In the aftermath of a firebombing at a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, prominent MAGA-aligned figures have responded with sweeping calls for anti-Muslim immigration policies, including mass deportation and travel bans.
On Sunday, several people sustained burns after an assailant hurled Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower into a crowd of pro-Israel protesters. Police arrested a suspect later identified by Fox News as Mohamed Sabry Suleiman, an Egyptian national allegedly residing illegally in the United States since March 2024.
Far-right activist and self-defined "proud Islamophobe" Laura Loomer seized upon the attack to issue a series of inflammatory posts on X, declaring:
"It appears Mohamed Suleiman, the Muslim man who carried out the Islamic terrorist attack, is an immigrant from Kuwait who arrived in the US two years ago under Joe Biden's open-border policy."
Loomer went further, calling for the deportation of all Muslims residing in the US, as well as a total travel ban on Muslim entry into the country.
"Islam is the greatest threat to humanity," she wrote, urging Republican lawmakers to act decisively.
