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."

CNN's conservative Scott Jennings calls Free Palestine movement ‘domestic terror organization'
Scott Jennings, a conservative political commentator, called the Free Palestine movement 'nothing more than a domestic terror organization' on Monday, saying it needs to be dealt with. His comment arose from a conversation about the recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, on a group of people raising awareness for Israeli hostages in Gaza. Federal law enforcement officials said the suspect in the attack, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, told them he specifically targeted the 'Zionist group.' 'This is horrific,' Jennings told CNN's Jake Tapper on The Lead. 'What more do we need to see, Jake, before we realize this 'Free Palestine' movement is nothing more than a domestic terror organization right now?' The suspect allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used a 'makeshift flamethrower' on the group of people and yelled 'Free Palestine!' At least 12 people were injured in the attack that the FBI is calling a hate crime. Jennings cited Sunday's attack, as well as the recent murder of Israeli embassy workers in Washington, D.C. and college campus protests, as examples of the Free Palestine movement's 'domestic terror' behavior. 'I think as a society, we need to understand we're dealing with domestic terrorism, it's growing more violent by the day and if we don't deal with it, these kinds of things are going to keep happening in cities all over the place,' Jennings said. Jennings worked in former president George W. Bush's administration as a special assistant and deputy of political affairs. Officials across the country have raised concerns about antisemitic-motivated attacks rising due to political disputes stemming from the Israel–Hamas war. President Donald Trump has promised to crack down on college protests that he believes are antisemitic, and accused college campuses of being hotbeds of antisemitism. Trump also blamed former President Joe Biden's 'ridiculous Open Border Policy' for the attack in a Truth Social post. Soliman, an Egyptian national, was in the U.S. illegally, the Department of Homeland Security said previously. He entered the U.S. in August 2022 as a non-immigrant visitor and was later granted a two-year work authorization in March 2023 – which expired this year. In his post, Trump continued: '[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 FBI defines domestic terrorism as criminal acts committed by individuals or groups to further ideological goals stemming from political, religious, social, racial, or environmental influences. Officials have said the attack in Boulder was targeted and leaders throughout the country have condemned the suspected perpetrator for antisemitism.

ICE expands illegal immigration tip line after Colorado terrorist attack: 'Public safety threats'
Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be directing more resources to its 24/7 tip line after the antisemitic Boulder, Colorado, terrorist attack, as the suspect overstayed his visa. "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," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Monday. "Yesterday's terrorist attack by a suspect illegally in our country, underscores the importance of getting these illegal aliens out of our country," McLaughlin added.

Trump blames Biden border policies for Boulder attack
President Trump on Monday blamed the antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colo., a day earlier on former President Biden's border policies, calling the incident that injured several people an example of the need for secure borders. A man used a 'makeshift flamethrower' and incendiary devices Sunday to attack people demonstrating for the release of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas. The suspect, Mohamed Soliman, reportedly yelled 'free Palestine' during the attack, the FBI said Sunday. Soliman is an Egyptian national who entered the U.S. in 2022 and overstayed his tourist visa, The Colorado Sun reported, citing federal authorities. He had filed for asylum in September 2022, according to a spokesperson for The Department of Homeland Security. 'Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under 'TRUMP' Policy,' Trump said on Truth Social. '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!' The attack in Boulder took place during a peaceful weekly gathering of individuals, walking together to demonstrate solidarity with hostages still held in Gaza by Hamas and to call for their release. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Sunday night said the suspect is an 'illegal alien' who overstayed his visa. '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,' he wrote on X. The victims of the attack range in age from 52 to 88, The Associated Press reported, and the incident has led to increased security in other parts of the country, including New York City. Last week, a man shouted 'free, free Palestine' while being detained for the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. The victims, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were attending a reception hosted by the American Jewish Committee at the Capital Jewish Museum when they were shot and killed.
