The senior judge had already found that immigration and customs enforcement officers were not following their own laws in arresting and detaining people in Colorado.

Congress authorizes warrantless arrests, but only in narrow circumstances.

And if ICE agents decide to detain someone, they're supposed to put them through a flight risk assessment.

They weren't doing that in 2025, according to lawyers, and the ACLU sued.

ICE has yet to get into compliance, though, on a ruling from last year.

So now a judge this week ordered more training on warrantless arrests for ICE agents.

That's Alison Sherry reporting.

The now 46-year-old Egyptian national told police at the time of the attack that he wanted to, quote, send a message about Israel.

But in court for his sentencing, he told the judge if he had to do it over again, he wouldn't and that he was sorry.

He then said he believed in justice and he wished Colorado had the death penalty so he could be sentenced to it.

Victims told the judge the anti-Semitic attack has left them with lingering trauma.

Dr. Rahel Halpern was injured that day.

The man still faces federal hate crimes charges, and the death penalty is a possibility in that case.

Authorities say that 46-year-old Muhammad Soleiman had told them he planned the June 1st attack for a year and wanted to use a firearm but was denied purchase of one because of his immigration status.

Instead, he used Molotov cocktails.

Soleiman pleaded not guilty to more than 100 state charges related to that attack on a crowd gathered on a pedestrian mall in Boulder.

Fifteen people were injured, including one elderly woman who died later from her injuries.

Those charges include first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Suleiman also faces federal hate crimes charges.
