                               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.
                                 <all>
