Introduced on June 6, 2025 by Gabe Evans
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Directly condemns the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder on June 1, 2025, carried out by an Egyptian national, and expresses sympathy and prayers for the injured and affected. The resolution highlights concerns about the attacker’s immigration status and vetting, emphasizes the need for strong communication among federal, state, and local law enforcement for public safety, and thanks law enforcement officers (including ICE) for their response and protection of the homeland.
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.
While shouting an antisemitic slogan that the preamble says calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails.
Mohammed Sabry Soliman stated he planned the terrorist attack for more than a year and made statements including that he 'wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead' and that he would 'do it [conduct an attack] again.'
The terrorist attack wounded at least 14 people who suffered burns and other injuries.
Reportedly at least one of the victims was a Holocaust survivor.
Primary effects are symbolic and political rather than regulatory. Directly affected groups include the victims and their families, Jewish communities and others targeted by hate violence, and law enforcement agencies whose actions are praised and whose coordination is urged. The preamble’s focus on the attacker’s immigration status and visa vetting may prompt public debate and political attention to immigration screening and State-level sanctuary policies, potentially affecting noncitizen communities and local policy discussions. Because the text is a resolution of condemnation and thanks, it does not change law, funding, or operational duties for agencies, but it may influence public discourse, oversight inquiries, or calls for administrative reviews of vetting and interagency communication.
