Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem on Tuesday tweeted: “Today, DHS and ICE are taking the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist and illegal alien Mohamed Soliman into ICE custody.”

“This terrorist will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We are investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they knew of it, or if they provided support to it. I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and their families. Justice will be served.”

Noem suggested that Soliman’s wife and five children could be deported very soon if they had been involved in the father’s crime. Following the attack, the State Department revoked the visas of Mohamed Soliman’s wife and five children, according to Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, an Egyptian citizen whose US visa had expired, plotted for a full year a violent attack fueled by deep-seated anger toward Israel and hatred of “Zionists,” according to federal authorities.

The federal hate crime charges reveal that Soliman’s plan came to a head last Sunday when he left an iPhone with messages for his wife and five children at home, then drove to downtown Boulder armed with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. He targeted the mostly elderly participants at a peaceful Jewish rally in support of the Gaza hostages.

Twelve people were injured in the assault, during which Soliman shouted “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI. He later told investigators that he “wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.”

He told investigators that the only reason he had not attacked sooner was his waiting for his daughter to graduate high school.
