More than 100 House Democrats voted on Monday against a resolution condemning the recent fire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terror-in-colorado-pro-israel-demonstrators-attacked-in-firebombing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attack</a> in Boulder, Colorado, on people demonstrating in support of hostages kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7, 2023, assault on Israel.
The <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20250609/H%20Res%206.8.25.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">measure</a>, which denounces the &#8220;antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado&#8221; and offers a critique of the U.S. immigration system because the suspect was an illegal immigrant, <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025158" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> with strong bipartisan support from 205 Republicans and 75 Democrats. However, 113 Democrats opposed the resolution, leaving them open to broadsides from Republicans.
&#8220;House Democrats just sided with terrorists over cops and couldn’t even bring themselves to condemn antisemitism. They&#8217;re officially the antisemite and anti-cop caucus,&#8221; Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Republican Jewish Coalition posted a list on X of all the Democrats who voted against the resolution, calling their opposition &#8220;shameful.&#8221;

The resolution notes Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is now facing hate crime and many other <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/06/06/mohamed-soliman-boulder-attack-hate-crime-charges/84065930007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charges</a> in connection to the June 1 firebombing in Boulder, allegedly shouted &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; and spoke about wanting to kill all the Zionists.
In addition, it mentions Soliman is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa and his case &#8220;demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas.&#8221; The resolution also expresses gratitude to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — a federal agency <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-comes-out-against-abolishing-ice-ice-is-not-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">derided</a> by some Democrats.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) chided Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO), who introduced the resolution, during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/znhJ3NB434E?t=218s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> before the vote.
&#8220;Who is this guy? He&#8217;s not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort. This guy&#8217;s going to be a one-term member of Congress. He&#8217;s a complete and total embarrassment,&#8221; Jeffries said. The top Democrat also <a href="https://x.com/NRCC/status/1932166132691083613" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the resolution and Evans a &#8220;joke.&#8221;
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) fired back at Jeffries in a <a href="https://x.com/SteveScalise/status/1932172219494342769" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X.
&#8220;Only radical Democrats would call it a joke to denounce antisemitic terrorism and express gratitude to law enforcement for detaining the terrorist here illegally who perpetrated the Boulder attack,&#8221; Scalise said. &#8220;Appreciate [Evans] — a veteran and former law enforcement officer &#8211; for leading on this important resolution.&#8221;
Evans, a first-term congressman who is a former Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot and police officer, also delivered a retort.
&#8220;I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, &amp; now as a Congressman,&#8221; Evans <a href="https://x.com/repgabeevans/status/1932192483510759662" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat’s Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions. Condemning terrorism is not a joking matter.&#8221;
Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO), who represents Boulder, had pushed for the House to go with his own <a href="https://neguse.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/neguse.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/neguse_085_xml_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> condemning the attack and criticized the measure from Evans. Among his complaints were that it contained small &#8220;inaccuracies&#8221; and failed to recognize the Boulder Police Department or FBI for their response to the firebombing — only ICE, &#8220;the one agency that was not in Boulder that day.&#8221;
Still, Neguse ended up voting to pass the measure from Evans, which did affirm &#8220;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.&#8221;
A Democrat who voted against the resolution, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do7FZ00kQIo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">griped</a> about how arguing the Boulder attack is a &#8220;reflection&#8221; of the U.S. immigration system &#8220;uses Jews as a partisan pawn.&#8221;
Nearly all House Republicans and Democrats joined together to pass another <a href="https://vandrew.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1875" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> from Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) condemning antisemitic violence across the United States — including the Boulder firebombing — in the midst of a &#8220;disturbing pattern of targeted aggression&#8221; that also encompasses the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-condemn-evil-murder-of-israeli-embassy-staffers-antisemitic-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing</a> of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., and an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arsonist-arrested-for-attack-on-josh-shapiro-hated-israel-911-call-reveals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arson attack</a> on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-in-custody-to-be-charged-with-terrorism-after-arson-attack-on-josh-shapiros-home?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspect+In+Custody" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home</a> of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish.

The attorney representing Mohamed Sabry Soliman — the terrorist charged with firebombing a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado — was reportedly barred from practicing law just six years earlier over what was described as “misconduct concerning an immigration matter.”
The Federalist’s Sean Davis shared the story in a post on X, explaining that attorney Susanna Dvortsin had been reprimanded by the South Dakota Supreme Court and barred from practicing law in that state in 2019.
“Guess who was banned from practicing law in 2019 for immigration misconduct? The attorney for the illegal immigrant family of the Egyptian terrorist who set a bunch of Jews on fire in Colorado.&#8221;
In 2019, the South Dakota Supreme Court prohibited Susanna Dvortsin from practicing law in the state due to ‘misconduct concerning an immigration matter,’” Davis began.
&#8220;The U.S. Department of Justice went even further in 2019 and banned Dvortsin from practicing law before the Department of Homeland Security,” he added.
The statement from the Justice Department read, “[Dvortsin] is immediately suspended from the practice of law before the Board [of Immigration Appeals], the Immigration Courts, or the DHS.”

He also included a screenshot of  the decision rendered by the Board of Immigration Appeals, which did not detail the nature of the “misconduct,” but affirmed the South Dakota Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling to bar her from practicing for 115 days and stated that she should also be barred from practicing law before the Board, DHS, or Immigration Courts. The order also stated that Dvortsin was to notify all parties in any pending cases set to go before those designated bodies of her suspension.

In response to the Trump administration&#8217;s announcement that the family of the accused terrorist who attacked a group of Jews in Colorado, was being deported, USA Today ran a piece bemoaning the fate of the suspect’s high-school daughter, who just graduated and said she wanted to be a doctor.

Now she faces deportation,&#8221; says that her &#8220;life had been headed in a positive direction before the attack on the weekly demonstration in support of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.&#8221;
&#8220;Habiba Soliman moved to the U.S. hoping to study medicine,&#8221; author Michael Loria writes. &#8220;Then her father Mohamed Soliman was charged with a hate crime in an attack aimed at peaceful Jewish demonstrators.&#8221;

Mohamed Soliman, 45, planned the vicious attack — in which he hurled Molotov cocktails at Jews at a pro-Israel rally, setting them afire and injuring 12 people while yelling “Free Palestine” — for a year but <a href="https://6abc.com/post/boulder-attack-updates-suspect-mohamed-sabry-soliman-booked-charges-act-terror-makeshift-flamethrower/16631344/">waited</a> until his daughter graduated high school to carry it out.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Soliman — born in Egypt —  is in the U.S. illegally, entering the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa and filing for asylum in September 2022, eventually receiving a work permit that expired in March of this year.

<h2>Immigrant Terror Rising?</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928913" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_20_08.Still001.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_20_08.Still001.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_20_08.Still001-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: Immigration enforcement continues to ramp up as the Trump administration prioritizes criminal and national security threats.
Senior Homeland Security officials <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929955057421738215">told Fox News&#8217;s Bill Melugin</a> on Tuesday that federal authorities have arrested the immediate family of the Boulder terror suspect, Mohamed Soliman. Sources say the family is “being processed for expedited removal.”
The arrest came a day after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a general policy of expected removal for immigrants with ties to terrorists. “All terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you.”
Meanwhile, in South Carolina, a group of <a href="https://abcnews4.com/news/state/six-illegal-migrants-charged-in-murder-of-sc-woman-defies-any-sense-of-decency">illegal aliens</a>, ranging from just 13 years old to 21, were recently arrested in connection with the brutal murder of Larisha Thompson. She was driving down the road when she was fatally shot. Authorities have charged six illegal aliens of uncertain national origin in connection with the murder. Investigators on the scene found evidence linking the firearm used in the attack to a <a href="https://wach.com/news/local/six-arrested-in-death-of-sc-woman-all-wanted-by-immigration-officials-larisha-sharell-thompson-lancaster">recent burglary</a>. An individual fired at a security camera while burglarizing a gas station convenience store. The SWAT team raided the home of the 21-year-old. The six illegal aliens have each been charged with murder, attempted armed robbery, and second-degree burglary.
And ICE has announced nearly 1,500 arrests in Massachusetts, a sanctuary state. Of those arrested, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/ice-massachusetts-raids-todd-lyons-boston/">790 illegal aliens</a>, more than half of them, had criminal records or pending charges. Patricia Hyde, the acting director of the Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston Field Office, explained that Massachusetts’s sanctuary state policies force immigration enforcement agents to go into the community rather than simply pick up illegal aliens from jails.
<h2>Drug Middleman Crackdown</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928917" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_18_04.Still003.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_18_04.Still003.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_18_04.Still003-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: A first-in-the-nation law takes on pharmacy benefit managers, the drug middlemen both sides of the aisle have blamed for inflating prescription drug prices.
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) act as middlemen between drug manufacturers, insurance companies, and pharmacies – and by extension, patients. They negotiate with drug companies and pay pharmacies for filing prescriptions. In theory, they’re supposed to lower costs for Americans. However, over the last decade, PBMs have consolidated – now just three companies oversee prescriptions for more than <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/business/prescription-drug-costs-pbm.html">200 million Americans</a>. They’ve been accused by both Republicans and Democrats of inflating prices for their own benefit and driving small pharmacies out of business.
A new Arkansas law, Act 624, bans PBMs from holding permits for prescription drug sales. In response, pharmacy giant CVS has said it might have to close all 23 of its pharmacies in Arkansas. CVS owns one of the Big Three PBMs, called Caremark. CVS has also <a href="https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2025/05/29/express-scripts-sues-arkansas-over-new-law-banning-pbms-from-owning-pharmacies">filed suit</a> against the state to prevent the law from going into effect – Express Scripts, another of the Big Three, has also sued the state.
“PBMs [are supposed] to negotiate better drug prices between the insurance companies and the pharmacies,” Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) told The Daily Wire. “But what was actually happening is the pharmacies were buying the PBMs and completely controlling and monopolizing the market. We call ‘em drug middlemen because that’s exactly what they are. They’re over-inflating prices and passing that inflation down to the consumer. … You had three of the largest PBMs in the country controlling 80% of the pharmaceutical market – complete control allows them to charge more.”
Sanders told The Daily Wire that this law is intended to help small pharmacies keep their doors open and criticized CVS for its response. “It shows where their priorities are. They would rather own the PBM than keep their pharmacy open and provide care to the patients they claim to care about. … I&#8217;m all for private industry making money, but not on the backs of the people who really need access to care.”
About a month after Gov. Sanders signed the act into law, President Donald Trump targeted PBMs with an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-put-american-patients-first-by-lowering-drug-prices-and-stopping-foreign-free-riding-on-american-pharmaceutical-innovation/">executive order</a>. The order encourages direct consumer purchases, cutting out the middlemen, and mandates more pricing transparency. Sanders said this momentum is building across the country and told The Daily Wire that she hopes consumers will have more access and see lower prices for prescription drugs once this law goes into effect next year.
<h2>FTC Probes Ad Collusion</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928915" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_22.Still002.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_22.Still002.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_22.Still002-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Media Matters and about a dozen other groups for allegedly pushing advertisers to boycott social media platforms over controversial content.
The FTC is probing whether Media Matters and these other groups violated antitrust law by mobilizing advertisers to boycott platforms like X – to prevent their ads from appearing next to content deemed controversial. The commission is also targeting Ad Fontes Media, which rates media outlets’ biases, investigating the group for “possible collusion.”
Some of the groups that are under investigation help brands choose where to place ads across the internet, and some of the groups, like Media Matters, call out so-called “hateful content” online. More than a dozen organizations are under investigation, and lawyers for the groups said the FTC requested broad information about their business practices.
“I’m concerned about advertiser collusion,” FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwAPMhdq5c4">said</a> last week. “If you’ve got an idea and you want the world to know it, you need eyeballs. … You talk online, and advertisers advertise next to what you’re saying, and they make money off of that, but if advertisers are getting into a back room somewhere and agreeing, &#8216;we’re not going to advertise next to that guy’s speech,&#8217; right, that is a real problem, and it is a form of concerted refusal to deal that the antitrust laws have long prohibited.”
Ferguson also argued that the FTC’s investigation was nonpartisan – while he agreed that conservatives were disproportionately being targeted, the same principle would apply to progressive speech. “I don’t think anyone on the Left would be comfortable with the idea of a bunch of large businesses getting into a back room and saying, &#8216;hey, whenever anyone says anything favorable about abortion, we’re not advertising next to that, right?&#8217; I don’t think the Left would like that any more than the Right would like the idea that such collusion could be affecting their speech.”
X CEO Elon Musk sued Media Matters in 2023 over this issue, accusing the leftist group of trying to stop advertisers from purchasing ads on X. That lawsuit is ongoing.

Topline: As Ukraine and Russia meet this week for peace talks, a growing list of European countries have elected right-wing leaders amid growing anti-immigration sentiment.
In the last 24 hours, we’ve learned more about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-ukraine-pulled-off-its-massive-drone-strike-inside-russia">Ukraine’s surprise attack</a> on Russia last weekend. The Ukrainians managed to smuggle scores of attack drones across the border, where they were launched from wooden sheds mounted on the backs of large moving trucks. Because those drones originated within Russian territory, they were able to bypass Putin’s extensive air defense systems, targeting five separate air bases and knocking out dozens of the country’s most important planes. According to some estimates, Ukraine successfully destroyed up to one-third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. 
The strikes came at a crucial time, as the two countries began meeting Monday in Istanbul for formal peace talks. Those talks concluded after just 90 minutes, and little progress had been made. Moscow finally presented its terms for peace: Ukraine must recognize all of Russia’s territorial gains, shrink the size of its military, change its official language to Russian, agree to long-term neutrality, and forfeit the right to join NATO.
Meanwhile, Poland elected right-winger Karol Narwocki to the presidency. Many have compared the 42-year-old Narwocki, who had no prior political experience, to Donald Trump, who openly supported Narwocki’s campaign. Narwocki even adopted a similar campaign slogan: “Poland First.&#8221; Among other things, he campaigned on a promise to withdraw from the European Union’s Migration Pact, which he said flooded the continent with illegal immigrants. He’s staunchly pro-life, against same-sex marriage, and has called for a return of Christian values to public life in his country. 
Narwocki has signed a pledge to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO — and like Trump, he’s accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of not showing enough gratitude for the support his country has given Ukraine for its war effort. 
In the last year, conservatives have made historic gains across the continent — largely by promising to crack down on illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East. In Austria, the country’s right-wing Freedom Party won control of parliament — the first time a hardline Conservative Party had won since World War II. Then, conservatives made historic gains in Germany, with the right-wing AfD party surging. And last week, Portugal’s right-wing Chega party scored a number of victories to become the country’s leading opposition party. 
In Paris this week, we’ve seen mass rioting following a big soccer victory – sparking conversations about law and order and immigration policies in France.
Some left-wing politicians have even adopted a more conservative tone. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for example, has promised to “significantly” cut down on immigration over the next four years, restrict new visas for skilled labor, and penalize companies that hire foreign labor.
“The experiment is over,” Starmer <a href="https://x.com/addicted2newz/status/1929076924392903007">said</a>. “We will deliver what you’ve asked for time and again. And we will take back control of our borders.”

<h2>Boulder Terror Suspect Charged With Multiple Felonies</h2>

Topline: The man suspected of attacking a Colorado demonstration in support of Israeli hostages has been hit with multiple charges, including a federal hate crime.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is being held in Boulder County Jail on a $10 million bond.  At the state level, he’s facing felony <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder">charges</a> for first-degree assault and “extreme indifference” to criminal use of an incendiary device – as well as crimes against the elderly. Federal prosecutors have charged Soliman with a hate crime. The special agent in charge at the FBI’s Denver office, Mark Michalek, said the bureau is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism.
None of the people injured in the attack has died. Soliman himself was treated for burn injuries before he was booked. Police say Soliman received those injuries using a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to attack demonstrators.
Soliman is an Egyptian national. He entered the United States in 2022 on a visa that then expired the next year. He was able to obtain a temporary work permit from the Biden administration, but that, too, expired in March this year. Trump said in a social media post on Monday that Soliman “came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly.” The president went on to say: “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.”
In an interview with the FBI, Soliman said that he wanted to kill “Zionists.” Law enforcement also says he screamed “free Palestine” during his assault. The demonstration targeted in the attack was a weekly march in support of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza. The FBI said that Soliman had planned this attack for at least a year and targeted what he called a “Zionist group.” Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis called it a “targeted attack on the Jewish community.”

<h2>Department Of Labor &#8220;Pauses&#8221; Job Corps Program</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928429" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: The Department of Labor last week said it was “pausing” most operations at the Job Corps, a $1.7 billion program that trains high school dropouts on residential campuses across the country.
Job Corps was spending an average of $80,000 a year per student, training them to go on to earn an average of $16,000 a year. That’s more than Harvard charges for tuition to essentially get them minimum wage. At one campus run by ODLE Management Group LLC, the cost was $764,000 per graduate.
The Job Corps operates about 130 campuses across the country, where troubled young adults are paid $1,200, plus living expenses, to take classes towards their GED or training in the trades. Most campuses are run by companies whose staff are paid bonuses based on how many people they recruit, and how many get a job afterwards. Reports found that contractors were faking job statistics to make it look like the training worked, and were looking the other way at criminal behavior on campus, because if they expelled students, they’d get less revenue.
“The Trump administration has terminated all contracts with companies,” Daily Wire Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak told Morning Wire. “About one-fifth of campuses are operated by the Department of Agriculture, and those will remain open. So this is really targeted towards preventing contractors from abusing the taxpayer and using at-risk youth as a cash cow.”
Other forms of exploitation were also common. Discipline data from the Job Corps campuses show that there were 500 sex assaults and 5,000 violent assaults in the last three years. That includes a 16-year old transgender runaway who was ordered to live with a 23-year-old man who was later arrested for raping her. &#8220;One-third of students are expelled, one-third abscond, and one-third graduate,” Rosiak said. “To enroll, you’re required to be on welfare, a refugee, a high school dropout, illiterate, or a victim of sex trafficking.”

The man accused of using a makeshift flamethrower and molotov cocktails to attack a demonstration in support of hostages in Gaza originally planned to use a gun, according to Boulder County officials.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/02/us-news/boulder-terror-attack-suspect-planned-mass-shooting-but-was-stopped-from-buying-gun-due-to-immigration-status/">said</a> in a press conference Monday afternoon that Mohamed Sabry Soliman attempted to purchase a gun to attack demonstrators, but was blocked by gun laws.
Soliman planned the attack for at least a year, according to authorities. His initial plan involved using a firearm. He took a concealed carry class to learn how to shoot. But when he attempted to buy a gun, he was stopped because his visa had expired, Dougherty said.
Documents filed in a state court say that Soliman “had to use Molotov cocktails after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen,” according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/boulder-attack-suspect-us-illegally-homeland-security/story?id=122409898">ABC News</a>.
Soliman “researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them,” the documents say.
The suspect is an Egyptian national who is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder">said</a> Monday that Soliman is in the United States on an expired visa.

“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”
Boulder County prosecutors have charged Soliman with 16 counts of first degree murder, as well as using incendiary devices to commit a felony and assault. Soliman faces over 600 years in prison if convicted on all charges, according to Dougherty.
Soliman allegedly attacked the group of demonstrators with a makeshift flamethrower and firebombs. A dozen people so far have reported injuries from the attack. None of the victims have died.
FBI Director Kash Patel called the incident a “targeted terror attack.” Federal prosecutors have charged Soliman with a hate crime.
Soliman told investigators that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” The suspect said that “this had nothing to do with the Jewish community and was specific in the Zionist group supporting the killings of people on his land,” according to court documents.

U.S.

WASHINGTON—The Education Department has launched two investigations into high-profile, Title IX-related cases that occurred during President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, The Daily Wire can first report.
As part of its observance of the first &#8220;Title IX Month&#8221; — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-education-department-celebrates-title-ix-month-ditches-pride-month">celebrated in place of Pride Month</a> — the Education Department will launch probes into the University of Wyoming and Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado. These investigations will be conducted by the Education Department&#8217;s Office for Civil Rights.
Each of these probes will deal with a case that garnered national outrage and attention for allowing males in intimate female spaces.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
NEW: The Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” rather than Pride Month. It&#8217;s also launching probes into two high-profile cases that developed under President Biden&#8217;s watch: one in Colorado and the other in Wyoming.
Details first in <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDailyWire</a>: <a href="https://t.co/SZDmjvWMoT">pic.twitter.com/SZDmjvWMoT</a>
— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) <a href="https://twitter.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1929630381952897482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 2, 2025</a></blockquote>
<h3>University of Wyoming</h3>
Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming sued the university and Artemis Langford, a male who identifies as a woman, after Langford joined their sorority and lived in their sorority house. The girls accused Langford of watching them shower and change and making inappropriate comments — and having visible erections as he watched them.
“Langford states that he is transgender and that he self-identifies as a woman. His behavior, however, does not reflect a man living as a woman let alone a man attempting to ‘consistently live’ as a woman,” the girls said in their lawsuit, as The Daily Wire&#8217;s Leif Le Mahieu <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-against-man-who-joined-wyoming-sorority-dismissed-by-federal-judge">previously reported</a>. “Other than occasionally wearing women’s clothing, Langford makes little effort to resemble a woman. He has not undergone treatments to create a more feminine appearance, such as female hormones, feminization surgery, or laser hair removal.”
In August 2023, the lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge who declined to define what a woman was.
“The University of Wyoming chapter voted to admit — and, more broadly, a sorority of hundreds of thousands approved — Langford. With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the Court will not define ‘woman’ today,&#8221; wrote U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson, a Reagan appointee, in his decision. &#8220;The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted ‘woman,’ otherwise undefined in the nonprofit’s bylaws, expansively; this Judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge.&#8221;
The University of Wyoming did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
<h3>Jefferson County Public Schools</h3>
The second investigation deals with Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado, where an 11-year-old girl was assigned to share a bed with a male student who identifies as a transgender girl while on a cross-country school trip, as The Daily Signal first reported. This was not the only incident of its kind within the district, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-school-district-allowed-trans-identifying-female-to-supervise-little-boys-showering-lawsuit-alleges">The Daily Wire reported</a>.
Jefferson County School District’s “Transgender Students” policy requires that all students on overnight visits are to be roomed by their gender identity, rather than their actual sex, according to a September 2024 lawsuit first reported by The Daily Wire.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
NEW: This week we sat down with Joe + Serena Wailes, the parents of an 11-year-old girl shocked to discover on her school trip that she had been assigned to share a bed with a boy who identified as a trans girl.
Joe and Serena share their nightmare story with <a href="https://twitter.com/DailySignal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DailySignal</a>: <a href="https://t.co/w847Oi7nnO">pic.twitter.com/w847Oi7nnO</a>

Though the district shared this policy with trans-identifying students and chaperones, it did not share the policy with students or their parents, who were unaware of the policy until their children found themselves rooming with students and chaperones of the opposite gender on trips.
“I was really upset,” the child&#8217;s mother, Serena Wailes, <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/12/04/exclusive-school-assigned-girl-sleep-boy-who-identifies-trans-parental-notification/">told The Daily Signal in December 2023</a>. “One, I was really upset that she was put in that situation at 11 years old—I don’t feel that is fair to put kids in that kind of situation—and two, that we were not even given the information that this was a possibility before the trip. The whole time they’re saying, ‘Girls on one floor, boys on another, they’re not going to be in each other’s rooms unless it is pre-approved.’ So we’re going through this whole process, not even recognizing that this is a possibility.”
The girl&#8217;s father, Joe Wailes, told The Daily Signal that his wife called him from the hotel and filled him in on what had occurred.
“I felt a bit helpless,” he said at the time. “I was 2,000 miles away. My daughter is scared in a bathroom trying to get herself out of a situation. It was a frustrating experience, and I just really felt like it was not a situation my daughter should be put in.”
In another instance, according to the 2024 lawsuit, the school district placed an 18-year-old female student— who identified as a man but only a week earlier had identified as female — in a cabin with 11 and 12-year-old boys, where she allegedly supervised their changing and showering.
Jefferson County Public Schools did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

EXCLUSIVE: Education Department Probes Two Schools That Let Men In Women’s Spaces

Weeks before an illegal immigrant threw a Molotov cocktail at a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado, Democrats in the state passed legislation that would make it even harder to identify criminals like the man who told authorities he had been planning the attack for a year while illegally in the country.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national and illegal alien, is believed to have entered the United States on a visa before he was granted work authorization by the Biden administration, which he overstayed after it expired in March. Federal court <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929583795805524440">filings</a> say that Soliman not only admitted to the attack, but said that he wanted to kill all “zionists.”
Just weeks before the attack, Colorado Democrats passed legislation aimed at hindering Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) ability to find and deport illegal aliens. The bill, signed by Governor Jared Polis in late May, <a href="https://coloradoimmigrant.org/governor-signs-sb25-276-into-law-strengthening-constitutional-rights-for-immigrant-families-and-all-coloradans/#:~:text=Denver%2C%20CO%20%E2%80%94%20Today%2C%20Governor,Coloradans%E2%80%94regardless%20of%20immigration%20status.">bars law enforcement</a> in the state from respecting ICE detainer requests, which the federal agency uses to gain custody of illegal aliens who have been placed in local jails after being arrested for crimes.
The legislation was marketed as a way to counter the Trump administration&#8217;s crackdown on illegal immigration by Democrats in the state.
“One of the reasons why I appreciate this bill so much is that it is one of few that is really taking seriously the crisis that the federal administration poses for immigrants in particular and for marginalized people generally,” <a href="https://coloradonewsline.com/2025/05/03/colorado-immigrant-protection-bill-as-justice-department-sues-state/">said</a> Democrat state representative Yara Zokaie.

The law <a href="https://coloradonewsline.com/2025/05/03/colorado-immigrant-protection-bill-as-justice-department-sues-state/#:~:text=The%20bill%20would%20prohibit%20local,warrant%20signed%20by%20a%20judge.">prevents</a> city and county governments from sharing data, like identifying information and immigration status information, with ICE, making it significantly harder for the federal law enforcement agency to track down illegal aliens in Colorado.
It also imposes steep penalties on those working with ICE. State agencies and local governments could be fined up to $50,000 for violating the law, with the money earmarked for a state-run deportation defense fund.
Called the <a href="https://ona.colorado.gov/our-work/immigration-legal-defense-fund">Immigration Legal Defense Fund</a>, the initiative “provides free immigration legal services to help Coloradans and those detained in Colorado with their immigration court proceedings.” Potential beneficiaries of the program only have to demonstrate that they are in Colorado, have been placed in deportation proceedings, and cannot afford legal defense.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller <a href="https://x.com/StephenM/status/1929354625104109637">pointed</a> to “suicidal migration” policies as one of the factors that led to the terror attack in Colorado.
“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 said.  “Suicidal migration must be fully reversed.”

President Donald Trump jabbed at former President Joe Biden and his lax immigration policies when he responded on Monday to the &#8220;horrific attack&#8221; that took place on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado.
Trump delivered his statement in a post shared on his Truth Social platform on Monday, saying that the alleged perpetrator had only been in the United States because Biden&#8217;s refusal to secure the southern border had allowed him and others like him to cross freely into the country.
&#8220;Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He must go out under &#8216;TRUMP&#8217; Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!&#8221;
The suspect in the case, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is in the United States illegally after overstaying his visa, reportedly used a flamethrower of his own making when he attacked people involved in a pro-Israel demonstration. He burned eight people, ranging in age from 52 to 88, and left several injured — including one who remains in critical condition.
Soliman, according to authorities, shouted &#8220;Free Palestine!&#8221; as he carried out the attack.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with &#8220;America Reports&#8221; anchors Sandra Smith and John Roberts on Fox News on Monday, calling it a &#8220;despicable act&#8221; and doubling down on the administration&#8217;s vow to keep those who are not supposed to be in the United States out of the country through stronger immigration policies and enforcement.

A man who was in the United States illegally is facing charges related to attempted murder, assault, and incendiary devices over an attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado over the weekend.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is suspected of attacking demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday with a makeshift flamethrower and fire bombs. He was booked in Boulder County Jail on Sunday night after being treated for some burn wounds sustained in the attack. He is being held on a $10 million bond, according to <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">The Guardian</a>.
Soliman is charged with a federal hate crime. <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929583795805524440">According</a> to court documents, he admitted he wanted to kill all Zionist people and spent a year planning Sunday&#8217;s attack on a &#8220;Zionist group.&#8221;
Soliman is facing a slew of charges related to the attack, according to the Boulder County <a href="https://bouldercounty.gov/safety/jail/listing-and-booking-reports/">website</a>. Those charges include first-degree assault – heat of passion, use of an incendiary device during a felony, crimes against the elderly, murder in the first degree – extreme indifference.
The attack wounded eight people, none of whom have died, according to <a href="https://x.com/boulderpolice/status/1929544758738751982">Boulder police</a>.
Soliman, 45, allegedly yelled “free Palestine” during the attack. Video shows Soliman holding bottles of a clear liquid that were allegedly makeshift incendiary devices. The FBI said that the suspect also used a “makeshift flamethrower” during the attack.
The FBI has called the attack a “targeted act of violence.”
“We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,” FBI director Kash Patel <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/boulder-colorado-suspected-terror-attack-suspect-mohamed-sabry-soliman-faces-murder-assault-other-charges">said</a>. “Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.”

The attack targeted a demonstration by “Run for Their Lives Denver,” which was leading a march calling for the release of hostages taken by the terror group Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that Soliman is in the United States illegally on an overstayed visa.
“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” said McLaughlin. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called the attack a “heinous and targeted act on the Jewish community,” in a statement.
“As the Jewish community reels from the recent antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the community is facing another antisemitic attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot,” said Polis. “Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 604 days. Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

<h2>United States &amp; China Trade Barbs At Asian Security Summit</h2>

Topline: Tensions between the United States and China flare up amid a major defense summit in Asia.
A major defense summit in Asia called the Shangri-La Dialogue that began Saturday has already led to some positive partnerships – as well as the U.S. and China trading barbs. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned about China’s growing military threat, while China accused the United States of “stoking flames and creating tensions in the Asia-Pacific.”
“China is ‘preparing to use military force’ to alter the situation there in Asia,” Hegseth <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/world/video/hegseth-singapore-china-threat-taiwan-vrtc">said</a>. “There’s no reason to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told The Daily Wire that despite saber rattling from Beijing, it’s unlikely that they’ll engage in military action against regional rivals in the immediate future. Gabbard also told The Daily Wire that much of the conference was spent working with allies to shape policy on a range of issues, not only with respect to China, but also counterterrorism operations and joint law enforcement efforts against cartels and other international criminal organizations engaged in drug trafficking, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and other illegal enterprises across international borders.
“The overwhelming message that [Secretary Hegseth] delivered is the message that we hear from President Trump, which is that he is the president of peace,” Gabbard said. “The goal here within this region, as well as in others around the world, is to be able to achieve that … to come together and engage in dialogue, engage in diplomacy … [and] best pursue our goal of peace and stability that best serve our respective peoples in our countries and around the world.”

Topline: The debate over transgender-identifying athletes in women’s sports is flaring up again, this time in California, where, in defiance of federal policy, a 16-year-old male won two state track and field titles.
On Saturday, protesters gathered outside a stadium in Clovis, California, which was hosting the California Interscholastic Federation State Track and Field Championships. AB Hernandez, a junior male athlete, took first place in the girls’ high jump and triple jump, and second in the long jump. Some held “Save Girls’ Sports” signs, while others supported Hernandez with pro-transgender messages. An airplane even flew overhead with a banner reading “No Boys in Girls’ Sports,” funded by groups like the Independent Council on Women’s Sports. Meanwhile, a pro-trans protester was arrested for assaulting a “Save Girls’ Sports” demonstrator.
Hernandez’s victory flies directly in the face of President Trump’s February 5 executive order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,&#8221; which bars boys who identify as girls from competing in women’s and girls’ sports, citing fairness for female athletes. Trump specifically called out Hernandez on social media, claiming he’s “practically unbeatable,” and threatened to cut federal funding to California if Hernandez competed. California, however, upheld its state law, which allows transgender-identifying students to play based on their professed gender identity.
The U.S. Department of Justice has now launched a Title IX investigation into whether California’s policies violate girls’ rights.
Julie Hamill, President of the California Justice Center, told <a href="https://x.com/JenniferSey/status/1928801014678696268">CNN</a> that California deserves to lose federal funding over its defiance of Title IX policy, and she thinks Hernandez is being mistreated here as well.
“I view AB Hernandez as the victim in this situation,” Hamill said. “I feel for him, and I feel that he has been lied to for his entire life, and it&#8217;s probably very destabilizing and difficult for him right now to realize that what he&#8217;s been told is not actually reality. He cannot become a girl. What he can do is compete in the male category.”

Topline: President Trump hammers out a massive steel deal that Pennsylvania officials say could transform the industry.
President Trump announced a blockbuster deal to bring billions of dollars in new investments to the American steel industry. The news comes as a near record number of Americans say the country is heading in the right direction.
In 2023, Japan’s Nippon Steel offered $15 billion to acquire the iconic U.S. Steel, the second-largest steel producer in America. The company’s board and shareholders approved the sale, but President Joe Biden blocked the acquisition, saying it was critical to national security to maintain American ownership of U.S. Steel. But over the weekend, President Trump announced that after lengthy negotiations, Nippon had agreed to a merger that would preserve American ownership of U.S. Steel. The agreement requires that a majority of the company’s board be American citizens, and C-suite employees, including the CEO, must be American as well. The U.S. government itself will hold a “golden share” of the company, giving it veto power over key decisions.
“We&#8217;re going to produce our own metal, unleash our own energy, secure our own future, build our country, control our destiny,” Trump said during the announcement in Pennsylvania. “We are once again going to put Pennsylvania steel into the backbone of America like never before.”
As part of the agreement, Nippon will invest more than $14 billion into new steel facilities across Indiana, Minnesota, Arkansas, and Alabama — some estimates say the deal will create nearly 150,000 new American jobs. According to Trump, every U.S. Steel employee will receive a $5,000 bonus. As part of his effort to protect American steel manufacturing, the president also announced he would double the tariff on foreign steel from 25% to 50%.
Last month, amid tariff uncertainty and fears of a recession, President Trump’s <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating">job approval rating</a> was on the decline, falling on average to 45% approval and 52% disapproval. But following a flurry of trade deals and encouraging jobs and inflation reports, he’s gaining ground fast and is now less than two points underwater, with a 48% average approval rating, which is higher than at any point in his first term. Nearly 44% of Americans now say the country is on the right track, the highest share since President Barack Obama’s first year in office in 2009.
<h2>Egyptian National Attacks Pro-Israel Demonstration, Detained By Authorities</h2>
At least six people were injured Sunday afternoon in a firebombing attack at a pro-Israel event in Boulder, Colorado. Police say victims suffered “injuries consistent with burns.” Officials detained the suspect and have since identified him as Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Three DHS senior officials told <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1929343593602597179">Fox News</a> that the suspect is an Egyptian national who illegally overstayed his visa after entering the United States during the Biden administration. FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau is “fully investigating” what they believe to be a “targeted terror attack.”

Multiple people were injured Sunday in a firebombing attack at an event in Boulder, Colorado, meant to show support for hostages kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7, 2023, assault on Israel, officials said.
In a press conference, Boulder Police Chief Steven Redfearn <a href="https://x.com/boulderpolice/status/1929297731769536683" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> officers arrived on the scene in response to reports of people being set on fire before 2 p.m. local time and found victims with &#8220;injuries consistent with burns and other injuries.&#8221; They were sent to the hospital, he said.
An adult male suspect was detained and also taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Redfearn said.
Officials are investigating the attack. Redfearn noted that he could not ID the suspect right away.
&#8220;This act is unacceptable,&#8221; Redfearn said.

Earlier, on X, the Boulder Police Department said it was responding to a &#8220;report of an attack&#8221; at 13th and Pearl Streets with &#8220;reports of several victims.&#8221; Police established an evacuation area and advised people to steer clear.
The FBI also responded.
&#8220;We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1929287827130372291" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> FBI Director Kash Patel.
Redfearn said he could not immediately confirm a motive, but did acknowledge that a &#8220;peaceful demonstration&#8221; by a pro-Israel group was going on at the scene in a busy area.
Video <a href="https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1929285153899077682" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to social media appeared to show smoke rising out of a park where some people were screaming and lying on the ground.
&#8220;We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/avivaklompas/status/1929291509079154767?s=46&amp;t=ghpHusspWPjTMisXwpsMaA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a statement from Boulder&#8217;s Jewish Community.
There were unconfirmed images <a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1929297392450351110" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to social media showing a shirtless man, apparently the suspect, holding what appeared to be molotov cocktails. One video showed the man <a href="https://x.com/just_whatever/status/1929297646700613852" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shouting</a> &#8220;end Zionists&#8221; and other things.
&#8220;FBI personnel are on the scene in Boulder, Colorado, along with local law enforcement,&#8221; FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino <a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1929289348307890451" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;We are investigating this incident as an act of terror, and targeted violence. All of the necessary assets will be dedicated to this investigation. If you have any investigative tips please contact the FBI. And if you aided or abetted this attack, we will find you. You cannot hide.&#8221;
Among the others who commented on the attack was Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat.
&#8220;I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror,&#8221; Polis <a href="https://x.com/GovofCO/status/1929288761139188042" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X. &#8220;Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable.
