Quick Hit:

The suspect accused of launching a fiery antisemitic attack during a pro-Israel event in Boulder, Colorado, is reportedly an Egyptian national who entered the U.S. on a visa under the Biden administration and never left.

Key Details:

  • Fox News’ Bill Melugin, citing three senior DHS officials, reported that the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, entered the U.S. on August 27th, 2022, on a B1/B2 tourist visa, which expired in February 2023. He overstayed and remained in the country illegally.

  • On September 29th, 2022, Soliman reportedly filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)—possibly an asylum request—and was granted work authorization in March 2023. That work permit expired in March of this year.

  • FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek confirmed that six elderly individuals were hospitalized with burn injuries after Soliman allegedly hurled incendiary devices and used a makeshift flamethrower while yelling “Free Palestine” during the attack.

Diving Deeper:

Federal immigration officials have identified the man behind Sunday’s targeted attack at Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, as an Egyptian national who was in the United States illegally, according to reporting from Fox News’ Bill Melugin. The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, reportedly entered the country through Los Angeles International Airport on August 27th, 2022, using a B1/B2 tourist visa that expired in February 2023.

Citing three senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security, Melugin reported that Soliman never left the country after his visa lapsed. Instead, he filed a claim with USCIS—believed to be an asylum request—and was granted a work permit by the Biden administration in March 2023. That work authorization expired this past March.

The immigration details emerged hours after the FBI publicly named Soliman as the suspect in what it has now classified as a terror attack. FBI Denver Special Agent Mark Michalek said Soliman targeted participants of a peaceful weekly pro-Israel gathering with a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device, injuring six victims aged 67 to 88.

“This attack happened at a regularly scheduled weekly peaceful event,” Michalek said during a press conference. “Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell, ‘Free Palestine’ during the attack.”

Michalek confirmed the agency is treating the incident as a terror-related act. “Sadly, attacks like this are becoming too common across the country,” he added. “This is an example of how perpetrators of violence continue to threaten communities across our nation.”

Video from the scene appears to show Soliman shouting phrases like “end Zionists” and “Palestine is free” before the attack. Witnesses said victims were part of a walk organized to draw attention to Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the assault, calling it a “heinous and targeted act” against the Jewish community. “My thoughts go out to the people who have been injured,” Polis said Sunday evening. “Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of hostages… Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Scott Jennings Dunks Head In Trash Can Upon Mention Of Trump-Musk Feud

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Hailey Gomez

Republican strategist Scott Jennings dipped his head into a trash can during CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on Thursday after host Jake Tapper asked who he would side with in billionaire Elon Musk’s and President Donald Trump’s feud.

A public argument began between Trump and Musk on Thursday after the billionaire continued to rally against the president’s “big, beautiful bill.” While discussing Musk’s and Trump’s fallout, Tapper asked Jennings who he would side with “in the divorce.”

“Let me just tell you what every Republican is doing. I have my, here’s where we are today. We’re literally, heads are in the garbage can right now. That’s the state of everybody I know at the moment,” Jennings said as he placed his head in a black trash can.

“Not going to lie, it’s an ugly day. And, you know, you hate it when your friends are fighting,” Jennings added. “I continue to believe that their partnership last year saved America. I also continue to believe their goals are not mutually exclusive. Trump needs to pass his agenda, which this bill is his agenda. It’s what he ran on.”

With the Senate expected to take a vote on the budget reconciliation package, Republicans like Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the legislation.

WATCH:

During a CBS News interview in May, Musk called out Republican support of Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” arguing that it would contradict the cost-cutting work of the Department of Government Efficiency. Similar to some Republican senators’ warnings, Musk said the bill could potentially increase the deficit.

“Elon wants to save America from going bankrupt, which they can also do if the Republicans in Congress and everybody works together, all of these things can happen,” Jennings said. “When the fights get personal, though, it means the enemy is advancing. And, in this case, it means the Democrats are laughing and advancing.”

“So, hopefully, cooler heads will soon prevail,” Jennings said. “The president can get his agenda, and Elon can convince the Republicans that the debt is a serious problem, but [I’m] not going to lie. Rough day for the Republicans.”

White House officials have pushed back against opponents of the bill, with White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller writing on X that the bill would save “more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform.”

Despite concerns about the bill not being able to pass and head to Trump’s desk by July 4, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in May that he believes there’s a “workable path” to secure 51 votes.

Musk claims Trump is named in Epstein files after Trump says Elon went ‘CRAZY’

‘Time to drop the really big bomb,’ Musk posted on X. ‘Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.’

A social media feud that began Tuesday between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump escalated into full-scale nuclear war today after Musk alleged that the president has ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk wrote on X. “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

“Have a nice day, DJT,” he added.

In a follow-up post, Musk urged his X followers, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Musk published his allegation shortly after Trump threatened to cancel government contracts with Musk’s companies.

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave,” Trump wrote earlier on his social media platform, Truth Social.

“I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump said.

Musk’s companies, including SpaceX, enjoy billions of dollars’ worth of federal government contracts.

Musk’s barrage of X posts aimed at Trump has continued until this writing, alleging most recently that “The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.”
