Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tore into Mayor Eric Adams over sanctuary city laws on Monday after an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in the face allegedly by “scum of the earth” illegal immigrants.
Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a 21-year-old Dominican national with a lengthy rap sheet in New York, and another illegal migrant suspect were both taken into custody after they allegedly ambushed the agent and his friend in Fort Washington Park in Manhattan late Saturday.
The second suspect, who hasn’t been identified publicly, was nabbed early Monday, Noem said.
“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 said after visiting the injured agent in hospital.
“Make no mistake, this officer is in the hospital today, fighting for his life, because of the policies of the mayor of the city and the City Council and the people that were in charge of keeping the public safe refused to do so.
Noem said families have “suffered” as a result of the Big Apple’s sanctuary policies.
“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.”
