GOP Lawmaker Links Colorado ‘Sanctuary State’ Policy to Boulder Attack
- On May 26, 2025, Mohamed Sabry Soliman attacked a peaceful pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, injuring eight people with Molotov cocktails and incendiary devices.
- The attack followed increased antisemitic violence after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 assault on Israel, with Soliman reportedly yelling "Free Palestine" during the incident.
- Soliman entered the U.S. On a B2 visa in August 2022, overstayed, and filed for asylum in September 2022, prompting Republican lawmakers to link the attack to immigration policies.
- President Trump and Rep. Byron Donalds blamed the Biden administration's open border policies, while Democrats condemned antisemitism without addressing immigration status.
- The attack intensified national debates on antisemitism and immigration, showing divided political responses and raising concerns about a persistent cycle of antisemitic violence in the U.S.
