An off-duty Customs and Border Patrol officer was shot in the face on
Friday night in Fort Washington Park in Manhattan at about 11:50 p.m.

He was sitting on a rock by the Hudson River with a female companion
when he was approached by two men on a moped in what is suspected to be
an attempted robbery. One of the men then allegedly fired at the
officer, hitting him in the face and the arm. The officer then fired
back, wounding the suspect.

That suspect then went to a hospital, where he was taken into custody.
The second suspect is still at large. The officer is in stable condition.

The Department of Homeland Security made a statement saying it looked
like an attempted robbery and that "one of the alleged perpetrators was
an illegal alien with prior arrests for felony 2nd and 3rd degree
assault and an order of deportation."


But there's even more, and it isn't good. Fox News' Bill Melugin reports
that the suspect in custody had been previously deported and had an
active criminal warrant in Massachusetts for kidnapping.


DHS posted a video of the encounter.


DHS claims the suspect re-entered and was released under Joe Biden in
April 2023.

What an example of the failure of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

Meanwhile, all we get from Democrats on this issue is gas and shameful demonizing of federal agents. The border was completely out of control
under Joe Biden. All we needed was a new president. And now that the new president is rectifying Biden's errors, the Democrats just can't deal.
They're doing all they can to throw a wrench into Trump's efforts.

President Donald Trump has had great success stopping illegal
immigration at the border, with numbers of illegal border crossings
dropping to record lows.

There are still many illegal aliens here that Joe Biden let come across
the border. That's why Trump and his team have been so focused on the
issue of ramping up deportations. The Democrats seem to think it's wrong
to enforce the law.

Oh My: Dem Approval Just Hit New All-Time Low

Democrats should be supporting these actions, but I guess they want to
stay at 19 percent approval or go even lower. And every time there's an incident like this, it just reminds everyone how important it is to keep
them out of power to reduce the chances of such things happening.
