Federal judge issues order blocking deportation of Boulder firebomb terrorist’s family

By Colleen Slevin, Jesse Bedayn and Rebecca Santana | Associated Press via Denver Gazette BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A federal judge issued an order Wednesday to prevent the deportation of the wife and five children of an Egyptian man charged in the firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado. U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted a request from the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman to halt deportation proceedings of his wife and five children who were taken into federal custody Tuesday by U.S. immigration officials. The family members have not been charged in the attack on a group demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Soliman faces federal hate crime charges and state charges of attempted murder in the Sunday attack in downtown Boulder. U.S. ...

Massive 19-state operation shatters Chinese sex-trafficking networks

By Candace Hathaway | The Blaze Media Chinese organized crime is fueling a $5 billion-per-year sex-trafficking empire in the United States, operating numerous illicit massage parlors where 75,000 victims are enslaved and traumatized. This modern slavery crisis was the target of a nationwide operation on Thursday involving 19 states and more than 150 law enforcement agencies, Blaze News has learned. 'We've not been giving our law enforcement officers the tools that they need to battle trafficking, and that's why trafficking continues to increase.' Dan Nash, the founder of the Human Trafficking Training Center and a retired Missouri state trooper, coordinated the action, dubbed Operation Coast to Coast. Thursday's sweep marked the third time Nash and HTTC launched the effort, ...

Colorado Dems face backlash for fundraiser with Ilhan Omar after Boulder terror attack: ‘Reprehensible’

By Cameron Arcand | Fox News Colorado Democrats are facing criticism for leading a fundraiser with Rep. Ilhan Omar less than an hour after Sunday's antisemitic terrorist attack in which 12 people were hurt, including a Holocaust survivor. The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is facing federal hate crime charges and numerous state-level attempted murder charges for using incendiary devices to burn people who were rallying for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza ever since the terrorist group attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Soliman was in the country illegally after overstaying his visa and work authorization, according to authorities. About 30 minutes later in nearby Denver, there was a "private reception" with Omar, who has been a major...

Weaponizing 911: Romanian national pleads guilty to swatting 75+ public officials in multi-year plot

By Victor Nava | New York Post A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president.  Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department.  Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials and state...

Walcher: It’s not just Chinese farmland—it’s unchecked federal control over 700 million acres

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com An article BBC Science Focus highlights the difficulties of “multi-tasking,” handling several things at a time, which apparently most of us don’t do very well. “In an ideal world, we’d focus on one task at a time, get it finished and only then move onto something else.” But in real life, “It’s all too common for you to be making great progress on one thing, when… BAM! You suddenly need to deal with something else.” That is common, not only in our personal lives, but also in government. In the decade I worked on Capitol Hill, no crisis happened on any Monday morning. Instead, whenever we were winding down some big project, a new crisis would appear, usually at 4:00 pm on Friday. Multi-tasking wasn’t a popular term back then, but it apt...

Denver City Council considering plan to fix voter disconnect in at-large races

By Deborah Grigsby | Denver Gazette Citing concerns of voter confusion and wasted votes, five Denver City Council members are proposing the city change how it elects its two citywide at-large council seats by splitting them into two separate races. They say the move will also increase voter participation. Currently, the at-large members are elected on a single ballot, with the top two vote-getters declared the winners, District 2 Councilmember Kevin Flynn said. Every elected official in Denver, except for the at-large candidates, must be elected by greater than 50% of the vote, city officials said during Monday’s City Budget and Policy Committee meeting. However, since 1991, nearly a third of votes in the at-large races have been left blank, more than 12 times the amount of ...

Noem: ‘We are going to do mass deportations to enforce the law’

By Jeff Poor | Breitbart During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was defiant in response to detractors of the Trump administration’s immigration policy, who claim deportations were hurting the U.S. economy. Noem told host Maria Bartiromo that President Donald Trump’s deportation pledge was part of his 2024 presidential campaign and “what the American people elected him to do.” “Secretary, I want to get your take on how you’re doing and what the priorities are, because you have got globalists out there who are saying, ‘Oh, they’re going to arrest people who have jobs and that’s going to impact the jobs market, and then we’re not going to have the people to do the jobs we need,” host Maria Bartiromo sai...

Kalam: Colorado’s Woke Zealotry Ushers Islamist Terror into Boulder

By Ahnaf Kalam | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Just over a week ago, I warned that the shooting of two young Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., by a far-left zealot chanting “Free Palestine” was not an isolated act but a harbinger.  In progressive strongholds, where criminal fanatics like Luigi Mangione are lionized, such violence would not merely persist—it would metastasize. And so it has. In Boulder, Colorado, barely an hour from my home, the grim prophecy has been fulfilled. Last Tuesday, I was in Washington, D.C., attending a policy conference under heavy security. That morning, I spoke with a friend and colleague, an IDF reserve major in the Homefront Command, about the gnawing vulnerability we felt in a city like D.C.Stripped of the Sig Sauers we c...

Fremont rancher’s cattle remain quarantined after 15 die mysteriously—county and state investigating cause

By Peter Choi | KOAA Multiple tissue tests of the dead cow came back negative, the rancher says COAL CREEK, Colo. (KOAA) — A rancher in Fremont County continues to seek answers as to why 15 cows died in one day. News5 first reported the incident on March 21. Since then, the rancher, Kerri Higgs, has been scrambling to learn the cause of the deaths from several tests. On May 8, Higgs found 15 of her cows dead with no definite cause of their deaths. She contacted a local vet to find answers. A week later, the vet told Higgs that sulfate poisoning is likely the cause. Higgs says the local vet took samples to a different lab to get a second opinion. "She talked to Dr. Webb at Colorado State University (CSU). They conversed," said Higgs. On May 27, the CSU vet released a...

Sixth wolf death of 2025 confirmed—CPW says ‘wolf population will continue to grow’

By Stephanie Butzer | Denver7 Another gray wolf that was brought to Colorado as part of the state's reintroduction program has died, Colorado and federal officials said on Monday afternoon. In a press release on Monday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said they received a mortality alert for a male wolf in northwest Colorado on May 31. The wolf had been brought to Colorado from Canada as part of the January 2025 reintroduction, CPW confirmed to Denver7. It is the fifth wolf from the original 15 released that month that has died. As with any wolf death in Colorado, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating because gray wolves are a federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act. The USFWS will determine its cause of death. That investigation is ongoing. ...
