Here's what's happeningThe Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a Tennessee law banning specific transgender medical treatments for adolescents in the state is not discriminatory, ruling 6-3 to uphold the law.At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.That law prohibits states from allowingmedical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex READ MORE.CLEAR RED LINE: White House maintains Trump consistent in firm stance on Iran nukes and shows off receiptsSURVEY SAYS: Where Trump stands in the eyes of Americans five months into his second presidencyGLOBAL GAGGLE: G7 with early Trump departure does not yield agreements on matters like world conflictsANTISEMITISM SPREADS: UN commission accuses Israel of 'extermination' in controversial reportKEEPING FAITH: 'Jewish Matchmaking' star living in Israel has hope amid conflicts with Hamas, IranDEADLY REACH: In Iran's forever war against the US, regime has targeted, killed Americans worldwideCONFLICT INTENSIFIES: Iran warns US joining conflict would mean 'all-out war,' refuses demands to give up disputed nuclear program'VERY BIG': Trump weighs striking Iranian nuclear facilities: 'I may do it, I may not do it'DRONE FORCE RISING: Eyes in the sky: Army drone expert explains US strategy on innovation as global conflict loomsTROUBLING PATTERN: FBI Director Patel says man who threatened Trump used same message as Comey's 'destructive' Instagram postENEMY AT THE GATES: Senators Ricketts, Fetterman unite against China's quiet invasion of US farmlandPRESIDENCY IN NAME: Senate hearing on who was 'really running' Biden White House kicks off WednesdayTAXPAYER TAB: Migrant influx helping drive $1B shelter bill in Massachusetts, report showsMAINTAINING ORDER: Trump admin deploys 2,000 more troops to blue city for anti-ICE riotsONE ON THE RUN: Third illegal immigrant captured after ICE facility breakoutMASSIVE BUST: Louisiana racetrack ICE raid nets more than 80 illegal migrants during worksite enforcement operationEVIL KNOCKING: Suspected Tren de Aragua gang members terrorize apartment complex in shocking doorbell videoSAFETY AND SECURITY: Potential Youngkin successor focused on message to keep Virginia 'red'COMEBACK OR COLLAPSE: Cuomo's lead shrinks with under one week until New York City mayoral primary: pollPOLITICAL TOUCHDOWN: State senator, Indian immigrant, pulls upset in Virginia Democratic lieutenant governor's racePRIVACY BETRAYED: Republicans demand answers on California program accused of leaking patient health data to Big Tech'BETRAYED OUR STATE': GOP Louisiana state senator says he's running for US Senate because incumbent Republican 'sucks'Get the latest updates on the Trump administration and Congress, exclusive interviews and more on FoxNews.com.

Bad Bunny could be heard insulting the ICE agents over the recording in Spanish."Look, those motherf------s are in these cars, RAV-4s. Theyre here in Pontezuela," he said in Spanish, mentioning ICE working on the Avenida Pontezuela in Carolina, a city east of Puerto Ricos capital, San Juan.TRUMP ADMIN ASKS SCOTUS TO AUTHORIZE RAPID MIGRANT DEPORTATIONS TO COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THEIR OWN"Sons of b------, instead of leaving the people alone and working there," he added.ICE has ramped up operations in the U.S. territory since President Donald Trumps inauguration. Spanish newspaper El Pas reported on June 1 that 445 people have been detained on the island since Jan. 26."The vast majority are men, and nearly 72% of those detained are Dominican citizens, followed by Haitians, Venezuelans and Mexicans," the outlet stated.The report described the city as being "under siege" thanks to the federal governments raids.BORDER PATROL CHIEF REVEALS 'PHENOMENAL' SHIFT AS MIGRANT RELEASE PLUMMET TO ZEROPuerto Ricos governor, Jenniffer Gonzlez-Coln a Republican who supported Trump in the 2024 election has stated that she will not get in the way of ICE operations, even those done in churches and hospitals.Gonzlez-Coln stated that she "cannot afford" to risk losing federal funds by interrupting deportations operations.The subject of illegal immigration enforcement has reached a fever pitch in the United States in recent weeks. Protests against Trumps immigration crackdown turned violent in Los Angeles last week, with the president calling in the National Guard and several hundred U.S. Marines to quell the chaos.The artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martnez Ocasio, is the latest to join the growing chorus of celebrities decrying Trumps immigration agenda.Kim Kardashian, whose sister Kendall Jenner dated Bad Bunny in 2023, made waves on social media earlier this month by denouncing the Los Angeles ICE raids as "inhumane."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"When were told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals great.

Arizona and Texas are expected to have more of the border wall constructed following recent actions from the federal government.In the Grand Canyon State, U.S. Customs and Border Protection gave Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. over $300 million to build 27 miles of the wall in the Tucson Sector, which was a hotbed of illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The contractor was used throughout Trumps first term in office.Specifically, the development will be in Santa Cruz County a largely rural county that includes Nogales, and the funds were already allocated in the CBPs 2021 budget, according to CBP. While Biden was in office, many border wall contracts were scrapped, leading to materials left sitting at the border, including in the Tucson Sector.TRUMP'S BORDER WALL EXPANSION MOVES FORWARD IN SEVERAL CRITICAL AREAS: 'CRISIS IS NOT YET OVER'Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has taken multiple steps to speed up border wall construction in areas where there are gaps in Arizona, California, and Texas, mostly through granting environmental waivers to avoid "administrative delays."The Wednesday announcement noted that a fifth waiver was signed off by the secretary, which will be used for 17 miles of wall in Texass Rio Grande Valley Sector.Earlier this month, DHS cleared the way for 36 miles in wall development in Arizona and New Mexico, including in the Tucson, El Paso, and Yuma Sectors. In addition, the Golden State is also expected to have further wall construction with environmental waivers being cleared earlier this year."We applaud President Trump's commitment to border security, and we look forward to the completion of the wall across the entire southern border," Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines said at the time.REPUBLICAN AGS VISIT US-MEXICO BORDER WALL AS TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' CLEARS EXPANSION FUNDING"The border crisis is not yet over, and our federal government must continue to equip the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents with the tools, technologies, and resources necessary to provide adequate national security to keep America safe," Lines continued.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEOpponents of wall construction have long cited environmental concerns, such as a risk to wildlife. Blue states, as well as advocacy groups like the Sierra Club and the American Civil Liberties Union, have sued the federal government in the recent past over the wall.Meanwhile, the southern border has been quiet since President Donald Trump took office in January.TRUMP ADMIN'S DOT ANNOUNCES DEAL FOR HIGH-TECH BORDER CHECKPOINT IN CRUCIAL CALIFORNIA SECTORIn May, zero individuals who crossed illegally were released into the U.S. interior, compared with 62,000 last year, according to CBP. Migrant encounters have also taken a significant tumble, with just under 9,000 encounters last month compared with nearly 118,000 last year."Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year," Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of CBP, said in a statement. "Border numbers continue to trend at historic lows, reinforcing the sustained success of our enforcement efforts in securing the homeland and protecting American communities."

FIRST ON FOX: A female educator, pageant winner, and interpreter from China who has multiple ties to the Chinese Communist Party has cozied up to several top Democrats in New York over the last four to five years, a Fox News Digital review found.Wang Zaozao, who also goes by "Linda,"was born and raised in Anqing, China. After going to school and specializing in "Chinese-English interpretation for three years" in her native country, she moved to the United States to further her education at Columbia University, according to her website bio. Her education then led to her founding the Zao Learning Center in 2018, which caters to the "training of children models/actors with bilingual language skills" and has multiple training centers in New York and Taiwan.In addition to working as an educator and teaching hundreds of children of Chinese descent in New York, she has been a "bilingual emcee/TV host for about a decade" at dozens of "large-scale cultural events," which have featured several top Democrats, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. An archived version of Wang's Zao Center says it provides "excellent learning atmosphere and professional training to set you off to succeed in the mainstream modeling/entertainment industry."As part of her educational qualifications, she touts on her website that she has obtained the "Advanced Interpretation Qualification Certificate" and the Teacher Qualification Certificate issued by the Ministry of Education of China (MOE), which is a key organ of the CCP and plays a crucial role in helping "formulate the curriculum" in Chinese schools and abroad for international educational exchanges, according to their website.FORMER TOP HOCHUL AIDE'S UNEARTHED FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO CCP RAISES ALARM BELLSThe MOE also directs the "construction of the [Chinese Communist] Party in institutions of higher learning" in addition to working with multiple other CCP departments. A 2017 report from The Diplomat revealed that the Ministry of Education spent five years revising liberal arts textbooks in order to emphasize the importance of "socialist core values" for students. The report went on to highlight how "new textbooks focus on strengthening the revolutionary tradition of the CCP.""Chinese textbooks include a large number of articles about Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and other CCP leaders," the report continued. "The new textbooks elaborate on Chinese President Xi Jinpings more hard-line foreign policy, making sure that the students have a strong sense of Chinas territorial situation."Wang has posted over 2,000 photos on her Instagram profile, which includes a mix of pageants, Chinese cultural events, and includes several photos with Democratic politicians and CCP diplomats. Earlier this month, she posed for a "selfie" with a smiling Mayor Adams and CCP diplomat Chen Li, who is serving as the consul general of the People's Republic of China, in New York, at the AAPI Heritage Month parade in Manhattan."So happy to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new friends," said Wang, who has taken several photos with Adams over the years. "Snuck in a quick photo with Consul General Ambassador Chen Li and Mayor Eric Adams before dashing to the next event."On June 3, she posted on Instagram that she hosted the 2025 East Coast Chinese Alumni Associations' Summer picnic and Culture Festival and that it was "such a joy to share the stage with Congressman Josh Gottheimer, the Mayor and Council Members of Palisades Park."BLUE STATE GOVERNOR TOUTS MEETING WITH CCP OFFICIAL COZYING UP TO DEMS: 'GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY'A Gottheimer spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the Democratic congressman "was invited by a local Chinese American community association and shared the stage with several other people during that event.""Congressman Gottheimer and his team have no relationship with the individual in question, and the Congressman is leading multiple pieces of legislation to crack down on the Chinese Communist Party our known adversary," the spokesperson continued.BLUE STATE GOVERNOR TOUTS MEETING WITH CCP OFFICIAL COZYING UP TO DEMS: 'GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY'In February, Wang posted a video on stage with Li, who has repeatedly praised the CCP and denied Uyghur genocide, and Schumer at the Brooklyn Lantern Festival Parade. Wang not only served as the parades host, but also served as a translator for Schumers address.Schumer came under fire earlier this year for posing with Li at the Lunar New Year Parade.Another post from September 2024 shows Wang posing with Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., at an opera event in New York. A Goldman spokesperson said, "We have no idea who this person is" after Fox News Digital reached out for comment."It was my third time hosting the AAPI culture heritage month parade in mid-town Manhattan New York City," Wang wrote last May with a photo of her and Adams smiling together. "Glad to see [NYC Mayor] Eric Adams again."Wang also says she is "currently a consultant to the Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification in New York, and a special reporter for the overseas station of Fujian Daily Southeast Network," which are both directly tied to the CCP.The Association for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification in New York has been repeatedly mentioned in reports coordinating with the CCP's United Front system, which has been called a "magic weapon" by Chinese President Xi Jinping due to its success at advancing the CCP's interests at home and abroad. According to a 2012 holiday greeting to House and Senate lawmakers, the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPNR) formed at least 17 affiliates, including the New York chapter. A 2019 report from the Jamestown Foundation also said the United Front acts as one of the "key executive agents" of the council "to exert control over ethnic Chinese communities abroad.""Front organizations such as the CPPRC represent one of the primary mechanisms employed by the CCP in its patient, long-term campaign to undermine the democratic norms and open debatenot only within China itself, but internationallythat the CCP views as threats to its own hold on power," the report continued.Fujian Daily Southeast Network, is the same Beijing-backed organization for which Winnie Greco, a disgraced former fundraiser for Adams who served as a special adviser and his director of Asian Affairs, was a consultant. Grecos home was raided by FBI agents in 2024 amid a federal probe related to political fundraising during Adams' 2021 campaign. The corruption indictment against Adams was dropped earlier this year. It is unclear whether Greco is in China or New York.In 2022 and 2023, Wang posted multiple photos posing with Schumer and Adams at various parades, including the Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown. A few of the 2023 photos that included Schumer thanked him for "always supporting our Chinese community event." More photos from 2022 show her posing with Mayor Adams, including her attending an Asian Pacific Cultural Heritage month event at Mayor Adams mansion.BROTHER-IN-LAW OF TOP DEM SENATOR PLAYED KEY ROLE IN RECRUITING CHINESE FIRMS TO DEEP BLUE CITY"New Mayor of NYC! You are our old friend," Wang captioned a photo on the same day Adams was sworn into office. The event appears to be from a fundraiser for Adams as part of the transition ahead of the inauguration. The photo shows the pair sitting close together and giving a thumbs up while she held a microphone.Months before becoming the mayor, Wang posted a photo at an Adams fundraiser and said she "hosted the fundraising event for mayoral candidate [Eric Adams.]"The following month, she posed with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has come under fire for hiring multiple CCP-tied staffers, and Schumer at the Lunar New Year Parade. Fox News Digital exclusively reported earlier this month that a top ex-aide to Hochul was the daughter of a former Chinese journalist whose archived biography says he worked for the Chinese Communist Partys (CCP) "Education Department of the News Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department" as a deputy director and served in multiple leadership roles at state-run media outlets."Honored to be the host [Eric Adams] is our old friend who listens to us and help[sic] us," Wang said in a July 2021 Instagram post that includes a photo of Wang holding an Eric L. Adams "Asian Volunteer Group" certificate signed by Adams.Despite Adams taking several photos with Wang at various events, including earlier this month, hosting a campaign fundraiser for him, and attending at least one event at the mayor's mansion, a spokesperson for his office distanced the mayor from her, telling Fox News Digital that the "Adams administration does not work with this individual.""Thousands of community members take photographs with the Mayor at public events," the spokesperson added.Arran Hope, the editor of China Brief at the Jamestown Foundation, sounded the alarm about Wang when Fox News Digital reached out about her CCP ties, noting how she "appears to be deeply involved with organizations in New York City that have strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party's united front system," including "anniversary galas for united front organizations such as the U.S.Fujian Tangtou Friendship Association () and the New York Chapter of the United Chinese American Association ().""Wang's ties to the CCP go beyond merely compring events. As reported on the website of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Body, the central united front organization led by a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, Wang is the general secretary () of the New York branch of the United Chinese Association of America ()," Hope said. "She is also an adviser to the New York Association for Peaceful Reunification () and has been a guest reporter for the overseas coverage of Fujian Daily, a Party media outlet.""Her work has been featured in the People's Daily, the mouthpiece of the CCP Central Committee, and other state outlets," he continued. "In February 2020, at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, she responded to the call of the United Front Work Department to support epidemic prevention measures in China, helping to coordinate sending funds and other items to frontline workers in Wuhan."'COMING FOR US': EXPERT SOUNDS ALARM ON CCP'S MISSION TO 'KILL AMERICANS' AFTER FBI MAKES SHOCKING ARRESTSIn addition to Democrats, Wang posted several photos with Huang Ping, the controversial predecessor to Chen Li who was referenced dozens of times in the unsealed indictment against Gov. Hochuls former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun, last year.The unsealed indictment revealed that a speechwriter for then-Lt. Gov. Hochul wanted to mention the "Uyghur situation" in China for her 2021 Lunar New Year message, but the plight of the minority group being persecuted by the Chinese government was ultimately omitted after Sun overruled the speechwriter.The indictment says Sun revealed to Ping what the speechwriter wanted to include but insisted that she would not let her boss mention Uyghurs after admitting that she was "starting to lose her temper" with the speechwriter. Ping appeared to chalk up the speechwriters suggestion as a clueless American who had never visited China and that U.S.-China relations could "sour" because of "people like the speechwriter," the indictment said, prompting Sun to concur that the speechwriter had never visited China. Ping would go on to post Hochuls Lunar New Year message days later on his Facebook page, which did not mention Uyghurs.In addition to taking several photos with Ping, who has repeatedly called the CCP a "great party," she revealed on her company website that she was "invited by the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in New York to teach adult English courses for its staff.""Photos with Ambassador Huang Ping and his beautiful wife and world renowned soprano - Inva Mila," Wang wrote in September 2024 on Instagram. "It was an honor to share the evening with such esteemed guests and artists.""Honored to host the farewell dinner for Ambassador Huang Ping as we celebrate his remarkable contributions to strengthening ties between the U.S. and China," Wang wrote. "A night to remember, full of warmth, gratitude, and unity."In an Instagram post from 2022, Wang posted a "selfie" and said she was "honored to be the MC and met Chinese Counsel General Ambassador Huang Ping at the first Asian Pacific American Cultural Parade."Fox News Digital reached out to Wang and the offices of Hochul and Schumer.

The wife of accused Boulder, Colorado attacker and illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman released her first public statement pleading for the American people's help after a Texas U.S. District Court judge on Wednesday ruled the family will be allowed to remain in the country pending deportation efforts.Soliman, 45, is accused of injuring more than a dozen people after throwing Molotov cocktails into a crowd of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators, while yelling, "Free Palestine." Following the attack, federal authorities detained Soliman's wife, Hayem El Gamal, and five children, who lived about two hours away in Colorado Springs.A Colorado judge ruled last week that since El Gamal and the children were removed by federal officials and sent to Texas, any judicial relief had to come from a judge with jurisdiction.U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia, in San Antonio, issued a 14-day extension of the previously issued order prohibiting the familys deportation.BOULDER SUSPECT SPENT A YEAR PLANNING MOLOTOV COCKTAIL ATTACK ON PRO-ISRAEL MARCH: DOCSFollowing Garcia's decision, El Gamal, through an attorney, released her first public statement regarding the case."My five children and I are in total shock over what they sa[w] my husband d[o] in Boulder, Colorado earlier this month," El Gamal wrote. "So many lives were ruined on that day. There is never an excuse for hurting innocent people. We have been cooperating with the authorities, who are trying their best to get to the bottom of this. We send our love to the many families who are suffering as a result of the attack."MOHAMED SOLIMAN ALLEGEDLY PLANNED MOLOTOV COCKTAIL ATTACK AFTER GUN PURCHASE DENIAL: DOCSShe explained the aftermath of the attack from her perspective, detailing a late-night flight and stay at an immigration jail in Texas."This includes my two four-year-old children, my seven-year-old, my fifteen-year-old, and my oldest daughter, who just turned eighteen in jail," she wrote. "We are grieving, and we are suffering. We are treated like animals by the officers, who told us we are being punished for what my husband is accused of doing. But why punish me? Why punish my four-year-old children? Why punish any of us, who did nothing wrong?"Since coming to America three years ago, El Gamal claimed the family "tried to do everything right," obtaining work permits, learning English and teaching the U.S.'s official language to other immigrants."We have always tried to be good neighbors, cooking food for those around us regardless of whether they are Muslim, Christian or Jewish," she wrote. "I do not judge anyone based on his religion. If your heart is good, thats enough."WIFE OF COLORADO FIREBOMBING SUSPECT BROUGHT JEWISH NEIGHBORS WELCOME GIFT WEEKS PRIOR TO ATTACKThe reference to neighbors practicing other religions comes weeks after Fox News Digital interviewed an observant Jewish family who recently moved into the same neighborhood as the suspect's family.In the days following the attack, David and Rivkah Costello described the horror of finding out that their neighbor had been charged in connection to the alleged hate crime.As the couple unpacked boxes, they said El Gamal showed up at their door, adorned with a mezuzah, offering cupcakes to welcome them to the neighborhood."All I want is to give my children good lives," El Gamal continued in statement. "My oldest daughter volunteered at a hospital; she has a 4.5 GPA and wants to become a doctor, to help people in this country. My kids want to go to school, they want to see their friends and deal with their grief from recent weeks. But here they cant sleep. They cry throughout the day, asking me, When will we get to go home?"She claimed when they were first detained, her children were "forced" to watch officials "rough-up" another detainee, adding they lacked privacy and decent meals."Only mothers can truly understand what we are going through," El Gamal wrote. "I did everything for my kids. It has been two weeks in jail, how much longer will we be here for something we didnt do? How much longer until the damage to my children is irreversible? It has been so hard for me to stay strong for my kids. Im so tired. I ask the American people, with all my heart, to please listen to our story and help us."

Conservatives on social media rejoiced on social media Wednesday after the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning gender-transition treatments for adolescents.In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.Conservatives on social media, who viewed the ruling as a win for parents' rights, quickly praised the court ruling."A huge victory," conservative commentator Matt Walsh posted on X. "A fatal blow to the child mutilation industry. We won."FORMER US OLYMPIC COACH OPENS UP ON SUING USA FENCING BOARD AMID TRANS ATHLETE POLICY DISAGREEMENTS"A massive win for sanity," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X."This is a massive!"

Federal authorities at a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon testified the accused Boulder, Colorado Molotov bomber, illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, used Israeli flags to target victims and had the Muslim liberation year "1187" written on clothing items in his car.Soliman, 45, is charged with multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, possession of incendiary devices, and more than a dozen counts of attempted use of an incendiary device in connection to the June 1 terror attack that injured 12 people.He is also facing federal charges for allegedly committing a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion or national origin.BOULDER TERROR ATTACK SUSPECT SHOWED SIGNS OF GROWING LONE-WOLF RADICALIZATION, SAYS FORMER FBI SUPERVISORDuring the hearing in a Denver federal courtroom, government attorney Melissa Hindman argued there is evidence to support the hate crime charge, specifically for targeting national origin."He explained that Zionism and Zionists were the people occupying Palestine and, more specifically, Israel and Jerusalem," Hindman said."He defines his enemy and his target as Zionists."Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agent Timothy Chan, who interviewed Soliman, took the stand and testified Solimans targets on June 1 were those he considered Zionists, and "he intended to kill Zionists."Investigators allegedly found 1187 on clothing and other items in Solimans car, which Chan said was the year Israel was liberated by the Muslims.When asked why Soliman targeted the group Run for Their Lives, Chan told the court Soliman made an internet search specifically for "Zionists events" in Boulder and "thats how he found them."Following the attack, Soliman allegedly told investigators he used Israeli flags to identify those he considered Zionists.WIFE OF BOULDER FIREBOMBING SUSPECT BEGS AMERICANS FOR HELP WHILE JUDGE DELAYS DEPORTATIONSolimans attorney, David Kraut, pointed out his client made statements to Chan differentiating between Zionists and Jews, also noting the 1187 number could refer to other significant dates.Magistrate Judge Kathryn Starnella said the case raises a legal question of how the term Zionism can be defined, questioning if it is a political movement or type of national origin.Hindman acknowledged the issue was "complicated.""The defendant isnt using the term Israel," Hindman argued."In all of his words, what he is showing is he is targeting Israelis and anyone who supports the existence of Israel on that land."Kraut argued Solimans definition of Zionism "hinges on political views.""National origin of the victims in this case did not matter," Kraut said, before telling the judge the hate crime statute didn't apply.Hindman argued there was written evidence that Soliman believed Zionists are the occupiers of Jerusalem, and the occupier of Jerusalem is the nation of Israel.TIMELINE EXPOSES BOULDER SUSPECT'S MOVEMENTS BEFORE ALLEGEDLY CARRYING OUT FIREBOMB ATTACK ON PRO-ISRAEL GROUPDuring testimony, Soliman, who was wearing a brown crew-neck t-shirt and an interpreters headset, slightly rocked in his seat and looked around the courtroom. While there were no cameras in the courtroom, a Fox News reporter noted he had a cast on his right hand.After a brief recess, Judge Starnella said while there is debate around the second element of the statutewhich is whether Soliman was motivated by national origin and how that is definedshe found probable cause for the case to move forward.Starnella told Solimans attorneys she "understands that there is evidence that cuts against the national origin theory," but said it is up to a jury to decide.The court will reconvene June 27 for an arraignment and detention hearing. Soliman has not yet been indicted.

John Cornyn, R-Texas, announced the investigation on Tuesday.In a press statement, Paxtons office said it was made aware of the potential illegal votes by Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. The statement said Nelson was only able to access the information because of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump this March.Trumps executive order, titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections," directed the Departments of State and Homeland Security to give all states "access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered."RED STATE TOPS ANNUAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION SCORECARD FOR STRONGEST ELECTION INTEGRITY: 'HARD TO CHEAT'The order also directed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to provide U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi with "complete information on all foreign nationals who have indicated on any immigration form that they have registered or voted in a Federal, State, or local election, and shall also take all appropriate action to submit to relevant State or local election officials such information."Part of this order involved the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services SAVE database being opened up to the states at no cost, through which Nelson was able to access the information about the alleged illegal voting, according to Paxtons statement.Trump said in the order that "free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic" and "the right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election."DOJ SUES NORTH CAROLINA OVER VOTER ROLLSIn August 2024, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state had removed 1.1 million people from its voter rolls, including individuals who had moved out-of-state, were deceased or who were non-citizens.A statement by the governors office said that over 6,500 of the individuals removed from the states voter rolls were potential noncitizens. The statement said that approximately 1,930 of the removed noncitizens had a voter history.Later reporting by the Texas Tribune alleged that the governors office had inflated the numbers of noncitizen voters. The governors office, however, has said that the removal process "has been, and will continue to be, ongoing."TEXAS GOVERNOR MAKES IT 'CRYSTAL CLEAR' ONLY U.S. CITIZENS CAN VOTE IN STATE ELECTIONSIn his Tuesday statement announcing the investigation into the 33 potential noncitizens voting, Paxton said that "these potential instances of unlawful voting will be thoroughly investigated, and I will continue to stand with President Trump in fighting to ensure that our states elections are safe and secure.""In order to be able to trust the integrity of our elections, the results must be determined by our own citizensnot foreign nationals breaking the law to illegally vote," said Paxton, adding that "noncitizens must not be allowed to influence American elections, and I will use the full weight of my office to investigate all voter fraud."
