An illegal alien who was released by the Biden administration was involved in the shooting of a Customs and Border Protection officer in New York City on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 
The department announced on Sunday that two suspects, including one illegal alien, shot the federal immigration officer during an apparent attempted robbery. The officer is hospitalized in stable condition, DHS said in a social media post. 
“On the evening of July 19, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in what looks like an attempted robbery,” DHS posted on X. “The officer, who was off duty at the time, is currently in the hospital in stable condition. One of the alleged perpetrators was an illegal alien with prior arrests for felony 2nd and 3rd degree assault and an order of deportation.”

The incident is currently being investigated by the New York City Police Department. 
Local news outlets <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/off-duty-border-patrol-officer-shot-face-nyc-park/3793606/">reported</a> that the 42-year-old officer was shot in the face and arm at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan just before midnight. According to NBC New York, the officer exchanged gunfire with the suspects as the attempted robbery took place. One of the suspects was taken into custody, the outlet reported.
The department identified one of the suspects, Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, as a citizen of the Dominican Republic who was released into the country by the Biden administration after he was apprehended on April 4, 2023, crossing the border near San Luis, Arizona.
Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for Homeland Security, <a href="https://x.com/TriciaOhio/status/1946988101127032918" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the suspect had a warrant for kidnapping from Massachusetts and was first ordered deported in 2003. 
The department also released footage of the incident. In the footage, two people can be seen arriving near a body of water on a motorcycle. One gets off the motorcycle and walks towards another on an embankment before opening fire. The two individuals then drive off on the motorcycle. 
“UPDATE: footage shows two assailants, one an illegal alien with criminal charges, ambushing and shooting a<a href="https://x.com/CBP"> @CBP</a> officer yesterday in New York City,” the post from DHS said.
