Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, claimed in a post on X that the Boulder attack was carried out by an “illegal alien”.

Al Jazeera was not able to independently verify Soliman’s immigration status in the US.

They’re really pushing for a unicorn assailant it would seem.
