Marco Rubio warns: Terrorists in US face deportation after Boulder attack

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stern warning to terrorists, their families, and sympathizers residing in the US on visas, stating they will face visa revocation and deportation under the Trump administration. This statement followed a brutal antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, where a 45-year-old man threw Molotov cocktails at Israeli protesters.

The attack injured eight victims, aged 52 to 88, including four women and four men, with injuries ranging from minor burns to very serious conditions. The incident occurred at the start of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, and among the victims is a Holocaust survivor, Rabbi Israel Wilhelm, the Chabad director at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Investigators revealed the accused had planned the attack for a year, timing it after his daughter's high school graduation. In an interview, he expressed a desire to "kill all Zionists" and stated he would carry out the attack again.

"Any terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathisers present in the U.S. on visas would face revocation and deportation," Rubio declared.

The suspect faces 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder, each carrying a potential 24-year sentence, totaling up to 384 years if convicted. Additional charges include attempted use of an incendiary device.

This incident highlights ongoing concerns about domestic terrorism and the US government's commitment to addressing threats linked to extremist violence.
