Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.
H. Res. 488 is a House Resolution that formally condemns the antisemitic terrorist attack carried out by Mohammed Sabry Soliman in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025. The measure highlights the attacker’s stated anti-Israel/antisemitic motives, notes the injuries to at least 14 people (including a Holocaust survivor), and emphasizes the need for strong cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal authorities to prevent terrorist acts. It also expresses gratitude to law enforcement, including ICE personnel, for protecting the homeland. Although it references the attacker’s visa history and asylum filing, the resolution is primarily a non-binding statement of Congress’ position, calling for improved visa vetting and enforcement as part of broader public safety efforts. It does not itself create new law or policy.
