White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller spoke out in a series of posts to X overnight after it was revealed that a Boulder terror suspect is an illegal immigrant.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect arrested for attacking multiple people in Colorado on Sunday night, is an Egyptian national who overstayed a visa given during the Biden administration.
“A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by 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 posted. “Suicidal migration must be fully reversed.”
Miller also criticized the Biden administration in an earlier post, arguing that immigration security is national security.
“The Biden Admin granted the alien a visa and then, when he illegally overstayed, they gave him a work permit. Immigration security is national security. No more hostile migration. Keep them out and send them back,” he wrote.
Soliman was arrested Sunday after allegedly attacking participants of a pro-Israel rally in Boulder with incendiary devices, injuring eight people, according to authorities. The FBI is investigating the incident as a targeted act of terrorism.
The attack occurred during a weekly event organized by “Run for Their Lives,” a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Witnesses reported that a shirtless man hurled Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower on the crowd while shouting “Free Palestine” and other slogans. The victims, aged between 52 and 88, sustained varying degrees of burns; one remains in critical condition.
Soliman, who was also injured during the incident, was taken into custody at the scene and is currently hospitalized. He faces multiple felony charges, including attempted murder and assault.
According to federal officials, Soliman entered the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa in August 2022, which expired in February 2023. He remained in the country after filing a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. He was granted work authorization in March 2023, valid through March 2025, making his current presence in the U.S. illegal.
