President Donald Trump jabbed at former President Joe Biden and his lax immigration policies when he responded on Monday to the “horrific attack” 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’s refusal to secure the southern border had allowed him and others like him to cross freely into the country.
“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,” Trump said. “He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ 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!”
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 “Free Palestine!” as he carried out the attack.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with “America Reports” anchors Sandra Smith and John Roberts on Fox News on Monday, calling it a “despicable act” and doubling down on the administration’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.

“This administration has already done so much to ensure that we are deporting individuals who seek to do harm in our country … I would remind anyone here who is on a visa like this individual in Boulder … it is a privilege, not a right to enter the United States,” she said.

Soliman’s alleged act came just a week after Elias Rodriguez allegedly opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two young Israeli Embassy staffers. Rodriguez, in the aftermath of that attack, shouted, “Free, free Palestine!”
