Colorado police responded to a terror attack at a pro-Israel event in Boulder Sunday, leaving multiple people injured. 

It was the latest incident being investigated by federal authorities as domestic terrorism.

The U.S. has seen an increase in antisemitic attacks and violent pro-Palestinian protests amid the war between Israel and Hamas. 

But the incidents of domestic terrorism aren’t limited to antisemitism. Extremists who hold anti-American sentiment have attempted attacks on vehicles, military bases and more. 

Here is a breakdown of the domestic terrorism incidents in the U.S. in 2025: 

Terror in Boulder, Colorado

Boulder, Colorado, Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said his department received reports early Sunday afternoon of a man with a weapon and people being set on fire on Pearl Street. A male suspect with minor injuries was taken into police custody at the scene, Redfearn said.

Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman is now facing murder, assault and other charges following what the FBI called a ‘targeted terror attack’ in Boulder, Colorado. 

The violence against a pro-Israel group advocating for Hamas to release Israeli hostages left eight people, ages 52 to 88, with injuries, including one in critical condition, according to the FBI. Police responded to the area after receiving reports of a man with a weapon setting people on fire. 

‘Run for Their Lives,’ was the organization hosting the event. The group organizes run and walk events calling for the immediate release of all hostages being held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Soliman was charged with murder in the first degree — deliberation with intent; murder in the first degree — extreme indifference; crimes against at-risk adults/elderly; 1st degree assault — non-family; 1st degree assault — heat of passion; criminal attempt to commit class one and class two felonies; and use of explosives or incendiary devices during felony.

Soliman was also in the United States illegally, Fox News has learned. Soliman is an Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa. 

Boulder Police Department confirmed Monday that no victims have died. 

Soliman was booked into the Boulder County, Colorado, jail Sunday evening and remains held on a $10 million bond. 

Shooting outside Capital Jewish Museum in Washington 

On Wednesday, May 21,Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two staffers of the Embassy of Israel to the U.S. — a couple set to be engaged — were shot and killed as they left the museum’s event focused on finding humanitarian solutions for Gaza. 

Lischinsky was born in Israel and grew up in Germany. His father is Jewish, and his mother is Christian. Milgrim was an American employee of the embassy.

Authorities took Elias Rodriguez, a 31-year-old man from Chicago, into custody. Upon being taken into custody, Rodriguez began shouting, ‘Free, free Palestine!’ 

The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible hate crime and investigating any ties to terrorism. 

Steven Jensen, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington field office, said in a news conference that the federal law enforcement entity is working alongside the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to ‘look into ties to potential terrorism or motivation based on a bias-based crime or a hate crime.’

Palm Springs fertility clinic bombing

On May 17, a bombing took place at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. The bombing killed the suspect and injured four others.

Authorities identified the perpetrator of the incident as a 26-year-old suspect motivated by a fringe ideology known as ‘pro-mortalism.’ 

‘Pro-mortalism,’ a radical offshoot of anti-natalism, views human reproduction as inherently immoral and embraces death as a moral corrective.

According to federal and local law enforcement, the suspect targeted the American Reproductive Centers facility specifically to destroy human embryos stored on-site.

Surveillance footage and online postings suggest he parked in the rear of the building to remain unnoticed, ingested drugs and then detonated an explosive device — killing himself in the process. 

The FBI has classified the bombing as an act of domestic terrorism, citing the ideological motivation behind the violence. 

Officials have said that it is the first high-profile case linked to the pro-mortalist ideology and are now monitoring it as a potential emerging threat. Authorities have urged families and communities to remain vigilant for signs of ideological extremism, especially among those who may feel disenfranchised. 

Attempted mass shooting at Michigan military base 

In May, a former Michigan Army National Guard member, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, was arrested for allegedly planning a mass shooting near the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) center at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan. 

Said planned to carry out the attack on behalf of ISIS. 

Said allegedly ‘launched his drone in support of the attack plan’ and told an undercover FBI agent in the lead-up to the foiled plot he recommended that ‘everyone have about seven magazines because you don’t want to be in there and run out of ammo,’ according to officials. 

Said is now facing charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years per count if convicted. 

The FBI disrupted the attempted attack, with FBI Director Kash Patel telling Fox News Digital that any individual targeting the U.S. military or conspiring with foreign terrorist organizations will be ‘prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’ 

‘Let this be a warning: Anyone who targets our military or conspires with foreign terrorist organizations will be found, stopped and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,’ Patel told Fox News Digital. ‘I commend the men and women of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and our law enforcement partners for their continued dedication to protecting the American people.’

Tesla attacks 

Since January, there have been a number of instances of vandalism, arson and targeted shootings against Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations across the nation. 

Tesla vehicles and dealerships have been targeted nationwide amid Elon Musk’s involvement with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been focused on slashing wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government. Musk is the co-founder and CEO of Tesla. 

The FBI launched a task force to crack down on violent Tesla attacks. 

The FBI’s task force was created in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and will coordinate investigative activity.

A threat tag has been created at the FBI to streamline reports and a command post at FBI headquarters has been created. It consists of a joint FBI/ATF task force to mitigate that threat stream. 

The FBI is treating the attacks as ‘domestic terrorism.’ Attorney General Pam Bondi called the attacks on Tesla ‘domestic terrorism,’ and the Department of Justice announced charges against suspects in Tesla arson cases. 

Musk spoke out against the ‘deranged’ attacks, suggesting that ‘there’s some kind of mental illness thing going on here, because this doesn’t make any sense.’ The billionaire even alluded to ‘larger forces’ potentially behind the attacks that have sprung up across the nation.

Progressive California Rep. Maxine Waters’ campaign has agreed to pay a $68,000 fine after an investigation found it violated multiple election rules.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) said the longtime House lawmaker’s 2020 campaign committee, Citizens for Waters, ran afoul of several campaign finance laws in a tranche of documents released Friday.

The FEC accused Citizens for Waters of ‘failing to accurately report receipts and disbursements in calendar year 2020,’ ‘knowingly accepting excessive contributions’ and ‘making prohibited cash disbursements,’ according to one document that appears to be a legally binding agreement that allows both parties to avoid going to court.

Waters’ committee agreed to pay the civil fine as well as ‘send its treasurer to a Commission-sponsored training program for political committees within one year of the effective date of this Agreement.’

‘Respondent shall submit evidence of the required registration and attendance at such event to the Commission,’ the document said.

Citizens for Waters had accepted excessive campaign contributions from seven people totaling $19,000 in 2019 and 2020, the investigation found, despite the maximum legal individual contribution being capped at $2,800.

The committee offloaded those excessive donations, albeit in an ‘untimely’ fashion, the document said.

Waters’ campaign committee also ‘made four prohibited cash disbursements that were each in excess of $100, totaling $7,000,’ the FEC said. 

The campaign committee ‘contends that it retained legal counsel to provide advice and guidance to the treasurer and implemented procedures to ensure the disbursements comply with the requirements of the Act.’

Leilani Beaver, who was listed as Citizens for Waters’ attorney, sent the FEC a letter last year that maintained the campaign finance violations were ‘errors’ that ‘were not willful or purposeful.’

Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, has served in Congress since 1991.

The new movements in the probe were first reported by OpenSecrets.

It is not the first time, however, that Waters has generated public scrutiny.

In 2023, a Fox News Digital investigation found that Waters’ campaign paid her daughter $192,300 to pay for a ‘slate mailer’ operation between Jan. 2021 and Dec. 2022.

It was reportedly just one sum out of thousands that Waters had paid her daughter for campaign work.

A complaint that Waters’ campaign had accepted illegal campaign contributions in 2018 was overwhelmingly dismissed by the FEC in a 5-1 vote.

Fox News Digital reached out to Beavers, Waters’ congressional office and Citizens for Waters for comment.

Battleground Pennsylvania senators – Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Dave McCormick – both spoke out against antisemitism during a bipartisan forum in response to a recent attack on a pro-Israel gathering in Colorado. 

‘This is something that I’m terribly worried about, the growth of antisemitism here in our country is something I know Sen. Fetterman and I share,’ McCormick said in the sixth installment of The Senate Project series, organized by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation and aired by FOX Nation.

‘We see this deeply seated in our society,’ said McCormick, who recently returned from a trip to Israel. ‘And it’s something that we have to stand up against with complete moral clarity. It’s something that we have to push back, and it’s something we have to, require, a mandate that our institutions extricate themselves of antisemitism.’

Fetterman also condemned the Colorado attack, along with the other high-profile attacks against Jewish people in recent weeks, and pointed out that he is at odds with many in his party on the issue. 

‘What happened yesterday in Boulder? It’s astonishing,’ Fetterman said. ‘ You know, the kinds of, the rank antisemitism, it’s out of control, and for me and as my friend just pointed out, this is just rampant across all the universities for all of these places, too. I mean, we really need to call it what it is. And now and for me, politically, being very, very firmly on the side of Israel, that kind of put parts of my party at odds for that.’

Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman is now facing murder, assault and other charges following what the FBI called a ‘targeted terror attack’ in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend after he allegedly attacked a pro-Israel group. 

Fox News Digital reported that Soliman is in the country illegally from Egypt.

‘Now we really lost,’ Fetterman continued, ‘we’ve lost the argument and – parts of my party, and for me – that moral clarity, it’s really firmly on Israel. And of course, we can all agree the tragedy in Gaza. Nobody wants that. But who does want that? And that’s Hamas. And if you have been troubled, as I am, the death and the misery, you know, I think we should blame Iran and Hamas, and other people blame Israel. I refuse to allow try to turn Israel into a pariah state.’

McCormick went on to say that ‘there needs to be constant pressure on Hamas, to destroy the military capability of Hamas.’

The Senate Project series brings together sitting senators from opposing parties for civil dialogue about current political issues, with the goal of identifying solutions and bridging partisan divides. The series reflects the shared mission of the Kennedy Institute and Hatch Foundation to advance bipartisanship.

‘Vigorous and open dialogue is an essential part of our democracy and having these two senators from opposite sides of the aisle discuss important issues of the day is a valuable contribution to the public discourse,’ Kennedy Institute Chairman Bruce A. Percelay said in a statement.

Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

As Elon Musk steps away from his official role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he joins a history of presidential administrations that have attempted to streamline government – with mixed results.

While former Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland all tried to downsize the judiciary, treasury and civil service, respectively, it wasn’t until the 20th century that the federal government grew into the bureaucratic behemoth it is that has drawn true DOGE-type attention.

Though often seen as the bigger spenders, some Democrats joined Republicans in the 1990s to shrink the size of government and make it more accountable to taxpayers.

‘We know big government does not have all the answers,’ former President Bill Clinton said during his 1996 State of the Union.

‘We know there’s not a program for every problem. We have worked to give the American people a smaller, less bureaucratic government in Washington – and we have to give the American people one that lives within its means.’

‘The era of big government is over,’ he said, in a phrase that had largely been considered the closest emulation of DOGE thought until Musk arrived on the scene.

Clinton also sought welfare reform and emphasized personal responsibility over dependency on the state.

The Arkansan also called for slashing the bureaucracy by 200,000 jobs and worked with then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., to balance the federal budget.

President Donald Trump’s efforts to do the same have received a very different response from the left.

Clinton, working with congressional Republicans – while also frequently sparring with them – was able to reduce the federal workforce somewhat and establish a budget surplus but also failed to realize entitlement reform, something that more recent fiscal hawks have also struggled with.

Clinton won his 1992 upset as a centrist, after incumbent Republican George H.W. Bush was lambasted for reneging on his ‘Read my lips – no new taxes’ pledge, with a statistical boost from industrialist independent H. Ross Perot, who won the votes of many erstwhile Bush supporters.

Clinton and then-Vice President Al Gore established a National Performance Review (NPR) that drew some parallels to today’s DOGE, and cut the bureaucracy to 1960s levels.

Bill Clinton went on to win re-election over otherwise popular GOP stalwart Sen. Bob Dole, of Kansas, in 1996.

In 1980, actor-turned-California Gov. Ronald Reagan took the White House with promises similar to another celebrity-turned-politician who would do the same 36 years later.

The Gipper did not succeed in abolishing the Department of Education – created only a few years prior by President Jimmy Carter – something Trump has also sought.

But, he reinvigorated a new generation of conservatives who still praise him for slashing income taxes, seeking to ‘starve the beast’ via forced discretionary-spending cuts, and took on public-sector unions when he essentially won a dare against air traffic controllers who went on strike by firing them all and prohibiting their rehiring.

Reagan’s closest iteration of DOGE was the 1982 Grace Commission, studying cost-cutting and efficiency – and led by Maryland chemical executive J. Peter Grace along with dozens of ‘commissioners’ plucked from the private sector.

In the executive order creating the Grace Commission, it was tasked with examining ‘the entire federal government for areas of inefficiency, mismanagement and waste, and to recommend savings without raising taxes or cutting essential services.’

Within its three-year lifespan, the commission reported $424 billion in savings, including waste, fraud, abuse, over payments to government vendors and billions in unpaid taxes.

Reagan, however, faced the same resistance from the proverbial ‘Swamp’ in trying to implement the commission’s findings.

‘We’re not trying to hurt anyone. But the American taxpayer is being ripped off,’ Grace said at the time.

While ushered in as a conservative pragmatist, Reagan’s later years saw budget deficits grow, and the national debt more than double. The Dow also lost nearly one-quarter of its value on ‘Black Monday,’ Oct. 19, 1987.

The other contemporary president known for trying to ‘DOGE’ government was Texas Democrat Lyndon Johnson. LBJ was known for rapidly expanding government through his ‘Great Society’ social programs but also took aim at streamlining the Pentagon and Defense apparatus.

Efforts at the Pentagon largely failed, as the ongoing Vietnam War also accentuated costly balance sheets.

Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a Kennedy holdover and former Ford Motor Company chief, was employed to make changes at the Pentagon.

He instituted what was called the Planning Programming Budgeting System, which sought to bring a more streamlined approach to managing the Pentagon’s budget.

However, the vast size of the defense bureaucracy – along with resistance from some military leaders – undermined the effectiveness of Johnson’s and McNamara’s reform efforts.
