This House resolution condemns an antisemitic terrorist attack that occurred on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, when Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of Hamas-held hostages using homemade Molotov cocktails. The attack wounded at least 14 people, including reportedly a Holocaust survivor, and the perpetrator stated he had planned the attack for over a year and wanted to kill all Zionist people. The resolution highlights that Soliman was an Egyptian national who entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2022, filed an asylum application shortly after arrival, and remained in the country illegally past his authorized stay despite multiple encounters with Colorado law enforcement. The House uses this incident to call for stronger vetting of visa applicants for antisemitic or anti-American activities and emphasizes the need for better coordination between state, local, and federal law enforcement to prevent terrorist attacks. The resolution expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers and reaffirms the importance of communication between different levels of law enforcement for public safety.
