“Illegal Alien Monster” Shoots Border Patrol Agent Point-Blank In Manhattan

Update (1750ET):

An off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot in the face by a moped-riding illegal alien in a New York City park. The suspect, 21-year-old Dominican national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, reportedly entered the country under the Biden-Harris regime’s open-border policies. Despite having a criminal record and an active deportation order, he remained in the sanctuary city.

Suspect Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez is a national and citizen of the Dominican Republic.

“Footage shows two assailants, one an illegal alien with criminal charges, ambushing and shooting a @CBP officer yesterday in New York City,” Homeland Security wrote on X.

Our CBP Officer in NYC showed extraordinary courage last night – shot in the face by an illegal alien & still fought back to help bring his attacker into custody. This violent criminal never should’ve been on our streets. This is exactly why we fight every day to secure this… https://t.co/kKonCr7Aox

On Truth Social, President Trump chimed in, “Last night, in New York City, an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden.”

Trump continued, “He was apprehended at the Border in April 2023 but, instead of being deported, was RELEASED. The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage.”

“The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back. That’s how evil and dangerous they are!” the president emphasized.

All remains quiet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her squad of far-left lawmakers who have shielded illegals from ICE enforcement. Meanwhile, her party’s rhetoric—very hostile toward ICE—has coincided with a surge in assaults against federal agents. Under the Biden-Harris regime, Democrats appeared intent on undermining national sovereignty through open border policies that facilitated a third-world invasion. This is a national security risk that President Trump is working to correct.

An off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot in the face while walking through a park in New York City. Initial reports describe the suspects as “Hispanic males,” and one has been arrested. Authorities say the incident appears to have been a botched robbery, though, given the Democratic Party’s increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Border Patrol and ICE agents, a targeted attack cannot be ruled out. At this time, nothing is conclusive.

Local media outlet amNewYork’s Dean Moses reports that the off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot in the face inside Fort Washington Park in the early morning hours of Sunday.

Moses continued:

Officers from the 33rd Precinct rushed to the greenspace directly below the Washington Bridge after a 911 caller reported that a man had been shot.

Upon arrival at the scene, cops discovered the victim, a 42-year-old man, with gunshot wounds to his face and arm. One of the bullets entered his cheek, sources familiar with the case reported.

EMS responded and transported the victim to Harlem Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition and expected to survive.

X account Viral News NYC reported:

The suspects are described as two Hispanic males who fled on a scooter. In a shocking twist, one of the alleged suspects walked into the 44th Precinct with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. That individual is now in custody. The second suspect remains on the run.

. . . 

Meanwhile, chaos is erupting across the city tonight. Police scanners are flooded with reports of robberies, many involving suspects described as Hispanic males on scooters. The pattern suggests another violent crime wave may be hitting New York City.
