An off-duty officer from Customs and Border Protection was shot in the face on Saturday night in New York City. The incident occurred during an attempted robbery that involved an illegal immigrant who had been previously deported, as per reports from authorities.

The suspect has been identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez. He is a 21-year-old Dominican national who had been apprehended by Border Patrol back in April 2023.

After being apprehended at the Arizona border, Nunez was released into the U.S., though he still has an active deportation order.

Video released by DHS showed two suspects ride up to the officer on a motorized scooter in Riverside Park. 

Nunez has a history of arrests for assault and violating a protective order, according to Adams. At the time of the shooting, he had an active bench warrant from the Bronx and was wanted for both a robbery that happened last December and a stabbing in January.

“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,” the mayor added.

President Donald Trump weighed in on the shooting Sunday afternoon, writing that “an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden.”

“The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage,” Trump wrote. “The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back. That’s how evil and dangerous they are!”

The incident comes two months after a Fox News Digital report found a high number of migrants committing thefts, assaults and drug crimes, as well as grand larceny incidents and sex crimes.

According to the data, 3,219 migrants living in 48 shelters across the city were arrested a total of 4,884 times between Jan. 1, 2023, and Oct. 31, 2024.
