Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.
H. Res. 485 is a House resolution that denounces a antisemitic terrorist attack carried out on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado. The attack was carried out by Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, who used homemade Molotov cocktails against peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of hostages held by Hamas. The resolution outlines Soliman’s stated motives and notes injuries to at least 14 people, including a Holocaust survivor, and highlights Soliman’s immigration history (tourist visa issued, admitted in 2022, later applying for asylum and overstaying). It calls for improved vetting of visa applicants to detect antisemitic or terrorist activity, and it references Colorado’s sanctuary policies as a context for immigration enforcement debates. The measure condemns Soliman, prays for victims, emphasizes the importance of cooperation between state/local and federal law enforcement, and expresses gratitude to law enforcement personnel, including ICE.
