U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a hardline stance on anti-Semitic terrorism occurring on American soil, stating that he would 'expel not only terrorists but also their families and accomplices.'
On the 2nd (local time), the Associated Press reported that President Trump remarked on the Molotov cocktail attack that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, on the 1st, calling it 'a result of the irresponsible border policies of the Biden administration.'
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also warned on X that 'we will cancel the visas of all terrorists currently residing here on visas along with their families and accomplices and expel them.'
President Trump has vowed since his first day in office to initiate the largest-scale illegal immigrant expulsion operation in U.S. history.
The suspect, Mohamed Sabri Soliman, is an Egyptian national who entered the United States on a tourist visa in August 2022 and was in a state of illegal residency.
On the day of the incident, he disguised himself as a gardener to approach the pro-Israel group 'Run for Their Lives' event before shouting 'freedom for Palestine' and throwing a Molotov cocktail.
As a result of this incident, 12 people aged between 52 and 88 were injured, with 2 of them receiving hospitalized treatment. The FBI stated that the suspect planned the attack for a year and expressed a desire to 'kill all Zionists.'
According to Boulder police, Soliman attempted to purchase a firearm but was refused due to his illegal residency status, leading him to use Molotov cocktails. He is reported to have learned how to make them from YouTube.
Soliman is currently being held on a $10 million bail and has been charged with 42 felony counts, including attempted first-degree murder. Under U.S. federal law, hate crime charges can carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
