Trump Blasts Biden After Illegal Immigrant Shoots CBP Officer in NYC

In a shocking incident over the weekend, an off-duty Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer was shot in the face by an illegal immigrant during an attempted robbery in New York City's Riverside Park. The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez from the Dominican Republic, has a long criminal history, including prior felony arrests, a kidnapping warrant in Massachusetts, and now, a potential attempted murder charge. President Donald Trump didn’t hold back, taking to Truth Social to blast the Biden administration for releasing Nunez into the U.S. after his arrest at the border in April 2023.

Trump called the suspect an 'Illegal Alien Monster' and criticized the Democrats for what he described as flooding the nation with 'Criminal Invaders.' He demanded their immediate deportation or prosecution, emphasizing the danger they pose. The incident, according to Trump, is a stark example of failed border policies, and he praised the wounded officer for his bravery and skill in fighting off the attacker despite severe injuries.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams confirmed Nunez’s extensive rap sheet during a press conference, noting prior arrests for assault, robbery, and even a stabbing. Authorities reported that Nunez and an accomplice approached the officer on a motorized scooter before the violent confrontation unfolded. Both the officer and Nunez were shot multiple times, though the officer is expected to recover. Nunez, after the shooting, walked into a hospital and was subsequently taken into custody.

This tragic event raises serious questions about border security and the mechanisms that allowed a known criminal to roam free and commit further violence. As the nation watches, the call for accountability grows louder.
