In a June 4 post on X, the White House shared a couple of photos of Soliman, with text on them reading, 'Wife and Kids of Illegal Alien Behind Antisemitic Firebombing Could Be Deported by Tonight'. The post is captioned, 'Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon.' Solimanhas been charged with attempted murder, assault and possession of an incendiary device after the brutal attack. "We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it," US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem previously on X. In a previous post, the White House announced, "The wife and five children of illegal alien Mohamed Soliman - the suspect in the antisemitic firebombing of Jewish Americans- have been captured and are now in ICE custody for expedited removal."

'He came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under 'TRUMP' Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!'

Anti-American sentiment from tariffs is NOT having a major impact on Utah tourism: Utah Office of Tourism
SALT LAKE CITY () — Despite national decreases in international tourism, many Utah businesses saw a successful Memorial Day weekend. Managing Director for the Utah Office of Tourism Natalie Randall told ABC4, 'In the state of Utah, we know that international visitation is a critical piece to our visitor economy.' Randall reported that about 7% of the total visitor direct spending comes from international visitation, and about 40% of that comes from Canadian visitors. 'As you're talking through tariffs, as you're thinking about the Canadian sentiment that's coming in, we're seeing at the national level, there's been this reduction in visitation to the U.S., and at Utah, we know that we're not immune to seeing those changes as well, and so for us it's a priority to remain proactive in the space and continue to engage with the Canadian visitor and let them know that this is a place that they can be inspired to visit.' Natalie Randall, Managing Director for the Utah Office of Tourism However, Randall also told that there was not a large negative impact on tourism over Memorial Day weekend. Upcoming Ogden car show to raise funds for program that helps at-risk youth 'Many of our businesses were able to experience successful weekends, full bookings, and many of them were able to find ways to backfill from what you might anticipate with the international visitation perhaps lagging slightly,' she said. Randall said that there are many reasons to remain optimistic, including West Jet recently investing in a direct flight from Salt Lake City to Edmonton, Canada. In a recent survey of Canadian travelers conducted by Love Communications, 63% of respondents would still consider visiting the U.S. in the next 36 months, with 42% saying 'yes' and 21% saying 'maybe.' In that survey, the most influential factors in interest in visiting the U.S. was natural scenery and iconic landmarks or historical sites, which might offer one explanation as to why international visitation to Utah has not suffered greatly, as Utah is rich in natural scenery and iconic landmarks.

Trump Tries to Blame Biden for Colorado Attack
Following a horrific attack against Boulder, Colorado, protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas, President Donald Trump is blaming the alleged act of terrorism on the immigration policies of the Biden administration. 'Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. The president added that the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 'came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under 'TRUMP' Policy.'' 'Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law,' the president added. 'This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado.' Vice President J.D. Vance shared Trump's response to the attack. The Department of Homeland Security has said that Soliman — an Egyptian citizen — was in the United States unlawfully, but he did not cross the border without documentation. According to DHS, Soliman overstayed a tourist visa that expired in 2023. He applied for asylum status in September 2022, the year before his visa expired, and was granted a work authorization in 2023. DHS did not specify the outcome of Soliman's asylum application. Soliman, who injured eight protesters using molotov cocktails and improvised incendiary weapons while yelling 'Free Palestine,' has already been indicted on federal hate crimes charges. Additional charges of first-degree murder (no fatalities have been confirmed by law enforcement,) assault, and weapons crimes have also been filed, and the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. While Soliman originally entered the country legally, his immigration status has become a focal point for the White House. On Monday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote on X that 'a terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien,' who '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 added. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Monday that the Biden administration 'foolishly gave [Soliman] a tourist visa and allowed him to unlawfully remain in our country. This individual should have been deported. Instead he was welcomed here.' Leavitt suggested to Fox News that the attack took place because the Biden administration 'had no vetting process' for immigrants. 'The Biden administration was allowing illegal aliens from all over the world to come into our country illegally, unvented, untested,' she added. As of Monday, DHS and other law enforcement agencies have not produced information indicating that Soliman had a criminal record. Some B2 visas can last for years, and it's unclear precisely when and under what administration Soliman's visa was issued. The Trump administration regularly attempts to deflect blame for the president's own stumbles — or reframe major news stories — onto the Biden administration. In recent months, Trump has claimed that economic uncertainty over his misguided tariff policy is the fault of his predecessor, as is Russia's war against Ukraine, as is every other stumble and sticking point in his presidency. In this case, Trump is using misinformation about a horrific attack and the specter of Biden-era immigration policies to further demonize immigrant communities, and continue his crackdown on not just undocumented, but lawful immigration practices as well.

Trump says Boulder terror attack 'will not be tolerated,' deportations must continue
President Donald Trump reacted on Monday for the first time since an Egyptian national allegedly threw Molotov cocktails into a crowd of pro-Israel protesters in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people. "Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "He came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under "TRUMP" Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland." "My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!" Trump added. Boulder, Colorado Suspected Terror Attack Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman Faces Hate Crime, Murder Charges An FBI affidavit unsealed on Monday brings hate crime charges against the alleged attacker, Mohammed Soliman, who is accused of shouting "Free Palestine" while throwing improvised incendiary devices that ignited in a crowd of peaceful protesters walking in support of the Israeli hostages who remain held by Hamas. Eight people were burned by the blasts. Law enforcement found 14 unlit Molotov cocktails on the scene, according to the affidavit. Soliman, who overstayed his tourist visa to be in the United States, allegedly told investigators that "he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead," the affidavit says. Read On The Fox News App The suspect also allegedly "stated he would do it (conduct an attack) again," the affidavit says. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday that Trump is committed to protecting Jewish Americans. "We have seen two horrific cases of antisemitic violence in our country in the last two weeks, and it is unacceptable to this president and this White House," Leavitt said. "And rest assured, to all Jewish Americans across our great country, this president has your back, and he's not going to allow anyone to take part in violent terrorism. It's acts of terrorism in our country. And that's what this case in Boulder, Colorado, is being investigated as." "Kudos to our FBI director, Kash Patel, for immediately calling this a targeted terrorist attack. That's clearly what it was," she added. The affidavit says Soliman told investigators he targeted what he described as the "Zionist Group" after learning they gathered for weekly walks in Boulder through an online search and planned the attack for a year. He allegedly said he was "waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack." He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children, according to the affidavit. The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday it is revamping its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tip line in the wake of the Boulder attack. "For four years, the Biden Administration allowed millions of unvetted illegal aliens—including terrorists, gang members, and other violent criminals—to pour into our country. Yesterday's terrorist attack by a suspect illegally in our country, underscores the importance of getting these illegal aliens out of our country," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem "is revamping ICE's illegal alien tip line to devote more resources and personnel to help remove these criminal illegal aliens from our country," McLaughlin said. "To report suspicious criminal activity, call 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423)— help President Trump, Secretary Noem and our brave law enforcement remove these public safety threats from our communities and to make America safe again."
