year ago after both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation denied the necessary Transco has asked FERC to reauthorize the project by Aug. 29 so the company can begin construction by the end of the year.

While Provident Bank said it will continue to provide low-cost mortgages to underserved communities, the motion by the U.S. Justice Department to abandon the settlement has drawn the ire of community advocates and legal experts, who say it would make it easier for banks to engage in redlining.

SMITH STAYS IN WASHINGTON — 'As the Medicaid debate rages, can NJ Republicans answer these questions?' by The Record's Charles Stile: 'Two New Jersey Republican congressmen quelled a rebellion last month in Ocean County — the heart of Trump Country in New Jersey — over looming steep cuts to Medicaid. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-Cape May, and Rep. Chris Smith, R-Monmouth, spoke to several members of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners who were drafting a resolution opposing cuts to the popular and lifesaving health coverage program for working-class and poor Americans … the Ocean County commissioners are now poised to do an about-face after being assuaged by Van Drew and Smith that the 'Big Beautiful' takes aim only at the undeserving who milk the system with 'waste, fraud and abuse.' Undocumented migrants who rely on Medicaid will also see their benefits cut … But as the bill now moves to the Senate, the nagging, unanswered doubts about the legislation and those talking-point claims of relatively pain-free Medicaid cuts need to be publicly addressed by New Jersey Republicans in the congressional delegation. Perhaps instead of sending out carefully scrubbed statements and talking privately to political allies eager for reassurance, it's now time — possibly in a town hall setting — for Van Drew, Smith and maybe Rep. Thomas H. Kean Jr. to answer some of those questions.

Judge Robert M. LePore, who serves part-time in Point Pleasant Beach, was formally disciplined for publicly supporting law enforcement, political candidates, and local businesses on social media—behavior the New Jersey Supreme Court said undermined the appearance of impartiality expected from the bench. … LePore 'liked' a Facebook group that criticized New Jersey's bail reform laws, a system he helps enforce, and he maintained visible ties to local attorneys, realtors, and political candidates on the platform.'

'It's still too early to tell,' said Neil Young, the township's chief financial officer. … A benefit for towns allowing cannabis sales is a provision allowing them to charge a 2% tax on local sales, which can offset local taxes. West Cape May took in more than $200,000 from cannabis taxes last year, according to that community's budget document, while Egg Harbor Township made more than a half million dollars from weed sales in 2024. Atlantic City, which has sought to position itself as the cannabis capital of the East, did not do as well, according to numbers released by the city. In 2023, the first year for legal cannabis sales in Atlantic City, the city took in $88,704 from cannabis taxes, according to numbers provided by city spokesman Andrew Kramer.

Four key reasons for the downfall of Trump and Musk's presidential bromance

President Donald Trump's 'bromance' with Elon Musk appears to be heading for a breakup after the latter savagely attacked the president's 'big, beautiful bill' on Tuesday as the legislation faces an uncertain future in the Senate. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,' the world's richest man wrote on X. 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' The outburst came days after Musk left his role as a special adviser to Trump. These tumultuous four months saw him spearhead the Department of Government Efficiency, which is tasked with cutting waste, excess, and fraud from federal expenditure and has overseen the mass firing of tens of thousands of officials, bureaucrats, and staffers. The 'First Buddy' first came out in support of the Republican during last year's presidential election and donated more than $288m to the MAGA cause. But the endorsement has taken a brutal toll on Musk's businesses, especially Tesla, which suffered a 71 percent decline in its first-quarter profits and has borne the brunt of much of the public backlash. Despite the signs of discord, Musk and Trump 'remain friends and allies,' according to one White House source cited by Axios. However, another alleges that Musk feels 'butthurt' over how his time in the administration ended. According to the report, there are multiple reasons for the growing distance between Trump and Musk. 1. EV tax credit cut Trump's signature bill eliminates an important consumer tax credit for EV owners, worth up to $7,500, which Tesla reportedly spent $240,000 lobbying to maintain as of late April. Musk reportedly pleaded with Trump for its retention behind the scenes. Still, it was ultimately unsuccessful, a frustration that lingered despite the president turning the White House lawn into a Tesla dealership in March to help promote Musk's cars after vandals targeted his showrooms. 2. Musk wanted to stay on Axios reports that the billionaire actually wanted to stay on in his role as a 'special government employee' beyond its statutory limit of 130 days, despite numerous reported blowups with members of Trump's cabinet in private. Ultimately, however, an extension deal could not be reached with the president's team. 3. Billionaire wanted air traffic controllers to use Starlink Another reported disagreement concerned Musk's appeal to the Federal Aviation Administration to begin using his Starlink satellite technology. This demand was rejected due to both conflict-of-interest concerns and technological reasons. 'You can't have air traffic control just run off satellites,' a source told Axios. Musk's presence in the West Wing sparked several other conflict-of-interest concerns, the most recent of which saw 42 Democrats write to the Pentagon's inspector general to sound the alarm over SpaceX's potential involvement in Trump's Golden Dome anti-missile defense system. 4. Trump's removal of Jared Isaacman as his nominee to be NASA's next administrator Among the billionaire's alleged enemies in the White House was Sergio Gor, director of the Office of Presidential Personnel, with whom he is said to have clashed. When Trump abruptly decided over the weekend to withdraw the nomination of Musk ally Jared Isaacman to be NASA's next administrator, rumors quickly spread that Gor was behind the decision and intended it as an 'out-the-door 'f*** you' to Musk.' That claim has been disputed, however, with complaints from Republican senators about Isaacman's track record as a Democratic donor also given as a reason for the decision. 'Perception is reality, though, and I'm pretty sure Elon thought the NASA situation was a last insult,' an official told Axios. 'So here we are.' Elsewhere, Trump's former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, a bitter enemy of Musk, has suggested that the first schism in their relationship came in March when the president refused to show the billionaire the Pentagon's attack plans for a hypothetical war with China. Speaking to The Atlantic last month, Bannon said of that moment: 'You could feel it. Everything changed. The fever had been broken.'

Emergency abortion guidance changes

Emergency abortion guidance changes Good morning!🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. Snack Wraps are SO BACK! Dive into Wednesday's news: Guidance allowing medical providers to stabilize pregnant women in states with restrictive abortion bans has changed. Elon Musk expressed contempt for President Donald Trump's signature policy and tax bill. You may be sitting on a lot of valuable pennies. Trump administration to establish its own position on emergency care The Trump administration has rescinded a Biden administration policy informing hospitals and doctors that they can provide emergency abortions to stabilize pregnant people, even in states restricting abortions. The background: In 2022, the Biden administration issued a letter informing hospitals and doctors that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, or EMTALA, protects "your clinical judgment and the action that you take to provide stabilizing medical treatment to your pregnant patients" — even in states that restricted abortion access. What is "emergency care "? This could mean abortion, removal of fallopian tubes or treatments for high blood pressure. "? This could mean abortion, removal of fallopian tubes or treatments for high blood pressure. Now, this 2022 letter has been rescinded. The Trump administration said Biden's guidance and communications on emergency abortions "do not reflect the policy of this administration." The Trump administration said Biden's guidance and communications on emergency abortions "do not reflect the policy of this administration." What does this mean for your pregnancy?

More news to know now What's the weather today? Check your local forecast here. Boulder suspect's daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation. Habiba Soliman moved to the United States with a dream of studying medicine to transform lives. Then her father was charged with attempting to take them in connection with a fiery assault on pro-Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado. Now, Soliman, daughter of Boulder attack suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, faces deportation along with the rest of her family. The family, originally from Egypt, moved to the U.S. from Kuwait. Habiba Soliman recently graduated from high school, but her aspirations were upended when her 45-year-old father was charged with a federal hate crime and 16 counts of attempted murder related to the attack that left a dozen people burned, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor. Two remain hospitalized. Prior to the attack, Habiba Soliman had written about her hope of accomplishing great things in the U.S. An escaped New Orleans inmate apparently posted on Instagram On May 16, a group of 10 inmates escaped the Orleans Parish jail through a hole behind a toilet, officials said. Law enforcement has since captured eight of the men, leaving only Antoine Massey, 32, and Derrick Groves, 27, on the run. Authorities searching for the two inmates may have just gotten their biggest break yet: A video apparently posted to social media by one of the fugitives. The video posted to Instagram on June 1 shows a man who identifies himself as Massey. He proclaimed his innocence and solicited help from notable names – including President Trump and rapper Meek Mill – and said he fled to avoid being charged for a crime he did not commit. Today's talkers What should you do with the pennies in your coin jar? President Trump has ordered the Treasury to stop minting pennies because their production cost exceeds their value. Many Americans regard pennies (and nickels) as more nuisance than currency. The typical household is sitting on $60 to $90 in neglected coins, enough to fill one or two pint-size beer mugs, according to the Federal Reserve. Americans throw away millions of dollars in coins every year, literally treating them like trash. Most of us don't realize how much our coins are worth. So, a trip to a coin-exchange kiosk (or a bank, or credit union) can yield a pleasant surprise. Photo of the day: No Sooners in the WCWS championship series? For the third time in four years, Texas has made it to the Women's College World Series championship series. The best-of-three series against Texas Tech will begin on Wednesday night and continue through Friday, if necessary. For the first time since 2018, the finals won't include the Oklahoma Sooners.
