U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials took the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman into custody on Tuesday after the Egyptian national carried out a 'targeted terror attack' that left 12 individuals injured at a pro-Israel event in Boulder, Colorado. According to The Independent, the 45-year-old illegal immigrant injured 12 individuals on Sunday who were holding a demonstration to raise awareness for the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza. The outlet noted that Soliman used a 'makeshift flamethrower' and threw Molotov cocktails at the pro-Israel activists while shouting 'Free Palestine!' and End Zionist!' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel announced that Sunday's incident in Colorado was being investigated as a 'targeted terror attack.' In a video message shared on X, formerly Twitter, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Tuesday that ICE was taking the terror attack suspect's family into custody. 'Today, @DHSgov and @ICEGov are taking the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody,' Noem tweeted.

I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and for all of their families. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to all of them, and I want them to know that justice will be served.' Today, @DHSgov and @ICEGov are taking the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody. This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this… — Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) June 3, 2025 The New York Post cited sources on Tuesday who claimed that Soliman's family's visa status was revoked and that the family was in custody at a Dilley detention facility located in southern Texas. The sources claimed that federal law enforcement officials plan to use expedited removal to deport the terror attack's family. Tuesday's ICE arrests come just one day after Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a warning to terrorists, terrorist families, and terrorist sympathizers in the United States. The secretary of state warned, 'In light of yesterday's horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump Administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you.'

Colorado attack: Mohamed Sabry Soliman seen burned and bandaged in first mugshot after attack; see Boulder Police's post
The Boulder Police Department has released a mugshot of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the man who allegedly carried out a shocking attack on a group of people in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday afternoon, June 1. Eight people were hospitalized with burns after the 45-year-old tossed Molotov cocktails at a group that had gathered in support of Israeli hostages. The newly-released mugshot showsSoliman with a burned and bandaged face. Sharing the mugshot on X, police confirmed that 'no victims have died.' They also noted, 'The suspect's mugshot is seen here and his date of birth is Dec. 15, 1979.' Netizens took to the comment section to react to the incident, with many raising various questions. 'How long did it take from the first 911 call to the officers on scene? Why aren't officers patrolling Pearl street constantly?' one user asked. 'Quick question — what time does @RealTomHoman's @DHSgov team pick this guy up? Boulder deserves better than silence and virtue signals after a terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators — and a catch-and-release culture that's become the norm under our DA,' another wrote. One said, 'I'm just waiting for the "he was on our radar" statement to come out.' 'Any idea of a motive yet?' one user questioned, while another said, 'If only the citizens of Boulder had a way to protect themselves.' One said, 'If you try to claim that the motive is elusive, you should be thrown into jail.' Another wrote, 'Unreal'. Authorities have confirmed that Soliman was in the United States illegallyafter overstaying his visa. Homeland Security officials told Fox News that he originally entered the US through Los Angeles International Airport on August 27, 2022. Soliman was reportedly also injured in the attack, and was brought to a nearby hospital to be examined.

‘Project Homecoming' launches first flight of 64 illegal immigrants accepting $1,000 to self-deport
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conducted its first self-deport operation, dubbed 'Project Homecoming,' with a charter flight on Monday from Texas, and made stops in Honduras and Colombia, taking 64 illegal immigrants who chose to self-deport back to their home countries. DHS said in a post on X that all participants who chose to leave the U.S. were offered the same benefits as any illegal alien who self-deports using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home App. 'They received travel assistance, a $1,000 stipend, and preserved the possibility they could one day return to the United States legally,' DHS said. Advertisement 5 The first flight carrying migrants who voluntarily opted to return to their home countries departed from Houston, Texas, on May 19. @DHSgov/X 5 A woman is seen getting on a flight to self-deport. @DHSgov/X DHS also shared a video of the events leading up to the first flight, showing families preparing to leave Houston, where they were greeted and offered food, games and stuffed animals for their children. Advertisement Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the first ever self-deportation program which incentivizes illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the U.S. on a free flight and with a cash bonus. 'Project Homecoming' authorizes government-funded flights and offers money to illegal immigrants who are willing to self-deport. 5 People are seen getting their luggage for the flight. @DHSgov/X When Trump announced the signing of the order in a post on Truth Social, he said the program would end up saving taxpayers 'billions and billions' of dollars. Advertisement 'We are making it as easy as possible for illegal aliens to leave America. Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country,' Trump said. 'Illegals can book a free flight to any foreign country as long as it's not here. You can go anywhere you want.' DHS said days before the executive order was signed that migrants would be offered a $1,000 stipend each to leave. The department said this will be 70% cheaper for American taxpayers, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone. 5 A total of64 people were on board the flight. @DHSgov/X 'This deportation bonus will save American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars,' Trump said. Advertisement Illegal immigrants are encouraged to use the CBP One app to arrange their deportations. The same app under the Biden administration was used to expedite migrants from scheduling appointments at official ports of entry before they were paroled into the U.S., which was discontinued on the first day of Trump's second term. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shared a post about the first 'Project Homecoming' flight on X, advising those in the country to take advantage of the program. 5 The plane left from Houston, Texas, on May 19, 2025. @DHSgov/X 'If you are here illegally, use the CBP Home App to take control of your departure and receive financial support to return home,' Noem wrote. 'If you don't, you will be subjected to fines, arrest, deportation and will never be allowed to return. If you are in this country illegally, self-deport NOW and preserve your opportunity to potentially return the legal, right way.' Fox News Digital's Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.
