McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced it is revamping its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tip line following a weekend attack in Colorado.
Twelve people were injured in what the FBI is calling a “terrorist attack” on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado.
DHS says that the man arrested in connection with the attack, Mohamed Soliman, is illegally in the United States.
Soliman is accused of using a makeshift flame thrower at an outdoor mall to attack a group of people who had gathered in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Following the attack, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that additional personnel will be added to monitor the ICE tip line to collect information on gang members, sex offenders and violent criminals who are illegally in the United States.
“Yesterday’s terrorist attack by a suspect illegally in our country, underscores the importance of getting these illegal aliens out of our country,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Secretary Noem is revamping ICE’s illegal alien tip line to devote more resources and personnel to help remove these criminal illegal aliens from our country.”
Tips on suspicious criminal activity can be called into: 866-DHS-2-ICE, or (866) 347-2423.
The tip line operates 24 hours a day and is staffed by trained specialists who take reports from the public and law enforcement agencies.
