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

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.

Garbo: Boulder wasn’t a clash, it was terrorism

What happened in Boulder was an act of terrorism, plain and simple. The alleged actions of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, targeting Jews in what authorities have rightly identified as an ideologically motivated, antisemitic attack, must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It was not a “disturbance,” or a “clash,” or a “misunderstanding.” It was hate. And it was violent, deliberate, and evil.

This nation was founded on the principle that people of all faiths and backgrounds can worship, gather, and speak freely without fear. That principle was shattered in Boulder, and we cannot – must not – look away.

Herf: When ‘Free Palestine’ becomes a pretext for terrorism

On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, a group of Jews was set on fire. They had gathered in the afternoon for a march to draw attention to Israel’s hostages, who have been held by Hamas terrorists for more than 600 days, when a man reportedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the group, seriously injuring several.

The alleged perpetrator is named Mohamad Soliman, and you can see him in videos from the scene shouting “End Zionists” and “Palestine free and for us.”

This incident, which the FBI has called a “targeted terror attack,” comes less than two weeks after the assassination of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Their alleged killer, Elias Rodriguez, yelled exactly what the perpetrator in Boulder yelled—“Free Palestine”—the slogan that echoed on campuses and in the streets, especially since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023.

These two events are of great historical significance.

“Let this be a warning. You can run, but you cannot hide,” Bondi said in a video message. “Justice is coming.”

Frederick, a resident of Fort Collins, Colo., allegedly ignited an incendiary device and hurled it at the dealership, narrowly missing several parked vehicles. The device landed between two cars, and created a fire, Loveland police said.
