The post ominously read, “Wife and kids of illegal alien behind anti-Semitic firebombing could be deported by tonight.”
Accompanying the message was a bold caption, “Six one-way tickets for Mohamed’s wife and five kids. Final boarding call coming soon.”

Authorities in Colorado confirmed the arrest of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national who allegedly threw a firebomb at the pro-"Israel" demonstration on Sunday afternoon. The attack injured several people, including himself, and prompted an FBI-led investigation, with officials labeling it a “targeted terrorist attack.”

Soliman reportedly entered the United States on a tourist visa in August 2022, which expired months ago. Despite filing for an immigration application and receiving a temporary work permit that recently expired, US security sources have confirmed that Soliman has been residing in the country illegally.
The suspect is currently receiving medical treatment under tight security, while the nation watches closely as the legal and immigration consequences unfold for him and his family.
