Illegal aliens arrested in shooting of Border Patrol agent
A pair of illegal immigrants has been arrested for shooting an off-duty Border Patrol agent in the face during a robbery attempt in New York.
Both suspects are Dominican nationals with long rap sheets who were released into the U.S. by Joe Biden's administration.
Border Patrol agent shot
The victim, who was with a female companion, pulled out a firearm and shot back during the ambush on the Hudson River, near the George Washington Bridge.
Footage of the callous attack shows one of the men dismounting from a moped and shooting the victim in the face and forearm. The agent is in recovery at a local hospital and is expected to survive.
The thugs involved in the attack have a history of robbing innocent people while riding mopeds, a trend that has terrorized New York City since it was inundated with unvetted immigrants during the Biden presidency.
Foreign thugs
The accomplice in the attack, Christhian Aybar-Berroa, 22, was arrested Monday by ICE agents. He entered the U.S. in 2022 under Biden and has been on a crime spree ever since.
He was previously arrested eight times for a series of thefts in New York City, only to be released each time because of the state's lenient bail laws.
Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, the man accused of pulling the trigger in Saturday's attack, was shot in the leg and groin during the incident. Like his buddy, Nunez crossed the border illegally only to be released into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
Nunez's criminal career in the U.S. includes assaulting a pregnant woman, stabbing another immigrant with a machete and robbing a pawnshop. He has an active warrant for kidnapping in Massachusetts, DHS told Fox News.
Police in New York confirmed that the men will face federal charges.
Zero tolerance
President Trump hailed the "incredible CBP Officer" who "was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden."
"The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage," Trump wrote.
Trump cited the horrific incident as further evidence that a zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration is necessary to keep the country safe.
"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!"
