A resolution to condemn a suspected terror attack in Colorado passed the House with bipartisan support—but 113 Democrats voted against it. Their opposition reveals deep divisions over illegal immigration, law enforcement, and the political will to confront antisemitism.
Key Facts:
- The House passed Rep. Gabe Evans’ resolution 280-113, with 75 Democrats voting in favor and 113 voting against it.
- The resolution condemned a recent attempted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly by Egyptian national Mohammed Sabry Soliman.
- Democrats objected to language condemning illegal immigration and supporting ICE and law enforcement cooperation with federal authorities.
- A separate resolution, led by Reps. Van Drew and Neguse, focusing solely on antisemitism passed 400-0.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Dan Goldman criticized Evans and the resolution as politicized and unserious.
The Rest of The Story:
Evans’ resolution responded to an attempted firebombing by Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa.
The suspect allegedly targeted pro-Israel demonstrators protesting Hamas’ hostage-taking.
The resolution condemned the attack and emphasized the importance of federal immigration enforcement, specifically citing the dangers of visa overstays and sanctuary city policies.
Evans’ language praised law enforcement, including ICE, and called for stronger cooperation between local and federal authorities.
I agree with @RepJeffCrank – tell me if any of this is radical:
✅Condemn the antisemitic Boulder attack
✅Prioritize public safety
✅Thank law enforcementI urge my colleagues to defend these commonsense values and pass this resolution without hesitation. pic.twitter.com/K67QB9GzWt

The Trump administration promised that Soliman and his family would be deported.
Democrat critics, including Minority Leader Jeffries, argued that the resolution was a political weapon disguised as a stand against antisemitism.
Jeffries dismissed Evans as “a joke,” prompting Evans to push back on social media, citing his service in the military and law enforcement.
Democrat 'Leader' Hakeem Jeffries just had an unhinged meltdown attacking fmr. Police Officer & US Army Helicopter Pilot Gabe Evans for introducing a resolution condemning antisemitism & the Boulder terrorist attack. @GabeforColorado is a patriot. And Hakeem Jeffries is… pic.twitter.com/AgNYIsQDAf

While Democrats supported a separate antisemitism resolution that didn’t touch immigration, many claimed Evans’ bill used Jewish suffering to push a political agenda.
Rep. Dan Goldman said, “We Jews are sick and tired of being used as pawns.”
Others, like Van Drew, argued illegal immigration is directly connected to public safety and victim protection, referencing the murder of Laken Riley and other crimes by illegal immigrants.
Commentary:
Let’s be clear—this wasn’t a complicated vote.
A foreign national who overstayed his visa allegedly attempted a terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators.
Yet 113 Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to vote to condemn it.
Why? Because the resolution also acknowledged the dangers of illegal immigration and praised ICE.
That was apparently too much for them.
These Democrats showed America exactly where they stand.
They are more concerned with protecting sanctuary policies and their party’s narrative than protecting innocent lives or condemning terror.
The language in the resolution was accurate, not inflammatory.
It simply connected the dots: weak immigration enforcement creates real risks.
The Left’s outrage wasn’t about antisemitism; it was about politics.
They couldn’t support a resolution that praised law enforcement or validated Trump-era immigration policies.
That’s how broken their priorities are.
Meanwhile, Van Drew’s resolution—free of any reference to immigration—sailed through unanimously.
That tells you everything.
Anyone running under the Democrat banner now carries the weight of this vote.
You either stand with the victims of terrorism or with the policies that let their attackers roam free.
There is no moral gray area here.
This vote stripped away any pretense.
Those 113 votes weren’t just political choices—they were moral declarations.
And anyone still voting Democrat after this needs to ask themselves what values they’re really endorsing.
The Bottom Line:
A majority of House Democrats just voted against condemning a violent, antisemitic attack because they couldn’t stomach support for border enforcement and ICE.
That’s not a policy disagreement—it’s a betrayal of basic decency.
This vote should be a wake-up call about what the modern Democratic Party truly represents.
