Bill > HRes485

This resolution condemns an antisemitic terrorist attack that occurred in Boulder, Colorado on June 1, 2025, perpetrated by Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who was in the United States illegally. The resolution details that Soliman attacked peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of Hamas hostages by throwing homemade Molotov cocktails while shouting "Free Palestine," an antisemitic slogan, and wounded at least 14 people, including a Holocaust survivor. The resolution highlights Soliman's immigration status, noting he entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in August 2022, filed an asylum application shortly after arrival, and overstayed his visa. It criticizes Colorado's sanctuary state policies that limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, and suggests these policies hindered potential intervention. The resolution condemns Soliman's terrorist attack, prays for the victims' healing, affirms the importance of communication between state, local, and federal law enforcement in preventing terrorist attacks, and expresses gratitude to law enforcement personnel, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for protecting the homeland.
