BOULDER, Colo. – Following a recent terror attack in the heart of Boulder, Colorado, the county’s GOP chair said local and state officials who enacted policies protecting individuals in the U.S. illegally are trading the law for tolerance.

Illegal Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested Sunday after allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails into a crowd of peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators near the Boulder County courthouse while yelling, “Free Palestine.”

Authorities said eight people suffered burn injuries, and a total of 12 people were injured in the attack, which happened on the eve of Shavuot.

Soliman 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.

He is also facing federal charges for allegedly committing a hate crime involving actual or perceived race, religion or national origin.

The Boulder County commissioners and Boulder County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
