Federal prosecutors charged Mohamed Sabry Soliman with hate crimes for yesterday's Boulder attack, revealing he had planned the flamethrower assault on pro-Israel demonstrators for over a year. Court documents showed the Egyptian national deliberately waited until his daughter graduated before executing the attack, telling investigators he wanted to kill all Zionist people. Authorities discovered USAID paperwork in his vehicle and confirmed he had overstayed his tourist visa since 2023.
The case intensified immigration enforcement debates as ICE mistakenly arrested an 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student on graduation weekend while seeking his father instead. Trump blamed Biden's immigration policies for enabling the Boulder attack while his administration faced Supreme Court challenges over mass federal layoffs.
Ukraine and Russia held their second round of peace talks in Istanbul following Ukraine's drone strikes that destroyed 40 Russian aircraft. Media described the assault using Pearl Harbor comparisons, calling it an unprecedented blow to Russia's strategic bomber fleet.
