A brave Border Patrol agent was shot in cold blood while off duty in New York City. Two illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic carried out this vicious attack. They ambushed him and opened fire as he sat near the water. This happened under the George Washington Bridge in Fort Washington Park. The officer showed incredible courage by returning fire despite his injuries. He survived being shot in the face and arm because he fought back. Americans should honor his bravery in the face of evil.
The attackers tried to rob the agent and his companion late that Saturday night. They rode up on a scooter and pulled a gun on them. The officer did what any law-abiding citizen would do—he defended himself. He drew his weapon to protect innocent lives. The thugs didn’t expect this hero to fight back. His quick thinking and training saved lives that night.
Both criminals were in this country illegally after being released by the Biden administration. The shooter entered the U.S. just last year and was set loose. The other suspect crossed the border three years ago and walked free. These aren’t poor innocents—they’re violent predators who exploited our broken borders. Biden’s policies handed them a free pass to terrorize Americans.
These thugs had long criminal histories ignored by New York City. One had recent arrests for violence. But sanctuary city rules protected these felons over law-abiding citizens. Local politicians shielded illegal immigrants from being turned over to federal agents. This attack happened because city leaders care more about criminals than Americans. Their reckless policies put every New Yorker in danger.
This violence against border agents is becoming frighteningly common. Just weeks earlier, another agent was shot at a Texas border facility. Our brave law enforcement officers are targets because Washington fails to secure the border. Weak leadership invites chaos and puts heroes in the crosshairs. Every attack proves we need immediate action to protect those who protect us.
Biden’s border crisis is directly responsible for this tragedy. His administration released these dangerous criminals into our neighborhoods. Sanctuary cities like New York then gave them safe haven. This deadly combination of failed federal policy and local corruption costs American lives. Open borders and sanctuary cities are a recipe for disaster that puts citizens at risk.
We must crack down hard on illegal immigrant criminals. Anyone here illegally who commits violence should be deported immediately. Sanctuary cities must cooperate fully with federal immigration enforcement. We need strong leaders who put American safety first. The answer is simple: secure the border, enforce our laws, and deport criminal aliens without delay.
This officer survived because he refused to be a victim. But no American should face such violence from criminals our government set loose. It’s time to stand with our law enforcement and demand real border security. Our streets aren’t safe until we end these reckless policies that protect criminals over citizens. Patriots must take back our country from this chaos.
