The wife and five children of the Boulder attack suspect are in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials after the alleged antisemitic incident.

The individual, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is accused of conducting an antisemitic firebombing of Jewish Americans. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said they are investigating how much the family of the suspect knew of the heinous attack.

She called Soliman a terrorist and an illegal alien who will be "prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Noem said she is praying for the victims of the attack and their families, promising that justice will be served against those who are responsible.

The suspect is facing allegations of using a "makeshift flamethrower" and several Molotov cocktails to attack a group of people who were peacefully calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The incident injured at least 12 people, eight of whom were admitted to the hospital with burns, according to NBC News.

The suspect was identified as an Egyptian national who, according to the DHS, entered the country legally on a B2 visa, which is typically issued to tourists. He and his family came to the United States in August 2022 and filed for asylum in September 2022. However, his visa expired on February 20,23, but he still had legal options for staying in the country.

After deliberations, Soliman was charged in Colorado with attempted first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference, first-degree assault, and possession of an incendiary device.

In a court appearance on Monday, Soliman was ordered to be held on a $10 million bond and is scheduled to return on Thursday. He is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison if he is found guilty of the federal hate crime charge, USA Today reported.

The attempted murder charges against Soliman alone are punishable by up to a total of 384 years in prison. Authorities added that they reserve the right to add more federal and/or state charges to the case at a later date.

The suspect allegedly said that he had been planning the attack for a year but had to wait for his daughter to graduate from high school before carrying it out. A co-leader of Run for Their Lives in Boulder, Omer Shachar, said he standing in front of the victims outside a courthouse when a man suddenly threw a Molotov cocktail, as per ABC7.
