Donald Trump has finally spoken out after an illegal alien reportedly shot a Customs and Border Protection agent in New York City in the course of a robbery attempt at the weekend. In a Truth Social post, the US President addressed the rising crimes in American cities due to criminals “flooding our streets.”
Trump Slams Cashless Bail and Rising Crime
“Crime in American Cities started to significantly rise when they went to CASHLESS BAIL. The WORST criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers. It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote.
The officer was reportedly struck in the face and forearm at Manhattan’s Riverside Park Saturday evening, July 19. The suspect, Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, was subsequently apprehended. He was previously arrested by Border Patrol in April of 2023, Fox News noted.
Kristi Noem Visits Injured Officer, Blames Sanctuary Policies
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the injured officer, and blamed “sanctuary” policies for the crime. “There’s absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City,” Noem told reporters on Monday, January 21, referencing Nunez. “He was arrested four different times in New York City, and because of the mayor’s policies and sanctuary city policies, was released back to do harm to people and to individuals living in this city.”
Noem Urges Mayors to End Sanctuary City Policies
“I’m calling on every single mayor and sanctuary city and sanctuary governor to change their policies and to change their tactics right now,” she further said. “Their job is to take an oath to protect the public, to protect families that are out there every single day trying to provide for each other and to try to live the American dream. And they want to do so safely in their own communities. How many more lives will it take? How many more people have to be hurt and victimized before we have public safety? When I look at what Mayor Adams has done to New York City, it breaks my heart to see the families that have suffered because of his policies.”
