Family of Boulder attacker faces imminent deportation after violent incident
- Mohamed Sabry Soliman attacked a group of peaceful demonstrators in Boulder, injuring 12 people with incendiary devices.
- His family, including a wife and five children, was detained by ICE for being in the country illegally.
- This incident has highlighted concerns regarding immigration policies related to terrorism and family deportation.
In early June 2025, authorities detained the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, following his violent actions during a protest in Boulder, Colorado. Mohamed, who had overstayed his visa, attacked a group of Jewish demonstrators using Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower, injuring twelve individuals, including an elderly Holocaust survivor. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) declared Soliman a 'terrorist' and initiated a probe to ascertain whether his family had any prior knowledge or provided support for his actions. His wife and five children, now in ICE custody, face expedited deportation due to their illegal immigration status. Reports indicate that their visas were revoked immediately after Soliman's arrest, speeding up the removal process, which the White House claimed could happen as early as June 4, 2025. The incident has sparked discussions about immigration policies and the implications for families connected to individuals accused of terrorism, underlining the government's stance on national security and illegal immigration.
