Overview

  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned on X that terrorists, their family members and sympathizers holding U.S. visas will face immediate revocation and deportation.
  • Authorities say the suspected attacker, who had overstayed his visa, used a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire at the Boulder gathering.
  • Twelve people were injured in the incident, including an 88-year-old Holocaust refugee, and two victims remain hospitalized.
  • Since taking office in January, Rubio has prioritized stripping visas from individuals who vocally criticize Israel.
  • Rubio’s latest declaration follows his May 20 Senate testimony defending expanded visa revocations and deportations of alleged gang members and other perceived threats.
