A construction law attorney in Colorado has been receiving death threats due to being mistaken as the immigration attorney representing the family of Mohamed Soliman, the suspect of the Boulder terror attack.

The man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a group participating in a peaceful demonstration on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder filed an asylum claim in September 2022 after coming into the United States on a visitor visa the month before, federal officials said.

While Mohamed Soliman occupies a cell in Boulder County Jail in Colorado, hundreds of miles away, his wife and five children are also in detention, at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
