Boulder terror attack latest: Suspect Mohamed Soliman’s shocking illegal migrant history revealed

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller sensationally revealed the suspect taken into custody in the Boulder attack was living in the United States on an outdated work permit issued from the Biden administration.

He said Soliman was initially granted a tourist visa, and when he was caught overstaying that visa, Biden issued him a new work permit, which has also since lapsed.

He described Soliman as an ‘illegal alien.’

‘Immigration security is national security,’ he said. ‘No more hostile migration. Keep them out and send them back.’

His revelation comes amid reporting that Soliman was an Egyptian national residing illegally in the United States after overstaying his visa.

Fox first reported that the terror suspect arrived in America via Los Angeles International Airport in August 2022, carrying a tourist visa.

He had authorization to remain in the United States until February 2, 2023, but that date came and went and Soliman remained in the country. He had filed a claim with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services on September 9, 2022.

The Biden administration granded Soliman work authorization on March 29, 2023, which lapsed in March 2025 – three months ago.

Congressman Brendan Gill expanded on Miller’s revelation, sharing to X: ‘Biden allowed Islamic terrorist Mohamad Soliman into the country under a B1/B2 visa program.

‘He overstayed his visa so Biden awarded him with a work permit. He then overstayed his work permit, before brutally attacking American Jews.’

Mohamed Soliman, the suspect in the atrocious firebomb terror attack at a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, is set to appear in court today at 1:30pm local time (3:30pm EST).

Court records show that Soliman, who was arrested shortly after the attack, faces eight felony charges including first-degree murder.

It is currently unclear if he could face any further charges in connection with the incident, which the FBI has called a ‘targeted terror attack’.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has condemned the ‘heinous’ and ‘targeted act’ of violence against Boulder’s Jewish community.

Polis says his administration is ‘working closely’ with local and federal law enforcement as they investigate the attack.

‘Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,’ he said.

Brooke Coffman, a 19-year-old university student who witnessed the Boulder incident, said she saw four women lying or sitting on the ground with burns on their legs.

One of them appeared to have been badly burned on most of her body and had been wrapped in a flag by someone, she said.

She described seeing a man whom she presumed to be the attacker standing in the courtyard shirtless, holding a glass bottle of clear liquid and shouting.

Other eyewitnesses recalled seeing a ‘big flame as high as a tree’ and the suspect throw ‘a gas bomb in a glass jar’.

CNN is being slammed for downplaying the attack in Boulder, Colorado, which FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino both called an act of terror.

But CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem pointed out that the Boulder police chief was not yet willing to call the attack an act of terrorism – as she called Patel ‘juvenile’ for assuming it was.

‘It makes law enforcement look disorganized and it makes the FBI look so juvenile, like why are you getting ahead of the police chief who says “I don’t know what this is,”‘ Kayyem argued. ‘And he has no incentive to get it wrong.’

After claiming CNN was ‘taking a step back’, Kayyem said that if Boulder police later determine it was terrorism ‘I will be the first one out here saying that this is a hate crime.

‘But until we do, we all need to – to not follow the FBI’s tweets,’ she argued.

Her comments were quickly criticized online, with one person noting that the suspect was caught on video ‘ranting about Zionism as he sets Jews on fire.’

Police say Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, injured eight people – setting at least one ablaze – at a demonstration honoring the October 7 victims who are still being held hostage by Hamas militants in Gaza.

Boulder Police have not publicly identified the victims of the hate crime, but described them as four women and four men ranging in age from 52 to 88.

Longtime Boulder residents Rabbi Israel Wilhelm and filmmaker Lisa Effress said the oldest victim of Sunday’s attack lived through the horrors of the Holocaust.

Officers within the FBI’s Denver unit arrived at a home linked to Mohamed Sabry Soliman on Sunday to conduct ‘court-authorized law enforcement activity’ as part of the investigation.

The unassuming El Paso County home was surrounded by officers as confused neighbors noted they didn’t know the residents of the address well.

‘As this is an ongoing investigation, no additional information is available at this time,’ the FBI said.

According to The New York Times, a woman was allowed to enter the home which had been identified as belonging to Soliman.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection to Sunday’s attack, booking records obtained by Daily Mail reveal.

Despite the charges, police have not yet confirmed if anyone has died as a result of the attack.

The latest information we have is that four women and four men aged between 52 and 88 were injured and taken to hospitals following the incident.

An update on their conditions has not been provided.

Soliman has also been charged with one count of attempted murder, one count of first-degree assault, one count of causing serious injury to an at-risk adult or someone over 70 and one count of using explosives or incendiary devices.
