Boulder terror attack latest: Wife and five children of suspect arrested by ICE and set for deportation

The wife and five children of the man charged with a federal hate crime and 16 counts of attempted murder following a “targeted terror attack” in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday, have been arrested by ICE agents, according to reports.
Fox News reported on Tuesday that the family have been put into proceedings for “expedited removal” from the U.S.
Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, entered the U.S. on a visa that expired two years ago but was then granted work authorization lasting until March 2025.
The 45-year-old told authorities he spent a year planning Sunday’s attack and had researched and specifically targeted a “Zionist group.” A total of 15 people and a dog were injured in the attack on a “Run For Their Lives” event, which was organized in support of the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
Eyewitnesses reported that the attacker shouted “Free Palestine!” before firing incendiary devices, including a “makeshift flamethrower” and Molotov cocktails, according to the FBI.
The injured are understood to be aged between 25 and 88 and were rushed to hospitals in the Denver metro area, with the eldest among them is also a Holocaust survivor.
As of Tuesday, three remained in hospital, per FOX31.
