Federal immigration officials have arrested several of the illegal aliens who are accused of attacking police in New York City last week.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that the suspects were arrested on Monday evening by ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officials at a bus station in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Per multiple ICE sources to me & colleague @GriffJenkins, ICE & HSI arrested several of the illegal immigrants believed to be involved in the mob beating of two NYPD officers at a Greyhound bus station in Phoenix, AZ this evening,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin wrote on X. “We’ve reached out to ICE for formal statement & are told we likely won’t get further details until tomorrow.”

ICE later confirmed the arrests in a statement:
On Feb. 5, special agents with Homeland Security Investigations, Enforcement and Removal Operations and U. S. Border Patrol apprehended four individuals on a bus who were travelling to the Phoenix Greyhound Bus Station from El Paso, Texas. The subjects were believed to be fleeing the state of New York from their suspected involvement in a coordinated assault on multiple New York City Police Department (NYPD) Officers. On Feb. 6, the four individuals were transferred to the custody of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) to be processed for immigration violations.
Two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were beaten by the group of illegal aliens last Tuesday in Times Square.
The officers told the group of illegal immigrants who were loitering in the street to move along, sparking a confrontation. Video footage shared by the NYPD shows the officers attempting to arrest one of the illegal immigrants as others kick and punch the officers in the head.

The illegal aliens were arrested in Phoenix because they were released from jail without bail and reportedly decided that they wanted to flee to California because it is a sanctuary state.
