Family of the Colorado assassin in deportation-what now?

on Sunday, June 2, 2025, there was a terrifying attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian citizen, Molotow cocktails threw on a group of demonstrators, defended the Jewish hostages. The attack led to injuries to 12 people, three of whom had to be treated in hospital. Soliman called "Free Palestine" during the attack and had planned his deeds for over a year. He has now been taken into custody and is now faced with a hate crime at federal level. Soliman claimed that he acted alone and that nobody was aware of his plans. But the investigators check whether his family, who was also taken into custody, was involved in any way or had knowledge of the attack. His wife and five children are currently in custody of the immigration authorities, and there is the possibility of an upcoming deportation, such as "https://www.aljazera.com/news/2025/6/family-ofspect-in-colorado-firebomb-tack-held-imigration-custody" reported.

This incident is the background of a worrying increase in anti -Semitic incidents in the United States. Colorado has had an increase of 373 % in hate crimes against Jews in the past five years, which brought the state of ninth of the anti-Semitism ranking in 2024. The increase in anti-Semitic acts is closely related to political tensions and the current situation in the Gaza conflict. According to reports, over 80 % of the Jewish population in the United States reported an increase in anti -Semitism, which is an alarming development. This problem was also taken up during an online conference on the topic, where the anti-defamation League (ADL) found that in 2022 with 3,679 anti-Semitic incidents there was the highest number since the start of the surveys.

uncertainties and criticism of immigration policies

The explosiveness of the incident re-sparked the debate about Colorado's sanctuary laws. According to critics, these laws, which restrict close cooperation between local law enforcement authorities and the immigration authorities, have contributed to the creation of an environment in which violence and radicalization can spread freely. In the past, the Boulder City Council has made decisions that spoke out against the support of terrorism, but many serious questions remained unanswered. An editorial of Colorado Springs Gazette calls for politics that favor hatred and violence. Colorado is also known for having some of the country's most compliant Sanctuary laws that make it easier for illegal immigrants to live in the state.

In addition, the incident shows to what extent US policy is partly based on fears before anti-Semitism, which are often used for propaganda goals. Former President Trump and his supporters have used fears of anti -Semitism to advocate stricter immigration policies. These links between immigration, anti -Semitism and political rhetoric are not new and raise questions about general security and integration of minorities in the USA. In the context of the general suspicion of foreign visitors that are associated with terrorism, the topic of immigration is increasingly associated with national security.

The above events are part of a larger trend that is reinforced by political rhetoric and the social climate. Anti-Semitism is not just an isolated phenomenon, but a complex problem that is deeply rooted in the US society. The story shows that such currents have increased again and again, especially in times of historical crises. This requires a rethink and stronger measures on the part of society to actively counter such tendencies before creating even greater social tensions.
