It was June 1st, 2025, and folks had gathered to show support for Israeli hostages. What started as a day of unity quickly became a nightmare.
A man named Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who wasn’t supposed to be in the country, attacked the crowd with a makeshift flamethrower. He’d brought along 16 Molotov cocktails too.
The community is grappling with more than just recovery. It’s facing a heated debate over what to do with the attacker’s family.
The entire family are illegal aliens, one of the first facts discovered during the investigation. The foreign terrorist committed immigration fraud to bring his family to the United States, all of whom are illegal. All of whom must be ejected. This is the definition of suicidal… https://t.co/robDduFDDk

The FBI says Soliman had planned this for a whole year. He shouted “Free Palestinians!” while setting people on fire.
Sixteen people were hurt, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.
Soliman had overstayed his tourist visa and was living here illegally. He brought his wife and five young kids into the country the same way.
After the attack, immigration agents picked up the whole family. The Trump administration moved quickly to deport them.
Stephen Miller, who used to work in the White House, called this a case of “suicidal migration”; basically saying we’re putting ourselves in danger by letting people in without proper checks.
Once again, the Courts give extraordinary preferential treatment to illegal alien foreign terrorists. The Boulder terrorist is an illegal, his entire family that he imported to America are illegals, and now a Biden Judge is blocking their deportation. End the judicial coup. https://t.co/HxtpEr9ClC

But then a judge stepped in and blocked the deportation, saying the kids might suffer “irreparable harm.”
We all care about children, and no one wants to see them suffer for decisions they didn’t make. But the hard truth is this: the whole family came here illegally.
If we keep turning a blind eye to visa overstays and ignoring the law, what message are we sending?
There are people who argue this is unfair and call it collective punishment. Groups like the ACLU say we need to focus on compassion.
We should be kind. But we also need to be clear-eyed.
Our country has laws for a reason. To protect people. When we ignore those laws, we’re taking risks we shouldn’t take.
This tragedy in Boulder wasn’t just about one man. It’s about a system that allowed him to stay, plan, and carry out something this awful. It’s about families who now live in fear because our borders weren’t properly enforced.
We don’t have to choose between compassion and security. We can do both.
But we’ve got to get serious about knowing who’s coming in and making sure those who break the rules don’t get a free pass.
