Mainstream media outlet slammed for ‘disgraceful’ reporting on family of alleged Boulder terrorist
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Mainstream media outlet USA Today is being slammed online and by the White House for «disgraceful» reporting lamenting the possible deportation of the family of illegal alien Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the primary suspect in the firebombing terror attack against Jewish Americans in Boulder, Colorado.
USA Today ran an article on Wednesday with the headline, «Boulder suspect’s daughter dreamed of studying medicine. Now she faces deportation.» The article’s subheading said Soliman’s teenage daughter, Habiba Soliman, «moved to the U.S. hoping to study medicine» but «then her father, Mohamed Soliman, was charged with a hate crime in an attack aimed at peaceful Jewish demonstrators.»
After intense criticism online, the outlet appears to have changed the article’s headline to now read, «Habiba Soliman wanted to be a doctor. Then, her father firebombed Jewish marchers in Boulder.» USA Today said the article was «recast and updated with new information.»
Soliman, 45, is an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa after entering the U.S. during the Biden administration, three DHS and ICE sources told Fox News. On Sunday, he allegedly attacked a group of Jewish peaceful demonstrators using Molotov cocktails, seriously injuring more than a dozen people, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.

Soliman’s family is in federal custody and their visas have been revoked, sources told Fox News. The family is being processed for expedited removal.
In an X statement posted on Tuesday afternoon, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said her agency is investigating his family to identify «to what extent» they knew about the alleged attack.
«Mohamed’s despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we’re also investigating to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack,» Noem said in the post. «If they had any knowledge of it or if they provided any support to it.»
The USA Today article lamented the suddenly transformed futures of Soliman’s family members, highlighting Habiba’s ambitions to be in the medical profession and her progress in learning English.

The outlet wrote that «prior to the attack, Habiba Soliman had written about her hope of accomplishing great things in the U.S. … Instead, the White House said on X on Tuesday that Mohamed Soliman’s wife and five children ‘could be deported by tonight.’»
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, commented on the piece on X, calling it «a disgraceful article.»
«Instead of carrying water for the family of an illegal alien terrorist, USA Today should spend some time and ink talking about the victims of this heinous crime,» said Lummis.
«A terrorist sets elderly Jewish Americans on fire and USA Today profiles the terrorist’s daughter—not the victims,» wrote conservative commentator John Hasson.

«There is no bottom for these publications. None,» said Fox News contributor Joe Concha.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson also called the article «disgraceful.»

«Instead of drooling over an illegal terrorist’s family, USA Today should have profiled the innocent victims targeted by this sick individual that was allowed into our country by the Biden Administration,» Jackson wrote.
She added that «USA Today should apologize to the victims and their families for this disgraceful piece attempting to garner sympathy for a terrorist’s family.»
USA Today did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Red Cross shares audio of Iranian civilian explaining situation on the ground in Tehran: ‘No respite’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) released audio Thursday of a civilian in Tehran describing what it’s like on the ground as Operation Epic Fury rocks Iran.
«To us here, the war did not start four days ago. It started when we heard the initial news of a piling up of the forces in the region and preparations for war. Now, with the war going on, we hear constant explosions, and there is no respite from this,» the unidentified civilian said.
The civilian said the frequency of explosions has made people so nervous that even everyday noises can cause panic attacks.
«Any moment you can expect a loud noise. This has made us so nervous that any loud noise, including the noise of a car passing by, gives us a panic attack,» the civilian said.
Even with the noise of the explosions, the civilian, who said he was born and raised in Tehran, noticed the city had become a ghost town as people had either fled the war or limited movements to stay safe from aerial attacks.

«As a person who was born and lived his whole life in this city, I have never seen the city so quiet,» the civilian said. «Some of the people of my city have left. Many others stayed in, trying to limit movements to avoid getting caught in the aerial attacks on the city that never seem to come to an end. You don’t see people around. My city was a very big city and busy. I’m not used to seeing my city so calm and quiet.»
The U.S. and Israel have carried out air and sea attacks on Iran since the operation began Saturday. The operation has killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, according to The Associated Press. Additionally, six U.S. service members in Kuwait were killed in the hostilities.

IRAN’S DRONE SWARM ATTACKS UNLEASH ‘EXPONENTIAL COSTS’ ON US, PROLONGING WAR: ‘ASYMMETRIC CAPABILITY’
The ICRC has expressed concerns about the situation in Iran, and the organization’s president said on day one of Operation Epic Fury that it could have «devastating consequences for civilians.»
«The military escalation in the Middle East is igniting a dangerous chain reaction across the region, with potentially devastating consequences for civilians,» ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said.
In a statement issued a few days later, Spoljaric warned that «the scale of major military operations flaring across the Middle East risks embroiling the region — and beyond — into another large-scale armed conflict that will overwhelm any humanitarian response.»
«Without urgent steps to de-escalate the situation and respect the rules of war, further civilian lives will be lost,» Spoljaric added. «Civilians are already suffering the consequences of war.»

According to the civilian, Iranians on the ground are worried about the future and wonder how the war will play out. Another fear among the people is the possibility of supplies running out.
«The supplies are available in the shops that are open and work. But what if the situation gets worse or continues as it is now? Will the supplies being stocked be of any help, or will they be meaningless in the face of what can happen?» the civilian wondered.
«It is especially more worrying for people like me, who have to take care of people with medical complications that require special care. We are now under a lot of stress, worried to see what can come next.»

Virginia Dems mandate Jan. 6 be taught as ‘violent insurrection,’ ban election fraud claims in schools
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Virginia lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday that requires public schools to describe the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a violent attack and specifically prohibits teachers from framing it as a peaceful protest.
Virginia Democrats have quickly advanced a slew of controversial legislation since Gov. Abigail Spanberger was elected in November and their ranks ballooned in the state House, including a bid to redraw every Republican congressman except Rep. Morgan Griffith out of their seats to make the Democratic majority 10-1 in the state’s congressional delegation. Now, they are taking steps to shape how the history of Jan. 6 is taught to children.
HB 333, crafted by Del. Dan I. Helmer of Fairfax, bars public school programs from describing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a peaceful protest or presenting claims that widespread election fraud altered the 2020 presidential results as credible.
The bill specifically «prohibits» instruction that portrays the insurrection as peaceful or suggests there was «extensive election fraud» that could have changed the election outcome. However, it does not lay out any explicit criminal penalties for violations.

In a statement to the Virginia Mercury on the bill, Helmer said there is «real concern» that President Donald Trump is «trying to rewrite the history of January 6; borne out by the fact there is a WhiteHouse.gov site that presents a false history.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Virginia Republicans for comment.
The Virginia Assembly of Independent Baptists also came out against the bill, with executive director Michael Huffman testifying before a state Senate committee that the true education equips children for life, not political agendas, and glorifying or mandating … the dark day serves only short-sighted partisanship, not our kids’ future,» according to Hampton Roads’ PBS affiliate.
Helmer, an Iraq War veteran and staunch gun control advocate, was first elected by flipping what was Fairfax County’s last remaining Republican district, along its border with Prince William County, in 2020.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS MOVE TO SEIZE REDISTRICTING POWER, OPENING DOOR TO 4 NEW LEFT-LEANING SEATS
Helmer also announced a bid for Congress in one of the newly-redrawn districts nicknamed the «lobster» or the «scorpion» by critics – as it runs from the Potomac River in Arlington southwestward before splitting in two «claws» to reach out toward the West Virginia line near Rawley Springs and the other jutting down toward Goochland and Powhatan effectively collecting a swath of Republican-leaning towns and pitting them against a small but densely-populated Democrat stronghold.
One of his ads in a 2018 congressional bid compared Trump to Usama bin Laden, where he narrated that the «greatest threat to democracy» used to live «in a cave» but now «he lives in the White House.»
He had recused himself from the redistricting redraw, according to the New York Times, but is considered a top ally of House Speaker Don Scott, D-Portsmouth, who engineered the effort in the lower chamber.

While the new map has yet to get voters’ approval in an April special election, Helmer has also garnered at least one Democratic challenger in the would-be heavily Democratic-favored district.

Donald Trump anunció que reemplazará a Kristi Noem, secretaria de Seguridad de Estados Unidos y responsable del ICE
Donald Trump anunció que Kristi Noem dejará de ser la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional de Estados Unidos, para ocupar un lugar en el «Escudo de las Américas» que el republicano lanzará junto a presidentes aliados en la region. La reemplazará el senador Markwayne Mullin.
El anuncio llega apenas dos días de una audiencia de Noem en el Capitolio, donde la cuestionaron por la adjudicación de un importante contrato público. Noem era la encargada del polémico programa migratorio ICE, por el que ejecutaba redadas y deportaba inmigrantes.
Las críticas se potenciaron en enero, cuando un agente le disparó y mató a una mujer en un control en Mineápolis.
La salida de Noem se concretará el 31 de marzo, según confirmó el presidente estadounidense.
«Kristi Noem nos ha servido eficazmente y ha obtenido numerosos y espectaculares resultados (¡especialmente en la frontera!)», elogió Trump a la ahora exsecretaria.
Noem será enviada especial para el Escudo de las Américas, la organización que lanzará Trump el 7 de marzo en Miami, en un encuentro del que participarán diversos presidentes de la región aliados al republicano, entre ellos Javier Milei.
Su reemplazante, Markwayne Mullin, tiene 48 años y trabaja en el Congreso hace 12 años. Durante una década fue miembro de la Cámara de Representantes por el segundo distrito de Oklahoma. El 3 de enero de 2023 pasó a tener un lugar en el Senado de Estados Unidos.
«Con 10 años de servicio en la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos y 3 en el Senado, Markwayne ha realizado una excelente labor representando al maravilloso pueblo de Oklahoma, donde gané en los 77 condados, ¡en 2016, 2020 y 2024!», manifestó el presidente de Estados Unidos.
«Un guerrero MAGA y ex luchador profesional invicto de MMA, Markwayne se lleva muy bien con la gente y posee la sabiduría y el coraje necesarios para impulsar nuestra agenda de ‘América Primero’. Como el único nativo americano en el Senado, Markwayne es un defensor excepcional de nuestras increíbles comunidades tribales» , añadió el mandatario estadounidense.
Además, sugirió que Markwayne continuará la línea de trabajo de Noem, con la fuerza ICE en el centro de la estrategia de seguridad.
«Trabajará incansablemente para mantener nuestra frontera segura, detener la delincuencia migratoria, los asesinos y otros delincuentes que ingresan ilegalmente a nuestro país, acabar con el flagelo de las drogas ilegales y hacer que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser seguro. Markwayne será un excelente Secretario de Seguridad Nacional», apuntó Trump.
Trump anunció el cambio apenas dos días después de que Noem enfrentara un duro interrogatorio en el Capitolio por parte de miembros del Partido Republicano, así como de demócratas. En esas audiencias, la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional se vio en aprietos por la adjudicación de un importante contrato público.
Según la prensa, Trump habría tomado su decisión tras las audiencias de Noem en el Congreso, durante las cuales se vio en aprietos por la adjudicación de un importante contrato público.
Noem es la primera secretaria del gabinete en dejar el cargo durante el segundo mandato de Trump. La salida de Noem pone fin a un periodo turbulento al frente de tácticas de control migratorio, a través del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas y la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza, que fueron recibidas con protestas y demandas.
Ahora Noem representará a Estados Unidos en el «Escudo de las Américas», una organización en la que el presidente norteamericano trabajará con aliados de la región y que tendrá como objetivo la seguridad del hemisferio occidental, según la Casa Blanca.
Allí Trump coincidirá con Javier Milei. De hecho, Noem visitó la Argentina en julio pasado, cuando compartió un encuentro y un asado con Patricia Bullrich. También compartieron una cabalgata en Campo de Mayo.
Por esas horas, el Gobierno de Milei anunció el inicio de las gestiones para que los argentinos pudieran entrar sin visa a los Estados Unidos.
Noem y el presidente de Argentina se habían conocido en abril de 2025, cuando ambos fueron premiados junto a la ex modelo y hoy periodista Natalia Denegri en la Gala de los Patriotas Americanos, en Mar-a-Lago.
