Jim Marter: I will not be silent in the face of Colorado Terror Attack and Homeland Security Failures

This attack on the innocent, including a Holocaust survivor, is a stark reminder that we need to demand secure borders and immigration enforcement or we'll face more terrorism and anti-Semitism.”

OSWEGO, IL, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Republican congressional candidate Jim Marter urged an

end to the silence regarding the heinous terror attack in Boulder, Colorado over the weekend where eight individuals were injured during a peaceful pro-Israel rally. So far, Marter's opponent has made released no similar, official statement.

The facts are, the suspect, Mohamed Soliman, reportedly used incendiary devices and a makeshift flamethrower in an act authorities are investigating as domestic terrorism, allegedly motivated by radical Islamic extremism and anti-Semitism.

Among the victims were four men and four women. Two suffered severe burns and had to be airlifted to a burn unit. One of the victims is an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, and another is a professor at the University of Colorado.

"This brutal attack on innocent Americans, including a Holocaust survivor, is a stark reminder of the threats posed by radical ideologies," said Marter. "It's deeply concerning that anyone could remain silent in the face of this act of terror and anti-Semitism."

Soliman, overstayed his visa and was therefore residing illegally here in the United States. Thankfully, he was apprehended at the scene and is currently facing multiple charges.

"Our elected officials have a duty to speak out against such heinous acts and to ensure the safety and security of all Americans," Marter continued. "Silence can put Americans at risk and embolden would-be terrorists. If we fail to stand strong in the face of terrorism and lawlessness, we'll see more of this," said Marter.
