- In a separate incident, Elias Rodriguez allegedly killed two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington D.C. while shouting “Free, free Palestine,” highlighting the growing pattern of targeted violence.

Biden-Era Immigration Policy Linked to Boulder Terror Attack
The attack in Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall on June 1st has raised serious questions about immigration vetting under the Biden administration. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national whose visa was approved during Biden’s term and valid until March 2025, allegedly prepared 18 Molotov cocktails specifically to target what he called a “Zionist group.” The demonstration organized by Run For Their Lives, which highlights Israeli hostages in Gaza, turned into a scene of chaos when Soliman launched his attack, injuring fifteen people – eight women and seven men ranging from 25 to 88 years old.
The FBI has classified this incident as a “targeted terror attack,” with Soliman now facing 118 charges, including attempted murder, assault, use of explosive devices, animal cruelty, and federal hate crime charges. The attack represents a disturbing escalation in violence against Jewish Americans and raises legitimate concerns about national security vulnerabilities created by lax immigration policies that allow potential extremists to enter our country legally.

Growing Pattern of Anti-Jewish Violence in America
The Boulder attack is not an isolated incident. Just weeks earlier, on May 21, two Israeli embassy employees were murdered in Washington, D.C., after attending an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, was heard shouting “Free, free Palestine” after being taken into custody. These attacks represent a disturbing pattern of escalating violence targeting Jewish and Israeli communities throughout the United States, prompting federal agencies to issue official warnings about the heightened threat landscape.
“The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters,” FBI and DHS stated in their joint alert.
The federal warning specifically notes that “Foreign terrorist organizations also may try to exploit narratives related to the conflict to inspire attacks in the U.S.” This acknowledgment from law enforcement confirms what many conservatives have long warned about – that unchecked immigration combined with radical anti-Israel sentiment creates a dangerous environment for American Jews. JEWISHcolorado has established a fund to assist those injured in the Boulder attack, but the community remains on high alert.
Federal Agencies Call for Increased Vigilance
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security’s joint public service announcement represents a significant escalation in official concern about threats facing Jewish Americans. The agencies are urging the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities immediately. This alert comes as antisemitic incidents have surged across the country since the October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel, with pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses and in major cities often featuring openly antisemitic rhetoric and calls for violence.
“The FBI and DHS, therefore, urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement,” the agencies stated in their joint alert.
The public is encouraged to report suspicious activities to tips.fbi.gov or local FBI field offices, and to call 911 for emergencies. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn has addressed safety concerns in his community, but the threat remains nationwide. President Trump has consistently supported strong protection for Jewish Americans and has advocated for stronger immigration controls that would prevent potential terrorists from entering the country legally, as apparently happened with Mohamed Sabry Soliman.
