EXCLUSIVE: Jordan Launches Investigation Into Mohammed Sabry Soliman And His Family

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is leading a Republican-led investigation into the suspected illegal immigrant linked to the recent terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Jordan will send letters obtained by the Daily Caller to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday, expressing concern over federal immigration enforcement.

Specifically, the Ohio congressman sharply criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of visa vetting, using the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman as a key example.

Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national, entered the U.S. during the Biden administration and remained in the country after overstaying his visa, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF). He faces charges for allegedly attacking several people at a demonstration supporting the 58 hostages of Hamas with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails.

“The issuance of Soliman’s visa and his admission into the United States raise serious questions about the Biden-Harris Administration’s application of federal immigration law and the adequacy of visa vetting procedures more generally. The Trump-Vance Administration, by contrast, has applied increased scrutiny to aliens seeking to obtain a visa or other immigration benefit,” Jordan wrote in the letter. “Soliman’s antisemitic attack also comes in the wake of oftentimes violent anti-Israel protests and harassment across the United States, including on college campuses.”

“During his first month back in office,” he continued, “President Trump quickly acted to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students from foreign nationals who weaponize the U.S. immigration system to attack American values.”

Citing the committee’s authority to oversee federal immigration policy, Jordan added, “Pursuant to the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee on the Judiciary is authorized to conduct oversight of federal immigration policy and procedures. To assist the Committee with its continued oversight of federal immigration policy and procedures, we ask that you please provide the following materials regarding Mohammed Sabry Soliman, his wife, and his five children.”

BREAKING: Three senior DHS sources tell @FoxNews that the Boulder terror suspect is an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally as a visa overstay who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. I’m told Mohamed Sabry Soliman arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant…

In his request, Jordan specifically asked for “case history information, including, but not limited to, the aliens’ immigration history, immigration benefits applications, the alien file (A-file) or consular file (including all consular notes), and immigration detention status and history.”

He also requested information regarding the time, date, and place of any and all entries the aliens have made into the United States by June 20.

“The Colorado Terrorist attack suspect, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in our country,” a DHS spokesperson stated Monday to the DCNF. “He entered the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired on February 2023. He filed for asylum in September 2022.”

The attack injured eight individuals — four men and four women, ranging in age from 52 to 88 — who were treated at hospitals for burns and various injuries in the Denver metropolitan area. One of the victims is a Holocaust survivor.

A federal judge in Colorado appointed by Biden blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Soliman.

The decision pauses removal proceedings for Soliman’s wife and five children.
