DHS says 2 have been detained in NYC shooting of off-duty border patrol agent

They should send him and those who we have to send to prison for these crimes to Alligator Alcatraz and let them remain there the rest of their lives... Also pray for a good storm and so after it settles we have some real "found footage" shown from CCTV of how they got unalived by GATORS. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that the perpetrators involved in the shooting were two unauthorized immigrants who had been arrested multiple times.

An off-duty Customs and Border Patrol agent was shot in New York City's Riverside Park late Saturday in an alleged robbery that did not appear to target him because of his job, police said. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that the perpetrators involved in the shooting were two unauthorized immigrants who had been arrested multiple times. 

Both suspects have been detained, Noem said. Noem said the first suspect is a Dominican national named Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, who had allegedly been arrested four different times in New York City. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference Sunday that the 21-year-old was hospitalized with gunshot wounds that investigators believe he sustained during the incident.

Shortly after the presser, Noem posted on X that the second suspect involved in the shooting was Christian Aybar-Berro, who is also from the Dominican Republic. In a post on X, Noem stated that Aybar-Berroa entered the country in 2022 and was ordered to leave a year later by an immigration judge. Two law enforcement sources told NBC News that the encounter appeared to be random and that it was an attempted robbery. Tisch said the CBP agent was sitting on the rocks along the water in the Manhattan park when two men rode up to him on a scooter, and one of them got off, approaching him from behind. One of the men took out a gun, at which point the agent realized he was being robbed and took out his firearm in defense, Tisch said. The gunman fired at the agent, who returned fire, she said.

The CBP agent was hit in the face and on the forearm, Tisch said. Mayor Eric Adams said he had visited the agent in the hospital as they recovered with their family. His condition was unknown. The incident was caught on CCTV, allowing detectives to match Mora with the person shown firing at the CBP agent, Tisch said. Mora went to Bronx Care Hospital after midnight with gunshot wounds to the groin and a leg consistent with those sustained by the person who shot the agent, Tisch said, citing the security video. Adams said Mora is known by law enforcement and has had repeated and violent past encounters with officials.

Tisch said Mora is also in the United States illegally, having entered through Arizona in 2023. He has two previous arrests for domestic violence in New York and an active warrant after he did not show up in court in one of those cases, Tisch said. Mora was also wanted by New York police in connection with an alleged robbery in December and an alleged stabbing in January, she said. Mora was in police custody at Lincoln Hospital, where he had surgery, Tisch said. Adams said of Mora at the news conference Sunday: "In less than one year, he has inflicted violence in our city. And once he is charged for last night's crimes, we will be able to add attempted murder to his rap sheet."

President Donald Trump called the person of interest an "Illegal Alien Monster" on Truth Social on Sunday and said Democrats "have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X that Mora is from the Dominican Republic. Trump has long highlighted crimes committed by undocumented migrants as reasons for harsh immigration crackdowns, despite evidence showing that the undocumented population commits fewer crimes than natural-born U.S. citizens.

Expert analysis and available data from major-city police departments reviewed by NBC News last year showed that despite some high-profile incidents, there was no evidence of a migrant-driven crime wave in the United States.

In December 2020, researchers studying Texas crime statistics found that “contrary to public perception, we observe considerably lower felony arrest rates among undocumented immigrants compared to legal immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens and find no evidence that undocumented criminality has increased in recent years.” In the first months of his second term, Trump and his administration have been cracking down on arrests of undocumented immigrants, with promises to deport violent criminals. 

Most of those in immigration custody, however, do not have criminal records, according to data. As of June, after six months of aggressive immigration enforcement, only a small fraction of undocumented immigrants known by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as having been convicted of sexual assault and homicide had been arrested, internal ICE data obtained by NBC News showed.

From Oct. 1 through May 31, 185,042 people were arrested and booked into ICE facilities. Of that group, 65,041 had been convicted of crimes, the data showed. Other ICE data showed that nearly half of those in ICE custody had neither been convicted of nor been charged with any crime. In a Monday statement, acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons said that "sanctuary city policies and the Biden administration’s open border policies allowed two criminal illegal aliens to enter this country, roam free and commit multiple crimes with no repercussions." 

"Habitual criminals who weren’t even supposed to be in the United States shot an off-duty federal officer in one perpetrator’s second armed robbery this year," Lyons said. "I’m tremendously relieved that this CBP officer will recover, but the bottom line is that this shouldn’t have happened."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem robbed!

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was robbed while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC restaurant on Sunday night. When asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Noem acknowledged the event but maintained it was not resolved. The Secret Service, which protects Noem, analyzed security video footage from the restaurant and discovered an unknown white guy wearing a surgical mask grab her luggage and depart, according to a law enforcement source who spoke to CNN. The burglar made off with Noem’s driver’s license, prescription, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, cosmetics bag, blank checks, and around $3,000 cash.

According to reports the Secret Service has begun an inquiry to track down any usage of Noem’s financial instruments. Noem announced last week that some of the people allegedly responsible for leaking information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have been caught. “We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” she said in a post on X on Friday. “We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done.” “We’re going to continue to do all that we can to keep America safe,” she added. 

Noem did not name the individuals who were caught. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for DHS, told Fox News that the two people will face charges. “We are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the DOJ for felony prosecutions,” the spokesperson said. “These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison. We will find and root out all leakers. They will face prison time, and we will get justice for the American people.”

Earlier this month, Noem announced that her department had identified some leakers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. “I have found some leakers,” she said in an interview with The Epoch Times. “We are continuing to get more. They will be fired, and there will be consequences.” She said that her department used “every tactic,” including administering polygraph tests and examining communications and emails, to find those responsible. 

Noem’s announcement last week came after The Los Angeles Times published a story earlier this month detailing an ICE operation that was in the works based on a leaked memo. “The FBI is so corrupt,” she said on X in reference to the story. “We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.”

The FBI Agents Association dismissed Noem’s allegations, the outlet noted. “FBI Special Agents serve our country every day with integrity, upholding the Constitution to protect the American people from national security and criminal threats,” the group said on X. “The FBIAA fully endorses the following statement released by the Bureau’s press office on February 14,” it said before adding the aforementioned statement. 

“The facts show the FBI has been standing shoulder to shoulder with our DHS partners across the country to lawfully support their immigration enforcement efforts. We have thousands of FBI personnel supporting these operations, including special agents embedded on DHS enforcement teams, intelligence analysts, linguists, and professional staff, all of whom are dedicated professionals deserving of respect,” said the bureau.

“The FBI contribution to DHS’s immigration enforcement operations is nothing less than our full partnership, which has resulted in well over a thousand arrests and lawful detentions. Nearly two hundred of these involved felony arrest warrants, including some subjects of FBI investigations with gang affiliations or a nexus to terrorism. We will continue to lean forward with our partners to prioritize the safety of the communities we all serve together,” it added.

“Making unfounded allegations calling FBI agents corrupt is deeply irresponsible and has not been supported by any evidence to date. As always, if violations of policy or the law are properly reported, the FBI will treat this with the utmost seriousness and take appropriate action. Unless evidence of violations is presented, such comments undermine the men and women of the FBI. 

The FBI invites DHS to partner in determining the source of any leaked information and working together professionally to ensure the safety and security of ongoing immigration enforcement operations,” the statement continued.
