A Chinese national from Wuhan studying for a PhD was arrested on Sunday for attempting to smuggle &#8220;biological materials&#8221; into a laboratory at the University of Michigan, the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/alien-wuhan-china-charged-making-false-statements-and-smuggling-biological-materials">announced</a> on Monday.
The arrest of Chengxuan Han at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport is the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-arrest-chinese-scholar-for-attempting-to-smuggle-pathogen-used-for-agroterrorism-into-u-s">second time</a> this month that a Chinese citizen with connections to the University of Michigan has been charged with smuggling potential biological threats into the country. According to the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, Han sent four packages containing &#8220;concealed biological material&#8221; from China to the United States. The packages were all addressed to people &#8220;associated with a laboratory at the University of Michigan,&#8221; the DOJ said in a press release.
“The alleged smuggling of biological materials by this alien from a science and technology university in Wuhan, China—to be used at a University of Michigan laboratory—is part of an alarming pattern that threatens our security. The American taxpayer should not be underwriting a PRC-based smuggling operation at one of our crucial public institutions.”
Han is studying at a university in Wuhan — the city where the COVID virus likely leaked from a lab before it shut down the world&#8217;s economies and killed millions of people. The Chinese PhD student was questioned by Customs and Border Protection officers at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Sunday. During the questioning, Han &#8220;made false statements about the packages and the biological materials she had previously shipped to the United States,&#8221; which she later admitted to the FBI, according to the DOJ.

Han also allegedly told the FBI that she had previously sent the packages and said that they contained biological material related to <a href="https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2023/bioluminescence-may-shine-light-on-roundworm-secrets/#:~:text=Even%20though%20roundworms%20are%20nearly,crop%20losses%20worldwide%20each%20year.">roundworms</a>, a parasitic worm that can &#8220;pose major problems in corn, soybean, peanut and other crops,&#8221; according to the U.S. government. There are many species of roundworms, many of which are uncommon in the United States. Some can cause health issues for humans, such as abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea, if they get into the digestive system, the Cleveland Clinic <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15240-roundworms">states</a>.
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed last week that a Chinese scholar at the University of Michigan was arrested and charged with attempting to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States that could be used for agricultural terrorism, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-arrest-chinese-scholar-for-attempting-to-smuggle-pathogen-used-for-agroterrorism-into-u-s">reported</a>.
According to federal prosecutors, Michigan scholar Yunqing Jian, along with her boyfriend, Zunyong Liu, tried to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/chinese-nationals-charged-conspiracy-and-smuggling-dangerous-biological-pathogen-us">smuggle</a> Fusarium graminearum into the United States. Fusarium graminearum can cause “head blight,” a disease that can wipe out wheat, barley, maize, and rice crops and “is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.” The pathogen can also cause “vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.”

Even as violent protesters swarmed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, attacking federal agents and their vehicles with bricks and other projectiles, the ICE agents were able to successfully detain and even begin to deport a number of the dangerous criminal aliens who were the targets of raids throughout the Los Angeles area.
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reported late Saturday on several who had already been arrested by ICE agents, laying out a list of criminal aliens that included sex offenders, gang members, and others who had been convicted on gun and drug charges.
&#8220;BREAKING: Federal sources ID some of the criminal illegal alien targets ICE arrested in their LA operation yesterday &amp; today, which sparked violent protests,&#8221; Melugin posted via X. &#8220;They include multiple gang members, convicted sex offenders, violent gun offenders, &amp; drug offenders. One has already been deported.&#8221;
&#8220;They include: Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a national of the Philippines who has prior convictions for sexual penetration with a foreign object, assault with intent to commit rape, and burglary, all in California. ARMANDO ORDAZ, a Mexican national &amp; known gang member with a convictions for sexual battery, receiving stolen property, and theft in Los Angeles. VICTOR MENDOZA-AGUILAR, a previously deported Mexican national &amp; known gang member with convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, and possessing drug paraphernalia.

The clashes between protesters and ICE agents got so chaotic that President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to assist in keeping order.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino weighed in after Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at several locations across the greater Los Angeles area erupted into clashes — some of them violent — between federal agents and protesters.
After the FBI had to be called in on at least one such confrontation on Friday, Bongino made it clear in a post on X that federal agents would not be deterred from doing their jobs — and he promised that anyone who attempted to interfere with them doing their jobs would face consequences.
&#8220;The Right to assemble and protest does not include a license to attack law enforcement officers, or to impede and obstruct our lawful immigration operations,&#8221; Bongino said. &#8220;We are thoroughly reviewing the evidence from yesterday’s incident in Los Angeles and we are working with the US Attorney’s Office to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. The days of chaos ruling the streets are over. Either obey the law, or go to jail, there’s no third option.&#8221;

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin clarified the situation, noting that the raids were specifically targeting illegal aliens who already had active deportation orders or had committed other crimes.

Protesters found it and began gathering. ICE will conduct targeted enforcement around LA today, serving criminal judicial warrants and enforcing final orders of removal/deportation orders. CBP and Border Patrol have been brought in to provide security and extra bodies, and a handful of agitators have already been arrested today for allegedly interfering with federal agents. Despite inflammatory statements from local politicians making it sound like ICE is sweeping neighborhoods in SoCal &amp; kicking doors down, they are targeting those who already have a deportation orders or who have criminality that has been signed off on by a federal judge. If others are found with the targets and they are also illegal aliens, they will be arrested too. This is enforcement of bipartisan immigration laws that have been on the books for decades.&#8221;

FBI Director Kash Patel left popular podcast host Joe Rogan in shock when he revealed that he&#8217;d been swatted just one day prior to his appearance on Rogan&#8217;s show.
Patel let the information slip while he and Rogan recorded &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; episode that dropped on Friday, and the host visibly recoiled at the thought. &#8220;The head of the FBI gets swatted?&#8221; Rogan asked in apparent disbelief, his eyebrows raised.

&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Patel repeated. &#8220;Yeah. These people play — it&#8217;s the ultimate height of hypocrisy. They have two sets of rules. One against you, and one for them.&#8221;
During the same interview, both Rogan and Patel appeared to be caught off guard by news of the very public spat between President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — largely over Trump&#8217;s support for the One, Big Beautiful Bill currently before the U.S. Senate.
Patel quickly made it clear that he did not want any part of that conversation, and Rogan suggested that someone might need to take Musk&#8217;s phone away — at least on a temporary basis.
&#8220;What is he doing? Someone should take his phone away,&#8221; Rogan said.

WASHINGTON—The FBI has received dozens of tips over the past three days regarding surgical transgender procedures on children, The Daily Wire has learned. 
The bureau took to social media Monday to ask Americans to report any evidence of medical professionals performing irreversible transgender procedures on minors. As of Thursday morning, the Daily Wire can first report, the FBI said it had received at least 100 tips.
The move comes as President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration scrutinizes the transgender medicine industry, which has long pushed &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; as &#8220;medically necessary&#8221; for those experiencing gender dysphoria — even children.
Erica Knight, an advisor to FBI Director Kash Patel and mother of three, told The Daily Wire that the bureau will &#8220;never stop fighting for our most vulnerable — our children.&#8221;
&#8220;As a mother, I’m deeply grateful and proud to know the future of America’s kids is one rooted in safety, strength, and opportunity,&#8221; she said.
Gender affirming care is a euphemism for transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers. Under President Joe Biden, the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-early-trans-surgeries-hormones-are-crucial-for-kids-teens-who-identify-as-trans">claimed</a> that &#8220;early” transgender surgeries, hormone treatment, and affirmations were “crucial” for the health of kids and teens who identify as transgender and nonbinary.
&#8220;Help the FBI protect children,&#8221; the bureau posted on X Monday. &#8220;As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care.&#8221; 
The post encouraged Americans to &#8220;report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children.&#8221;

Following the FBI&#8217;s announcement, outlets like Axios framed the call for tips as a call for &#8220;tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children,&#8221; claiming that &#8220;gender-affirming surgery is <a class="gtmContentClick" href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/hhs-report-gender-care-risk" target="_self" rel="noopener" data-vars-link-text="rare" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/hhs-report-gender-care-risk" data-vars-content-id="e16ea1c5-801c-4670-bb5c-6e4cc747c29d" data-vars-headline="FBI seeks tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link">rare</a> in adolescents and <a class="gtmContentClick" href="https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/gender-dysphoria-gender-incongruence#2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-vars-link-text="considered" data-vars-click-url="https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/gender-dysphoria-gender-incongruence#2" data-vars-content-id="e16ea1c5-801c-4670-bb5c-6e4cc747c29d" data-vars-headline="FBI seeks tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link">considered</a> on a case-by-case basis.&#8221; Axios also cited activist claims that so-called &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; improves the mental health of kids who think they were born in the wrong body.
In response to the framing, FBI spokesman Ben Williamson responded: &#8220;Actually what we said was we would like tips on any hospitals or clinics who break the law and mutilate children under the guise of &#8216;gender affirming care.&#8217; And we do. 1-800-CALL-FBI or <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://t.co/gMDApktznD" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">http://tips.fbi.gov</a>.

Trump made protecting children from transgender procedures a major part of his campaign. The issue brought together Americans across the cultural spectrum, united in the interest of protecting young people from decisions they could not reverse.
Commentators, lawmakers, people <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/01/24/transsexual-slams-planned-parenthood-aclu-womens-sports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who identify as transgender</a>, and people who have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/detransitioners-flood-social-media-with-testimony-photos-the-darkest-time-in-my-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted transitions</a> have expressed grave concerns about encouraging children or young people to explore transitions of any kind.

The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-federal-trade-commission-is-setting-its-sights-on-transgender-procedures-on-kids?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Federal+Trade+Commission+Sets+Sights+On+Transgender+Procedures+On+Kids">reported last month</a> that the Federal Trade Commission is setting its sights on the industry pushing transgender medical procedures on minors, a potential major step in the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on radical gender ideology.
The FTC will hold a day-long workshop in July on transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers, according to an internal memo obtained by The Daily Wire. The purpose of the workshop is to build on President Trump’s executive order ending the federal government’s support for so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors.
While transgender advocates claim that performing transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blocker procedures on children will cause them to be less suicidal, the FTC memo notes that “a growing chorus of experts now publicly contradict these claims.&#8221; It also points out that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently called transgender procedures “in truth still experimental.”
The president signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> in January protecting children from irreversible gender transition procedures. The order describes the transgender procedures that doctors and activists have pushed upon children in recent years, and states that the United States will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the attempted gender transition of a child, promising that it will “rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” the order states. “This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.”

Federal authorities have arrested a suspected accomplice to a man who committed a suicidal terror attack against a California fertility clinic last month.
FBI agents arrested Daniel Park, 32, in New York after he was extradited to the United States from Poland. Authorities <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/washington-state-man-arrested-federal-charges-alleging-he-provided-material-support-palm">say</a> Park provided “significant quantities of ammonium nitrate” to Guy Bartkus, who died bombing a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, last month.
“Let this be a reminder: If you harm the American people, or aid and abet those who do, you cannot hide. This FBI will work with our partners to pursue you, find you, and bring you to justice — in any corner of the planet,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement on X.

Attorney General Pam Bondi secured extradition for Park to the United States while she was on a trip to Poland this week. Park had been detained in Poland for two weeks until the attorney general’s visit and his extradition.
“Bringing chaos and violence to a facility that exists to help women and mothers is a particularly cruel, disgusting crime that strikes at the very heart of our shared humanity,&#8221; Bondi said in a statement to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/04/bondi-extradite-poland-daniel-jongyon-park">Axios</a>, which first reported on Park’s extradition.
Bartkus attacked the Palm Springs American Reproductive Centers clinic on May 17. Bartkus drove a car with a bomb inside to the clinic and detonated it, killing himself. Others wounded in the blast have since been treated and released from hospital care.
The blast from the bomb was strong enough to <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/19/nx-s1-5403669/what-we-know-palm-springs-ivf-clinic-bombing">send</a> pieces of nearby vehicles hundreds of feet in the air, according to police.
Park “shares Bartkus’s extremist views,” according to the Department of Justice, which said that Bartkus’ attack was motivated by his “pro-mortalism, anti-natalism, and anti-pro-life ideology.”
Park shipped an estimated 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate, an explosive precursor chemical, to Bartkus ahead of the attack on the clinic. Park also paid for 90 more pounds of the explosive to be shipped to Bartkus, according to prosecutors.
Park began to ship the ammonium nitrate to Bartkus shortly before Park stayed with Bartkus from January 25 to February 8. Park and Bartkus spent part of their time together in Bartkus’ garage “running experiments,” prosecutors said.

A Chinese scholar at the University of Michigan was arrested by the FBI and charged with attempting to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States that could be used for agricultural terrorism, according to documents unsealed in federal court on Tuesday.
Prosecutors said that Michigan scholar Yunqing Jian, along with her boyfriend, Zunyong Liu, tried to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States last July, The Detroit News <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2025/06/03/chinese-scholar-at-um-tried-to-smuggle-biological-pathogen-into-the-u-s-feds-say/84008953007/">reported</a>. The pathogen, called Fusarium graminearum, causes &#8220;head blight,&#8221; a disease that can wipe out wheat, barley, maize, and rice crops and &#8220;is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year,&#8221; <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/chinese-nationals-charged-conspiracy-and-smuggling-dangerous-biological-pathogen-us">according</a> to the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. The pathogen can also cause &#8220;vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock.&#8221;
U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. accused the suspects, who include &#8220;a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party,&#8221; of pursuing a &#8220;scheme&#8221; of &#8220;the gravest national security concerns.&#8221;
&#8220;These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon’ into the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme,&#8221; Gorgon said.
FBI Director Kash Patel <a href="https://x.com/fbidirectorkash/status/1930044884284523001?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q">said</a> the arrest of Jian and Liu &#8220;is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences&#8230; putting American lives and our economy at serious risk.&#8221;
Jian&#8217;s boyfriend was caught with the pathogen by Customs and Border Protection officers at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
&#8220;When Customs and Border Protection officers questioned Liu, he made false statements to CBP officers about the purpose of his visit to the United States, and his knowledge of the existence of the biological pathogen in his possession,&#8221; an FBI special agent wrote in the criminal filing, according to The Detroit News.
&#8220;Ultimately, Liu admitted to smuggling the pathogen and stated that he brought the pathogen into the United States so that he could conduct research on it at a laboratory at the University of Michigan where his girlfriend, Jian, worked,&#8221; the agent added.
After receiving a doctorate in plant pathogens from China&#8217;s Zhejiang University, Jian was given money through a Chinese foundation funded by the communist government to conduct post-doctoral research on Fusarium graminearum, according to prosecutors. Jian will make her first court appearance on Tuesday afternoon. Both Jian and Liu are charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, false statements, and visa fraud.
Jian&#8217;s case marks the second criminal complaint unsealed in the past week involving a Chinese citizen at the University of Michigan. Last Friday, prosecutors unsealed a criminal case against a Chinese student who illegally voted in the 2024 election. The Chinese national, who was in the United States legally, successfully obtained a ballot and cast his vote at an early voting location last October, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/non-citizen-from-china-charged-after-casting-ballot-in-michigan-his-vote-will-still-count">reported</a>. The Chinese student recently fled the country and went back to China, according to the criminal complaint.
Last week, the Trump administration said that is moving to &#8220;<a href="https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2025/05/new-visa-policies-put-america-first-not-china/">aggressively revoke</a>&#8221; Chinese student visas, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/06/01/china-us-students-national-security-threat/">adding</a> that the United States &#8220;will not tolerate the [Chinese Communist Party’s] exploitation of U.S. universities or theft of U.S. research intellectual property or technologies to grow its military power, conduct intelligence collection or repress voices of opposition.&#8221;

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.

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.”

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.

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.

Terror In Colorado: Pro-Israel Demonstrators Attacked In Firebombing

Someone is impersonating President Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, in texts and phone calls — and the FBI is investigating.
Wiles, who is the first female chief of staff  in U.S. history, has revealed contacts were hacked from her personal, not her government, cellphone, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/federal-authorities-probe-effort-to-impersonate-white-house-chief-of-staff-65da0d59" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported. Other top officials in the Trump administration were contacted via the fake identity.
“The FBI takes all threats against the president, his staff, and our cybersecurity with the utmost seriousness,” FBI Director Kash Patel stated. “Safeguarding our administration officials’ ability to securely communicate to accomplish the president’s mission is a top priority.”
Government officials believe that artificial intelligence was used in the fake messages.
“It became clear to some of the lawmakers that the requests were suspicious when the impersonator began asking questions about Trump that Wiles should have known the answers to—and in one case, when the impersonator asked for a cash transfer, some of the people said,” the Journal wrote. Another clue leading to suspicion was the broken grammar used by the impersonator.
On May 15, the FBI issued a <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/PSA/2025/PSA250515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">public service announcement</a> regarding attempts to impersonate U.S. officials, stating:
<blockquote>
Since April 2025, malicious actors have impersonated senior US officials to target individuals, many of whom are current or former senior US federal or state government officials and their contacts. If you receive a message claiming to be from a senior US official, do not assume it is authentic. The malicious actors have sent text messages and AI-generated voice messages — techniques known as smishing and vishing, respectively — that claim to come from a senior US official in an effort to establish rapport before gaining access to personal accounts.
One way the actors gain such access is by sending targeted individuals a malicious link under the guise of transitioning to a separate messaging platform. Access to personal or official accounts operated by US officials could be used to target other government officials, or their associates and contacts, by using trusted contact information they obtain. Contact information acquired through social engineering schemes could also be used to impersonate contacts to elicit information or funds.
</blockquote>
In 2024, Iranian agents <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/08/15/susie-wiles-trump-iran-hack/">attempted hacking</a> into Wiles’ email account.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Wiles served as Trump’s 2016 Florida campaign director, later rising to become the CEO of his “Save America” PAC in 2021 and then senior adviser to his 2024 campaign. “There is nobody, I think, that has the wealth of information that she does. Nobody in our orbit. Nobody,” Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/04/26/susie-wiles-trump-desantis-profile-00149654" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a>. “She touches everything.”
