RESOLUTION

Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Whereas, on June 1, 2025, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national illegally in the United States, committed a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, against marchers peacefully demonstrating in support of the release of hostages held captive by Hamas;

Whereas, while shouting Free Palestine, an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails;

Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman stated he planned the terrorist attack for more than a year, wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead, and would do it [conduct an attack] again;

Whereas the terrorist attack committed by Mohammed Sabry Soliman wounded at least 14 people who suffered burns and other injuries;

Whereas, reportedly, at least one of the victims was a Holocaust survivor;

Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman was issued a tourist visa to travel to the United States;

Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman was admitted to the United States at Los Angeles International Airport on August 27, 2022;

Whereas, one month after his arrival in the United States and seemingly in violation of the terms of his nonimmigrant visa, which required that he not intend to remain in the United States permanently, Mohammed Sabry Soliman filed an asylum application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services;

Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman failed to depart the United States prior to the expiration of his authorized period of stay pursuant to his visa;

Whereas the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman highlights the need to aggressively vet aliens who apply for visas to determine whether they endorse, espouse, promote, or support antisemitic terrorism or engage in other antisemitic or anti-American activity;

Whereas the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas;

Whereas Colorado is a sanctuary State that prohibits law enforcement and other government entities from sharing information about illegal aliens with Federal immigration authorities, prevents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel from accessing certain public areas, and otherwise hinders immigration enforcement; and

Whereas Colorado law enforcement officials have encountered Mohammed Sabry Soliman multiple times since 2022: Now, therefore, be it
