Good morning, Colorado Springs.

FBI agents raided a home in Cimarron Hills Sunday night because it housed 45—year—old Mohamed Soliman, accused in the Boulder attack on pro—Israel demonstrators that injured eight people, and he now remains in jail on a $10 million bond.
The Department of Defense released a memo on May 22 directing military departments to submit proposals within 120 days to cut permanent change of station moves by 50% by fiscal year 2030, starting with a 10% reduction next fiscal year.
