The number of identified victims in Sunday’s antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colo., has increased to 15 people and one dog, the FBI announced on Wednesday.

“The victims range from 25 to 88 years old, eight female and seven male,” the FBI wrote.

The accused perpetrator is a 45-year-old Egyptian, “who had overstayed his visa in the United States and remained in the country unlawfully since 2022,” according to the Trump administration.

Kristi Noem, U.S. secretary of homeland security, said on Wednesday that she directed federal agencies to “ramp up” crackdowns on those who overstay their visas in response.

“Mr. Eisenkot has received the clear and unequivocal support of a majority of members of Knesset on the most central question: Who has the better chance of forming the next government?” said Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
“If you don’t like our small business owners, wait till you meet our lawyers,” said Mark Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
“I’ve been on the phone with a lot of unhappy Jewish people from across the country this morning,” B’nai B’rith International CEO Evan Bernstein told JNS. “I think people are scared. They’re nervous.”
