ICE boosting tip line after antisemitic attack by visa overstayer in Boulder

In response to the recent antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is ramping up resources for its 24/7 tip line. The suspect in the attack, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, had overstayed his visa, highlighting the need for stricter immigration policies.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of Homeland Security condemned the attack and criticized the Biden Administration for allowing unvetted illegal aliens to enter the country. She emphasized the importance of removing criminal illegal aliens to ensure public safety.
Secretary Kristi Noem is leading the efforts to revamp ICE’s tip line, dedicating more resources and personnel to gather information from the public and law enforcement across the country. The goal is to remove criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again. To report suspicious criminal activity, individuals can call 866-DHS-2-ICE.
Soliman, the suspect in the Boulder attack, was granted work authorization in the United States after applying for asylum in 2022 while on a tourist visa. His work permit expired in March 2025, highlighting the long-term impacts of Biden-era immigration policies.
President Donald Trump condemned the attack, attributing it to Biden’s open border policy and calling for a reversal of suicidal migration. He emphasized the need to secure borders and deport illegal, anti-American radicals from the country.
The Department of Justice swiftly charged Soliman with a federal hate crime and attempted murder. Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed solidarity with the victims and the Jewish community, vowing to hold the perpetrator accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
ICE is increasing its daily goal to 3,000 illegal immigrant arrests, conducting sweeps in cities nationwide to apprehend individuals with criminal records. The agency remains committed to ensuring public safety and upholding immigration laws.
The tip-line enhancement and increased enforcement efforts reflect a broader push to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and prevent future acts of violence. By cracking down on criminal illegal aliens and strengthening border security, the administration aims to protect American communities and uphold the rule of law.
