Federal authorities have moved swiftly to detain the family of the terror suspect accused of a heinous antisemitic attack in Boulder.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national living illegally in the U.S., unleashed a firestorm of hate with Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower, targeting a peaceful march for Israeli hostages.

Twelve people were injured, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.

Now, his wife and five children face expedited deportation as investigators dig deeper into their potential ties to this horrific act.

Federal immigration agents detained Soliman's wife and five children on Tuesday.

The family, stripped of their visa status, is being held at a Dilley, Texas, detention facility and faces expedited deportation, a Department of Homeland Security official said.

Soliman, who was residing in the U.S. illegally for two months after his work authorization expired on March 28, is charged with federal hate crimes and 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder.

He faces up to 624 years in prison if convicted.

Authorities say he targeted participants of the "Run For Their Lives" event, a weekly march in Boulder to show solidarity for Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Witnesses reported Soliman shouting "Free Palestine!" and "End Zionist" while spraying 87-octane gasoline from a garden hose fashioned into a flamethrower and hurling Molotov cocktails.

He allegedly told investigators he hated Jewish people, wanted to "kill all Zionist people," and wished "they were all dead," expressing no remorse and stating he would do it again.

Eight of the 12 victims, including four men and four women aged 52 to 88, were injured and required hospital treatment after the attack.

The 88-year-old Holocaust survivor remains in critical condition.

"Mohamed’s despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we’re also investigating to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. "I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and to all their families, our thoughts and our prayers go out to all of them. I want them to know that justice will be served."

Soliman arrived in the U.S. in August 2022 on a tourist visa, valid until February 2023, and later obtained work authorization, which expired in March 2024.

His asylum application was pending at the time of the attack.

According to police, Soliman admitted to planning the attack for a year, waiting until his daughter graduated from high school to carry it out.

Court documents reveal he left notes for his family hidden in a desk drawer in their Colorado Springs home before traveling 100 miles to Boulder for the attack.

The FBI searched the family’s home Monday, with Special Agent in Charge Mike Michalek noting the family’s cooperation, including Soliman’s wife turning over his iPhone to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Soliman’s daughter, Habiba, was recently celebrated in a Denver Gazette profile for a "Best and Brightest" scholarship.

She had written that moving to the U.S. from Kuwait allowed her to pursue a medical career, stating, "Coming to the USA has fundamentally changed me. I learned to adapt to new things even if it was hard. I learned to work under pressure and improve rapidly in a very short amount of time. Most importantly, I came to appreciate that family is the unchanging support."

Soliman reportedly tried to purchase firearms but was unable to due to his illegal status, resorting instead to homemade incendiary weapons.

Soliman is slated to appear in federal court Friday.

Folks, this is exactly the kind of story that exposes the rot at the core of unchecked immigration and the failure to secure our borders.

The left will scream about compassion, but where’s the compassion for the victims, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, fighting for her life?

This is what happens when you let the system fester, when you let people overstay visas and game the asylum process.
