NEWS ALERT: Seeking to protect Americans from terrorism, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained the family of Boulder suspect Mohamed Soliman.
Watch the video down below.
The man made headlines for being an illegal alien who targeted Jews with Molotov cocktails.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that Soliman’s wife and children are now in expedited removal proceedings.
Authorities now investigate whether they knew about or supported his attack that injured twelve people.
The Department of Homeland Security is taking swift action after the Egyptian national attacked a Jewish gathering in Boulder with homemade explosives.
“Mohamed’s despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we’re also investigating to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it,” Noem said in a video posted to X.
Soliman entered the U.S. illegally in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired in February 2023.
He faces 16 counts of attempted murder after allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at participants of the “Run for Their Lives” group advocating for hostages held in Gaza.
According to court documents, he disguised himself as a gardener during the attack and had sixteen unused Molotov cocktails and a backpack weed sprayer containing flammable liquid with him when arrested.
Investigators revealed the attack was premeditated, with Soliman planning it for a full year and delaying until after his daughter’s graduation.
The FBI uncovered that Soliman had even taken a concealed carry class but could not purchase a firearm due to his illegal immigration status, which likely prevented an even deadlier outcome.
The anti-Jewish motivation behind the attack was clearly established in court documents.
Soliman reportedly told investigators that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead” and expressed no regrets about the attack. He also indicated he would attack again if released.
Soliman’s victims described a horrific scene. “They’re literally on fire, I don’t know if I can express it enough — literally on fire and trying to pull my friend out of the fire,” recounted Omer Shachar, one of the survivors.
The attack has forced the Run for Their Lives group to pause its activities while it reassesses security measures.
Currently held on a $10 million cash-only bond in Boulder County jail, Soliman faces multiple felony charges, including attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and possession of incendiary devices.
His case highlights the dangerous consequences of America’s porous borders and lax immigration enforcement that persisted before the Trump administration took office earlier this year.
