Rep. Pat Fallon: "America condemns the barbaric act of terror perpetrated today in Boulder, CO. Let us all keep the victims and their families in our prayers."

Rep. Keith Self: "Praying for the victims of the horrific terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. Antisemitism and acts of violence against the Jewish community are vile and have no place in America."

Rep. Beth Van Duyne: "I encourage every level of law enforcement to coordinate their operations with ICE through 287(g).
