President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm after a horrific terror attack rocked Boulder, Colorado, during a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration. The suspect, 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, allegedly hurled Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower on attendees, injuring eight people ranging from ages 52 to 88. According to witnesses, Soliman shouted “Free Palestine” while launching his assault.
Federal authorities have confirmed that Soliman originally entered the United States legally on a tourist visa in August 2022—but overstayed after his visa expired in February 2023. Though he applied for asylum and was granted temporary work authorization in March of that year, that authorization expired in March 2025, meaning he was in the country illegally at the time of the attack.
Trump responded swiftly and forcefully, blaming the Biden administration’s border failures for enabling the violent act. In a statement on Truth Social, he declared, “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.” He slammed Biden’s immigration policies as reckless and dangerous, claiming they’ve opened the floodgates to individuals who pose a clear threat to public safety.
The FBI is investigating the incident as a targeted act of terrorism. Authorities discovered additional incendiary devices near the scene, suggesting the attack was premeditated and potentially part of a broader plan. Soliman now faces multiple felony charges, including attempted first-degree murder and federal hate crimes.
The attack has reignited a fierce national debate about immigration enforcement and national security. Republicans are calling for immediate reforms to end the cycle of abuse within the asylum and visa system, which they say is being exploited by dangerous individuals. Many have pointed out that Soliman should never have been in the country after his visa and work authorization expired.
Critics argue that the Biden administration’s lax border controls and immigration enforcement have turned every American city into a potential target. The Colorado incident is being held up as a tragic but avoidable consequence of these failed policies.
As the investigation continues, the spotlight is once again on Washington’s inability—or unwillingness—to protect Americans from foreign nationals who exploit the system. For President Trump and millions of Americans, the message is clear: border security isn’t just a policy—it’s a matter of life and death.
