Boulder suspect charged with federal hate crime |
The man accused of setting eight people on fire at a pro-Israel protest in Boulder, Colorado, has been charged with a federal hate crime. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, told investigators that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished all of them were dead, according to an FBI affidavit released on Monday. Soliman is also facing federal attempted murder charges, as well as state charges of attempted murder, use of incendiary devices, and other offenses. Soliman is accused of attacking the weekly "Run for Their Lives" demonstration on June 1 with a makeshift flamethrower and fire bombs. According to the affidavit, Soliman told investigators he planned the attack for a year and waited for his daughter to graduate before executing it. The victims, ages 52 to 88, suffered injuries ranging from serious to minor. 👉 Boulder's Jewish community shaken by attack. | Workers clean the ground Monday outside the Boulder County Courthouse the day after an attack that injured multiple people in Boulder, Colorado.

Chaos unfolds in San Diego ICE raid |
Armed agents wore tactical gear. Flash-bang grenades were fired into the crowd at a popular San Diego Italian restaurant. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities raided the restaurant on May 30, arresting several kitchen workers, while community members confronted agents. It was one of the latest chaotic scenes to unfold as President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration. It followed a panicked scene at a Tallahassee, Florida, construction site where more than 100 people were detained in one of Florida's largest single-day immigration raids. On Sunday, residents of Milford, Massachusetts, chanted "Free Marcello" as they denounced a teenager being detained by ICE without a warrant. 👉 Where ICE is targeting immigrants. |
Smoke, ash and fleeing for safety. Italy's Mount Etna, Europe's tallest volcano, erupted on Monday. Etna, located on Sicily, joins Hawaii's Kilauea as one of 47 volcanoes actively erupting this year. Several videos posted online showed people scurrying for cover from the eruption, which was "probably produced by the collapse of material from the northern side of the Southeast Crater," Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology wrote in a post on Facebook. 🌋 Watch video of the explosion. | Volcanic steam rises from Mount Etna, near Motta Camastra, Sicily, Italy, June 2, 2025.

Rainbow flags are lining the street lamps here in Washington, D.C. – even as the White House has attempted to roll back LGBTQ+ rights. It's officially LGBTQ+ Pride Month! Each June, Pride is held to celebrate queer culture and history and demonstrate support for LGBTQ+ rights. This June marks the 55th anniversary of the first Pride march held in the United States, which came just one year after New York City police officers invaded the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, which resulted in a six-day riot. Today, countless communities host pride marches, demonstrations and parties to honor queer joy. 🏳️🌈 See when major cities are celebrating Pride. | People attend an LGBTQIA+ Pride flag raising event to kick of Pride Month in Washington, D.C. at the John A.
