This resolution condemns the antisemitic terrorist attack committed by Mohammed Sabry Soliman in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025. Soliman, an Egyptian national illegally in the United States, attacked peaceful demonstrators with Molotov cocktails, injuring at least 14 people, including a Holocaust survivor, while shouting "Free Palestine" and expressing genocidal intent. The resolution details Soliman's immigration history, noting he entered on a tourist visa, filed for asylum in violation of its terms, and overstayed his authorized period. It emphasizes that his case underscores the critical need to aggressively vet visa applicants for antisemitic or anti-American sentiments and to remove individuals who violate visa conditions. Furthermore, the House affirms the necessity of robust communication between State, local, and Federal law enforcement to prevent such attacks and expresses gratitude to all law enforcement personnel, including ICE, for their efforts in protecting the homeland.
