“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI chief Kash Patel said on X, adding that
“our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

Later Sunday night, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said the suspect is “an illegal alien.” “He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden administration gave him a work permit,” Miller said of Soliman.

Miller, a leading anti-immigration advocate in the administration, didn’t specify whether Soliman’s work permit had expired.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the attack as a “vicious act of terrorism.”

“As the American Jewish community continues to reel from the horrific antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder,” tweeted Polis, who is Jewish.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said,
“We’re united in prayer for the victims of a targeted terror attack this afternoon in Boulder. Terror has no place in our great country.”

The attacks come after a series of thwarted terror attempts against Jewish and Israeli targets around the U.S. in the past year.
