Passed House

Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.

119th Congress Introduced Jun 9, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This resolution denounces the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. It condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and the attack on peaceful demonstrators who were supporting the release of hostages held by Hamas. It affirms that free and open communication between state and local law enforcement and federal counterparts is a foundation of public safety and is necessary to prevent terrorist attacks. The resolution is a public condemnation and safety statement; it does not itself create a criminal penalty or new grant program.

Who Benefits and How

Victims and peaceful demonstrators in Boulder benefit from formal House condemnation of the attack. Jewish Americans benefit from a congressional statement identifying the attack as antisemitic terrorism. Families of hostages held by Hamas benefit because the resolution recognizes demonstrators supporting hostage release. State and local law enforcement benefit from House support for information sharing with federal counterparts. Federal law enforcement benefits from a statement that intergovernmental communication is necessary for preventing attacks.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Mohammed Sabry Soliman bears formal condemnation by the House. Antisemitic actors must face reputational and political condemnation under the resolution's framing. State, local, and federal law enforcement agencies face pressure to communicate effectively and prevent attacks. Public officials who discourage law-enforcement information sharing may face scrutiny under the resolution's public-safety framing.

  • Condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder.
  • Provides recognition that peaceful demonstrators were supporting release of Hamas-held hostages.
