Colorado Terrorist is Biden-Era Illegal. Trump Responds…

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: President Donald J. Trump said on Monday that anti-Semitic acts of terrorism—as occurred in Colorado over the weekend—will not be tolerated, underlining the need to deport dangerous and criminal illegal immigrants and secure the U.S border.

👥 Who’s Involved: Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the alleged attacker, unlawfully resided in the U.S. after overstaying a tourist visa in 2023; President Donald Trump responded.

📍 Where & When: The attack occurred on Sunday, June 1, in Boulder, Colorado, with Trump addressing it publicly on Monday.

💬 Key Quote: “Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America,” Trump stated.

⚠️ Impact: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the attack as an “act of terror,” and the suspect faces federal hate crime charges. President Trump is pointing to the attack as further evidence that the deportation of illegal immigrants is a national security matter.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump responded Monday to an anti-Semitic attack on a Jewish community demonstration demanding the release of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The attack in Boulder, Colorado, left eight people injured and is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as an “act of terror.”

Noting that the alleged attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is an Egyptian illegal alien, the America First leader said the incident was further evidence for the need to deport dangerous and criminal illegal immigrants from the country.

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!”

Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed a tourist visa in 2023, allegedly used a “makeshift flamethrower” on the attack’s victims, while shouting “Free Palestine!” The demonstration was aimed at raising awareness about the remaining hostages held by Hamas. On Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an affidavit that revealed Soliman will face federal hate crime charges along with other criminal counts.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Monday that Soliman is in the U.S. illegally. His B2 visa expired under Joe Biden in February 2023, and his work permit, issued after applying for asylum in 2022, expired in March. Soliman has been unlawfully present in the country since that time, officials said.

This European Country Faces Over a Million Radicalized Muslims.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A study by the University of Münster reveals that nearly 20 percent of Muslim migrants in Germany may be susceptible to radicalisation.

👥 Who’s Involved: Researchers from the University of Münster, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt.

📍 Where & When: Germany, study results released last week; border policy changes implemented in May 2025.

💬 Key Quote: Sarah Demmrich stated, “With the emotional state of resentment, we were able to uncover a new and even strong factor in radicalisation.”

⚠️ Impact: The findings suggest up to one million individuals could be vulnerable to radicalisation, amidst tightened border controls and migration policy reforms in Germany.

IN FULL:

A new study conducted by the University of Münster’s Research Centre for Islamic Theology has found that nearly 20 percent of Muslim migrants in Germany could be vulnerable to radicalisation. The survey, which included almost 1,900 participants with a migration background, highlighted strong anti-Western and anti-Semitic sentiments, as well as resentment toward German politics and societal norms.

The term “migration background” in Germany refers to both first-generation migrants and their descendants. With over 5.5 million Muslims in this category nationwide, the findings suggest that up to one million individuals could be at risk of radicalisation. Researchers also noted that a third of those identified as vulnerable expressed support for violence in response to perceived injustices against Muslims. Additionally, many respondents viewed Islamic Sharia law as superior to German law and expressed a desire for Islam to be the dominant political authority in Germany.

Sarah Demmrich, a religious psychologist involved in the study, explained to German outlet NOZ that “resentment” was identified as a significant factor in the radicalisation process. The researchers found that the clash between Germany’s more liberal Western cultural norms and the strict religious beliefs of Muslim migrants is a primary driver of the sort of resentment that fuels radicalization. “The capacity for criticism within Islam must be strengthened in order to promote reflective debates on religious and social issues,” Demmrich contends.

This research comes as Germany implements somewhat stricter migration controls under newly elected Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Merz has rescinded the open-border policies introduced by former Chancellor Angela Merkel, a fellow member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, in 2015. Under the new rules, illegal migrants, except for children and pregnant women, are being turned away at Germany’s borders. Merz has also initiated measures to deport Syrian migrants following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime last year.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has announced a significant expansion of border enforcement, increasing personnel by 3,000 to a total of 14,000 officers. Speaking on the new measures, Dobrindt stated, “We want to take stronger steps against illegal immigration… The numbers remain significantly too high.”

Merz has defended the policy shift, asserting that the European Union (EU) must send a clear message to deter illegal immigration and disrupt smuggling networks. Recent attacks in Germany, including a fatal stabbing in Bavaria last December, have intensified public focus on migration and security issues.

DHS Cracks Down on 500 Sanctuary Cities for Impeding Deportation Efforts.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a list of 500 sanctuary jurisdictions it says are obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

👥 Who’s Involved: DHS, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the Trump administration, sanctuary cities, counties, and states.

📍 Where & When: Across the U.S.; list released Thursday, May 29, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “These sanctuary city politicians are endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens,” said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

⚠️ Impact: DHS claims sanctuary policies endanger communities and law enforcement while protecting illegal immigrants accused of criminal activity.

IN FULL:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released a list of 500 sanctuary jurisdictions it accuses of obstructing federal immigration enforcement efforts under the Trump administration. The list, published Thursday on the department’s website, includes cities, counties, and states across the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized sanctuary city policies, stating, “These sanctuary city politicians are endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens.” The DHS alleges that such jurisdictions shield individuals in the country illegally from federal immigration authorities, creating risks for both communities and law enforcement.

The department explained that the list was compiled based on several factors, including whether jurisdictions identify themselves as sanctuary areas, their compliance level with federal immigration enforcement, restrictions on sharing information with immigration authorities, and legal protections for illegal immigrants.

“Sanctuary jurisdictions including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately and shamefully obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws endanger American communities,” the DHS statement read.

This move by the DHS comes amid increased pressure from the Trump administration on local governments to align with federal immigration law enforcement. While law enforcement in Republican governed states are increasingly complying with President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation efforts, Democrat-controlled states continue to by-and-large resist immigration enforcement efforts.

The DHS claims that sanctuary policies allow individuals accused of criminal activity to avoid facing legal consequences, putting public safety at risk. Critics of sanctuary policies argue that they undermine the rule of law and prioritize the protection of illegal immigrants over the safety of citizens.

Trump Admin Closing Office Importing Afghan Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The State Department has announced plans to close its Afghan refugee resettlement office as part of a reorganization effort.

👥 Who’s Involved: The State Department, Congress, the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE), and the Afghanistan Affairs Office.

📍 Where & When: United States; changes to take effect by July 1.

💬 Key Quote: “The planned changes are… reflective of the administration’s and secretary’s broader efforts to streamline government functions, eliminate redundancy, and enhance accountability,” according to a letter sent to Congress.

⚠️ Impact: The closure affects the resettlement of Afghan refugees in the U.S. following the Afghanistan war and is part of broader workforce reductions impacting over 300 offices.

IN FULL:

The State Department has informed Congress of its decision to close the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE), a program established to assist Afghan refugees following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Additionally, the role of the special representative for Afghan reconstruction will be eliminated as part of these changes.

According to a letter sent to lawmakers, the office’s responsibilities will be transferred to the Afghanistan Affairs Office as part of a broader reorganization strategy. Set to take effect by July 1, the changes are part of the administration’s plan to streamline government operations through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The letter states that more than 300 offices will undergo restructuring “to refocus on core U.S. foreign policy objectives and the needs of contemporary diplomacy.”

The CARE office was originally created under the Biden government to support Afghan refugees claimed to have worked alongside American forces or their relatives.

“The planned changes are also reflective of the administration’s and secretary’s broader efforts to streamline government functions, eliminate redundancy, and enhance accountability,” the letter reads.

Meanwhile, concerns about the legitimacy of Afghan asylum claims have been raised in other countries. The National Pulse previously reported that Germany found that thousands of so-called Afghan asylum seekers have actually traveled back to their home country on multiple occasions, even vacationing there, suggesting they face no genuine threat from the Taliban.

SCOTUS Clears Way for Trump to Revoke Parole of 500K Illegal Aliens.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The United States Supreme Court has issued a temporary stay of a lower court order, which will allow President Donald J. Trump to move forward with revoking the parole status granted to around 500,000 illegal immigrants under former President Joe Biden.

👥 Who’s Involved: The U.S. Supreme Court, President Donald J. Trump, and an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

📍 Where & When: The ruling was handed down on Friday, May 30, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: President Trump’s administration can move forward—for now—with revoking parole status for the illegal immigrants.

IN FULL:

The United States Supreme Court issued a stay on Friday, blocking a lower court decision that barred President Donald J. Trump from revoking parole status for an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants who were released into the country by the former Biden government. On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the Trump White House had unlawfully ended the temporary parole status granted by Biden for the illegals who originated from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

In the 7-2 decision, with Justice Kagan joining the majority and Justices Jackson and Sotomayor dissenting, the high court took an increasingly rare step in reversing what the Trump administration has called judicial interference in executive branch powers. Since his inauguration in January, President Trump has seen a number of major political agenda items hamstrung by judicial interference, which has led critics to contend that federal courts are abusing their authority to encroach on Article II constitutional powers.

While the stay order marks a temporary victory for Trump and his mass deportation efforts, the underlying case remains pending and a final determination at the appellate court and eventually the Supreme Court level could still result in the illegals’ parole being upheld.

Notably, the Supreme Court has already intervened several times on immigration matters. In April, for instance, the high court temporarily blocked the deportation of 50 illegal immigrants from Venezuela pending further litigation.

Illegals Charged After Death of 18-Year-Old Air Force Recruit Ava Moore.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: An 18-year-old U.S. Air Force recruit, Ava Moore, was killed by a jet ski on Grapevine Lake, Texas, over Memorial Day weekend.

👥 Who’s Involved: Venezuelan nationals Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 22, and Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, both in the U.S. illegally, are facing charges related to the killing.

📍 Where & When: Grapevine Lake, Texas; May 25, 2023.

💬 Key Quote: “This criminal alien and her boyfriend will account for the tragic accident that ended the life of a young woman who exhibited enormous potential,” said Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Dallas Acting Field Office Director Josh Johnson.

⚠️ Impact: The case highlights ongoing concerns about illegal immigration and public safety. Notably, Gonzalez appears to have attempted to flee the scene after the fatal collision.

IN FULL:

Two Venezuelan nationals, both in the U.S. illegally, are now facing criminal charges following the death of 18-year-old Ava Moore, a U.S. Air Force recruit, in a jet ski collision on Grapevine Lake, Texas, over Memorial Day weekend.

Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 22, was arrested on May 27 and charged with second-degree felony manslaughter. Authorities allege that Gonzalez was operating the jet ski that struck Moore as she kayaked near Oak Grove Park on May 25. Witnesses reported that the jet ski was being driven recklessly along the shoreline before the crash.

After the collision, Gonzalez allegedly fled the scene in a vehicle driven by 21-year-old Maikel Coello Perozo, who is now charged with hindering apprehension. The pair were apprehended following a standoff at a residence in the Dallas area.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Gonzalez entered the U.S. illegally on September 28, 2022, but was released the same day with a Notice to Appear. Coello reportedly entered the country illegally in January 2023 but was also released pending an immigration hearing.

“This criminal alien and her boyfriend will account for the tragic accident that ended the life of a young woman who exhibited enormous potential,” stated Josh Johnson, acting Field Office Director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Dallas.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), who has taken state-level measures to crack down on illegal immigration and those in the country unlawfully who commit violent crimes, wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) following the fatal crash: “Welcome to Texas. Here’s your death penalty.”

The U.S. Air Force Academy remembered Moore as a driven individual with leadership potential. “Her constant happiness and attitude helped her squadron get through the challenges of the Prep School,” said Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, Superintendent of the Academy.

Moore had been visiting her family in North Texas for the holiday weekend when she was killed.

The Catastrophic Impact of Illegal Migrant Healthcare Revealed.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The state Medi-Cal program in California went insolvent earlier this year, requiring $3.44 billion in loans, with Republicans pointing to healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants as a major contributing factor.

👥 Who’s Involved: Governor Gavin Newsom (D), the California Legislative Latino Caucus, California taxpayers, and illegal aliens.

📍 Where & When: California; budget discussions ongoing.

💬 Key Quote: “The cost of providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants is $11.4 billion, so if we just didn’t do that, that would eliminate our budget deficit,” said State Senator Brian Jones (R).

⚠️ Impact: California faces a $12 billion budget deficit, with debates over healthcare costs for illegal immigrants, potential tax hikes, and federal funding changes adding pressure.

IN FULL:

California’s Medi-Cal, the state-run Medicaid program that provides healthcare for low-income residents and illegal immigrants, has gone insolvent, requiring $3.44 billion in loans earlier this year to continue operations. The program has become a focal point of the state’s ongoing budget crisis, with a $12 billion deficit looming, and some Democrats in the state legislature are pushing tax hikes instead of needed reforms to Medi-Cal.

Republican lawmakers, including State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, have been vocal in attributing much of the financial strain to the state budget on the inclusion of illegal immigrants in Medi-Cal coverage. “The cost of providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants is $11.4 billion, so if we just didn’t do that, that would eliminate our budget deficit,” Jones stated. However, he acknowledged other potential areas for budget savings.

The National Pulse previously reported that Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration has proposed adjustments to Medi-Cal, including pausing enrollment for illegal immigrants aged 19 and older in “full-scope coverage” and introducing a $100 monthly premium for illegals currently enrolled in the healthcare program. However, the Democrat governor’s solution is already receiving pushback from within the California Democratic Party.

Members of the California Legislative Latino Caucus are balking at Newsom’s proposed pause and premium hike. Instead, they are pushing for tax increases to bridge the funding gap and eliminate the $12 billion deficit. Newsom, who is eyeing a potential 2028 presidential bid, has thus far been non-committal on a potential tax increase to cover the budget.

Despite Republicans and Democrats like Newsom both pointing the finger at illegal immigrant enrollment as a primary driver of the budget deficit and Medi-Cal insolvency, the problem may be far more systemic.

“A lot of doctors in California that used to provide Medicare and Medicaid have closed up shop, moved to other states. A lot of other doctors that are still here have stopped taking those kinds of patients, even if they’re here legally or illegally, because the reimbursement rates are so low, the doctors actually lose money when they take a Medicare or Medicaid patient,” said State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones.

Potential federal changes to Medicaid funding could also complicate matters for California. Currently, Congress is considering reducing the federal match rate for non-emergency care from 90 percent to 80 percent. Newsom warns that such changes could cost the state billions.

Trump Border Mass Deportations

Illegal Migrant Processing Centers Are Shuttering… Because There Aren’t Any New Illegal Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: U.S. Border Patrol is shuttering an illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, as the number of unlawful border crossings has plummeted by over 96 percent under President Donald J. Trump.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Border Patrol; the former Biden government, and the Trump Administration.

📍 Where & When: San Diego Sector; May 27, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: President Trump’s push to mass deport criminal illegal immigrants and shut down illegal border crossings has caused a dramatic decline in unlawful entries into the United States. The San Diego Sector has seen a 96 percent drop in illegal crossings, while encounters are down by an estimated 95 percent.

IN FULL:

A temporary illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, constructed during the Biden government, has been dismantled following a sharp decline in illegal border crossings, U.S. Border Patrol announced. The facility’s removal comes as the sector reports an over 96 percent drop in illegal entries, reflecting intensified border enforcement measures.

The San Diego Sector, a historically active area for illegal crossings, saw a dramatic decrease in activity, prompting authorities to decommission the soft-sided structure. The Biden government initially established the facility to manage high volumes of foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally under the Democrats.

This development coincides with nationwide efforts under President Donald J. Trump to apprehend and remove criminal illegal immigrants. Over the past weekend alone, authorities say they’ve made multiple arrests of individuals with serious criminal records as part of that effort.

The National Pulse has previously reported on Trump White House border czar Tom Homan stating that the total number of illegal immigrant “gotaways” has dropped by 99.99 percent since the American First leader took office. Meanwhile, total border encounters across sectors are down by an estimated 95 percent.

Dismantling the San Diego processing facility marks an important step in the continued transition away from the former Biden government’s open borders policies. Under Trump, border resources that had previously been used to encourage mass immigration, such as the CBP One app, have been retooled to discourage illegal crossings and encourage illegal immigrants in the United States to self-deport.

DOJ Targets Sanctuary Cities in Legal Crackdown.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against four New Jersey cities, alleging their sanctuary policies obstruct federal immigration enforcement.

👥 Who’s Involved: The DOJ, Acting Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth, Attorney General Pam Bondi, the cities of Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Hoboken, Mayor Ras Baraka, and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ).

📍 Where & When: Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Hoboken, New Jersey; lawsuit announced Thursday.

💬 Key Quote: “The express purpose and clear effect of these policies … is to thwart federal immigration enforcement,” said Assistant Attorney General Roth.

⚠️ Impact: The lawsuit alleges the cities’ sanctuary policies violate the Constitution’s supremacy clause, endanger public safety, and could lead to further legal action.

IN FULL:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against four New Jersey cities, accusing them of obstructing federal immigration enforcement through their sanctuary policies. The legal action targets Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Hoboken, claiming their local rules unconstitutionally hinder federal authorities’ ability to work with local law enforcement to detain and deport illegal immigrants.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Yaakov Roth described the cities’ policies as “a frontal assault on the federal immigration laws and the federal authorities that administer them.” Roth further stated that these measures “thwart federal immigration enforcement” and prevent willing local law enforcement from aiding in addressing the nation’s immigration crisis.

The lawsuit also alleges that the policies jeopardize both officer and public safety, violating the U.S. Constitution’s supremacy clause, which establishes federal law as the ultimate authority over conflicting state or local statutes.

The filing follows a recent high-profile incident on May 9 at a Newark Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. That clash, involving state and federal Democratic officials, resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and federal charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ).

Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized the sanctuary policies, stating, “Recent events have proven that these New Jersey officials care more about political showmanship than the safety of their communities.” Bondi emphasized that the Justice Department will not tolerate local interference in federal immigration enforcement and hinted at further legal actions against other sanctuary jurisdictions.

The DOJ has previously filed similar lawsuits against sanctuary policies in New York, Illinois, and Colorado.

Obama Judge Blocks Trump’s Decision to Stop Harvard Importing Foreign Students.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which would have barred them from enrolling foreign students.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs, Harvard University, foreign students, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and the Trump administration.

📍 Where & When: Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification was revoked on Thursday, May 22, 2025. Meanwhile, Harvard’s lawsuit was announced on Friday, May 23, with Judge Burroughs issuing the temporary restraining order shortly thereafter.

💬 Key Quote: “Defendants, their agents, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants are hereby enjoined from: A. Implementing, instituting, maintaining, or giving effect to the revocation of Plaintiff’s SEVP certification; B. Giving any force or effect to the Department of Homeland Security’s May 22, 2025 Revocation Notice,” wrote the federal judge.

⚠️ Impact: The temporary restraining order bars DHS from moving forward with pulling Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification while litigation is ongoing.

IN FULL:

U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, has moved to issue a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration in favor of Harvard University. The order blocks Trump White House officials from revoking Harvard’s ability to import foreign students under the student visa program.

The National Pulse reported Thursday that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her agency would be pulling Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification. This means that Harvard would no longer be allowed to enroll foreign students ahead of the 2025-26 academic year. Additionally, any foreign students currently enrolled would need to transfer to another academic institution.

Burroughs, appointed by former President Barack Obama, ruled that Harvard had demonstrated it would “sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties” unless a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) was granted.

“Accordingly, Defendants, their agents, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants are hereby enjoined from: A. Implementing, instituting, maintaining, or giving effect to the revocation of Plaintiff’s SEVP certification; B. Giving any force or effect to the Department of Homeland Security’s May 22, 2025 Revocation Notice,” she stated.

Earlier Friday, Harvard had filed a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump and his White House. Harvard’s President, Dr. Alan M. Garber, condemned the SEVP revocation, calling it an “unlawful and unwarranted action.”

Garber argued: “It imperils the futures of thousands of students and scholars across Harvard and serves as a warning to countless others at colleges and universities throughout the country who have come to America to pursue their education and fulfill their dreams.”
