The White House pledged to deport Mohamed Sabry Soliman, his wife, and their five children after he allegedly committed an attack in Boulder, Colorado, that injured 12 people on Sunday.
Soliman has lived in the U.S. since August 2022 and overstayed his B2 nonimmigrant visa, which expired in February 2023. The legal status of his wife and children has not been publicized by the Department of Homeland Security, but the agency confirmed that Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022.

“Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed’s Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon,” the White House posted on X Tuesday. “Wife and Kids of Illegal Alien Behind Antisemitic Firebombing Could Be Deported by Tonight.”
The Washington Examiner reached the White House and DHS for further comment.
It remains to be seen where the Soliman family will be deported to. Soliman himself is an Egyptian national, but DHS has not revealed the national origin of his wife or children.
The attack happened on the day of Shavuot, a Jewish holiday celebrated by readings of the Torah. Victims were participating in a Run for Their Lives event, a group that organizes short runs and walks to bring attention to the hostages held by Hamas.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took custody of Soliman Tuesday after he was booked into the Boulder County Jail and held on a $10 million bond.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office charged Soliman on two counts of first-degree murder — one with “extreme indifference” and one listed as “deliberation with intent — nonfamily — gun,” according to authorities. Soliman also faces charges of one count of attempted murder, one count of first-degree assault, one count of causing serious injury to an at-risk adult or someone over 70, and one count of using explosives or incendiary devices.
