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
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and his antisemitic 
terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators supporting the 
release of the hostages held by Hamas;
(2) prays for the quick healing of the victims of Mohammed 
Sabry Soliman's antisemitic terrorist attack;
(3) affirms that free and open communication between State 
and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts 
remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in 
preventing terrorist attacks; and
(4) expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, 
including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, 
for protecting the homeland.
