Boulder Terror Attack Suspect’s Family Detained by ICE

The family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect in the recent Boulder terror attack, has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the firebombing that injured 12 individuals. Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa, allegedly targeted a pro-Israel rally with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower, shouting “Free Palestine” during the assault.

Soliman’s wife and five children were taken into ICE custody and face expedited removal proceedings. Authorities are investigating whether the family had prior knowledge of the planned attack. Soliman’s wife reportedly cooperated with law enforcement, providing his iPhone and a journal outlining the attack plans.

The attack occurred during a peaceful demonstration organized by “Run for Their Lives,” a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages. Among the injured were elderly individuals, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, Barbara Steinmetz. Soliman confessed to planning the attack for over a year, citing anti-Israel motives. When interviewed after the assault, Soliman said told police “wanted them all to die” and that “he had no regrets, and he would go back and do it again.”

Soliman faces multiple charges, including federal hate crimes and attempted first-degree murder. He is currently held on a $10 million bond. The incident has intensified concerns over rising antisemitism in the U.S.

In response to the attack, President Donald Trump emphasized the need for strict immigration policies, stating, “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.”
