Top New York City Police Department officials slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday for demonizing law enforcement&#8217;s response to anti-Semitic protests on Columbia University&#8217;s campus.
Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1783224425074086256">responded</a> to a video posted on X that showed NYPD counterterrorism officers on campus who were there to ensure that the far-left extremists did not become violent.
&#8220;Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG [Strategic Response Group] to protests.&#8221;
&#8220;So why are these counterterror units here?&#8221; she asked.
NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell fired back at AOC: &#8220;Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would agree that we have to teach them these valuable life skills.&#8221;
&#8220;Secondly, I was with those &#8216;units&#8217; last Thursday that you describe as having, &#8216;the most violent reputations.&#8217; These &#8216;units&#8217; removed students with great care and professionalism, not a single incident was reported,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The only incidents that day on campus were the student&#8217;s hateful anti-Semitic speech and vile language towards our cops. I am sure you agree any hateful speech is unacceptable. You should rethink your comments to a simple thank you to the NYPD and hate has no place in our society.&#8221;
Chell said that AOC should visit the campus and &#8220;listen to their remarks of pure hatred.&#8221;
&#8220;I will ensure those &#8216;units&#8217; will protect you as they do for all NYers 24/7/365,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Lack of accountability = consequences. Hate from anyone, anywhere has no place in our city and country.&#8221;
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry also responded to AOC&#8217;s remarks on X: &#8220;Everyone has a Constitutional right to protest, it’s one of the pillars our great democracy is built on. But kids also have a right to go to school without being harassed, threatened, intimidated or assaulted.&#8221;
&#8220;There is nothing &#8216;horrific&#8217; about protecting the safety of Columbia’s young students who are just trying to go to school,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We’ve said it time and time again, the NYPD will always protect and defend your right to protest but just because you hold a sign while you’re threatening, harassing, intimidating and assaulting people doesn’t give you a free pass from criminal conduct.&#8221;

&#8220;Being anti-Semitic and spewing hate to kids will never ever be tolerated in our city,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Our officers are the best and most highly trained law enforcement professionals in the world. Everyday, they have to endure insults, threats, and hate speech merely because the uniform they wear as they try to keep the peace and protect everyone’s rights. I encourage you @AOC to visit Columbia and do a walk through; I promise our officers will, like always, do their job, and protect you like they have protected everyone on campus regardless of what your political beliefs are. We’ll also take a report if you feel threatened.&#8221;

“Boardwalk Empire” actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Michael Stuhlbarg</a> was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/assault">attacked</a> by a man with a rock in Central Park over the weekend, per the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city">New York City</a> Police Department.
Police responded around 7:45 p.m. ET Sunday to a “call of an assault in progress in the vicinity of 90th Street and East Drive” near the reservoir in Central Park, per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/01/entertainment/michael-stuhlbarg-hit-rock-central-park/index.html">CNN</a>. That&#8217;s where they found the 55-year-old celeb who was “struck in the head by an unknown object.”
“A preliminary investigation determined that a 27-year-old male threw a rock, striking the victim in the back of the neck, causing an abrasion,” an NYPD spokesperson said in an email statement to the outlet on Monday.
“The victim chased the 27-year-old male to the front of 9 East 91st Street where uniformed officers took the 27-year-old male into custody without further incident. The victim refused medical attention at the scene,” the statement continued.
Suspected perpetrator Xavier Israel was arraigned on Monday on assault charges and released on bail. He has a court appearance scheduled for April 5.
Stuhlbarg has received several accolades, including two Screen Actors Guild Awards and nominations for two Emmy Awards, a Tony Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He’s best known for his appearances in “Boardwalk Empire,” “The Looming Tower,” and “Dopesick.” The actor has also appeared in Marvel movies, including “Doctor Strange” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”

The attack comes just days after reality star Bethenny Frankel said she was punched in the face by an unknown assailant while walking the streets of New York. 
Frankel responded to fashion design student Mikayla Toninato, who had shared her experience of being “punched in the face” via TikTok, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/real-housewives-bethenny-frankel-says-she-was-punched-in-random-nyc-attack">reported</a>.
“This is insane bc this happened to me a few months ago but I was embarrassed to say,” the 53-year-old reality Frankel shared in a comment last week, which has since been deleted. “I was on the UWS [Upper West Side]. Insane. I was taking video of a bakery.”
Dozens of women have reported similar unprovoked punching attacks in Manhattan.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Democrats during an interview late last week following the death of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, saying that the party openly embraces criminals and has turned its back on law enforcement.
The 31-year-old police officer Jonathan Diller was allegedly murdered by 34-year-old Guy Rivera during a traffic stop as Diller attempted to get Rivera to vacate the car which is when Rivera allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Diller in the stomach.
Rivera had 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance.
DeSantis responded to the killing by highlighting during an interview with Newsmax&#8217;s Eric Bolling the difference between how former President Donald Trump responded to Diller&#8217;s death and how President Joe Biden responded to his death.
&#8220;They get no support from these Democrat politicians,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;It used to be police officers, a lot of them were Democrats. That’s changed. The Democratic Party has turned their back on law enforcement, they embrace the criminal element and let the inmates run the asylum, and a lot of these people.&#8221;
&#8220;And, you know, Obama and Biden and Clinton can go raise 25 million because they’re in the upper echelon,&#8221; DeSantis said of the fundraiser the three had for Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign last week. &#8220;So they’re immune from their own policies. The people that it really hurts are the people who are more working class and middle income Americans. Democratic party has turned their back on them. They’re really become the party of the elites.&#8221;

The source told the Post that a family member of Diller &#8220;was going crazy&#8221; on Hochul, telling her, “We don’t want you here. You’re not wanted here. You have blood on your hands. If you want to do something, change the bail laws.&#8221; CBS New York also <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nypd-officer-jonathan-diller-wake-day-2-long-island-massapequa-park/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Hochul&#8217;s appearance was received poorly by Diller&#8217;s family members, who slammed her record on criminal justice policy.
Diller, a husband and father who had served three years on the force, was shot in the stomach while making a traffic stop Monday evening in Queens. The suspect in the shooting was identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car pulled over by Diller when he allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired at the officer. Rivera has 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to the Post. He was also in prison from 2011 to 2014 for first-degree assault.
The officer&#8217;s widow, who has a 1-year-old son with Diller, also reportedly had a sharp exchange with Hochul.
“[It looked] like she was telling [Hochul] off,” one witness told the New York Post. “It didn’t look like the widow had a kind word to say.”
Another witness told the Post that the governor and the young widow had a “short, respectful conversation” during the roughly 10 to 15 minutes Hochul was inside. More bystanders said the governor and the widow discussed “policy” during their brief encounter.
On Saturday, Hochul said that flags would be flown at half-staff at all state buildings in honor of the fallen officer.

“To Officer Diller’s family, and all of the other brave men and women of law enforcement who put your lives on the line every day, we love you, we appreciate you, and we will always stand with you!” Trump said.

Both President Joe Biden and his 2024 presidential rival, former President Donald Trump, will be in New York City on Thursday, but for differing reasons.
While Biden will be attending a scheduled swanky fundraising event for his 2024 re-election bid with former Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Trump will be attending the wake of slain 31-year-old New York City Police Department officer Jonathan Diller.
As <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-nypd-officer-killed-wake-funeral-e91744c40c4513ead88caa247ab9916e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> by the Associated Press, some online have compared and contrasted Trump and Biden&#8217;s schedules for the day.
&#8220;Today President Trump will attend the wake for fallen Officer Jonathan Diller in Long Island. Joe Biden will be with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at a fundraiser for the elites of NYC&#8230;where it costs six figures for a pic with the trio,&#8221; political correspondent for OANN Daniel Baldwin posted. &#8220;The contrast could not be clearer.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The celebrity-packed Biden fundraiser has turned heads after NBC News reported that it would cost $100,000 or more for attendees to have their photograph taken with all three presidents. Biden is expected to rake in $25 million. 
Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that Trump was &#8220;moved&#8221; to be invited to attend Diller&#8217;s service.
“President Trump is moved by the invitation to join NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s family and colleagues as they deal with his senseless and tragic death,” Leavitt said.
Diller, a husband and father to a 1-year-old, tragically died Monday after he was shot by a career criminal during a traffic stop in Queens, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-officer-shot-and-killed-during-traffic-stop-this-city-lost-a-hero" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to law enforcement.
A 34-year-old man named Guy Rivera was sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle during the traffic stop. As police attempted to get Rivera to vacate the car, he allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Diller in the stomach, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/us-news/nypd-cop-shot-in-chest-in-queens-rushed-to-hospital-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Witness Deon Peters told the Post that he saw Diller fall to the ground after being shot, yelling, “‘I’m hit, I’m hit!’”
Trump on Wednesday took to Truth Social to offer prayers to Diller&#8217;s family and rail against the crime plaguing New York City.
&#8220;Our heartfelt prayers go out to the family of highly decorated NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, whose life was taken by a murderous career criminal yesterday during a traffic stop in Queens,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112162948806839516" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;The &#8216;thug&#8217; in question has 21 prior arrests and just recently got out of prison &#8211; he NEVER should have been let back out on the streets.&#8221;
&#8220;To Officer Diller’s family, and all of the other brave men and women of law enforcement who put your lives on the line every day, we love you, we appreciate you, and we will always stand with you!&#8221; the former president added.

In the wake of the tragedy, two charities have stepped up to offer financial support for Diller&#8217;s family. Tunnels to Towers Foundation has confirmed that it will pay off the mortgage to Diller&#8217;s family home.
&#8220;Every day Officer Diller donned his uniform, there was a risk he may not come home,&#8221; T2T&#8217;s chairman and CEO Frank Siller <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nypd-officer-jonathan-diller-tunnel-to-towers-pays-off-mortgage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;We will honor him not only for his sacrifice but for his unwavering resolve to protect the people of New York City. Tunnel to Towers is honored to ensure his family can stay in their home, forever.&#8221;
Further, public tip-line COP-SHOT has pledged $10,000 toward the slain officer&#8217;s young son&#8217;s future education.
&#8220;There was no need for COP-SHOT to post our standing $10,000 cash reward in this tragic and cold-blooded murder of Police Officer Diller because the alleged suspects were apprehended at the scene,&#8221; COP-SHOT chairman John Provetto <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nypd-officer-jonathan-diller-tunnel-to-towers-pays-off-mortgage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;Therefore, COP-SHOT has gifted this $10,000 to Officer Diller&#8217;s family. This is a small gesture to let them know that the service and sacrifice of this father and husband will never be forgotten by New York City and its business community.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Wednesday about the death of 31-year-old NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed earlier this week allegedly by a career criminal, and Jean-Pierre used her answer to push for more gun control.
&#8220;Look, our hearts go out to this officer who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. We&#8217;re also praying for his family during this difficult time, who now has an empty seat at their dinner table,&#8221; the press secretary said. &#8220;President Biden is deeply grateful for the sacrifices police officers make to keep our communities safe. This shooting is yet another painful reminder of the toll of gun violence.&#8221;
Diller, a husband and father who had served three years on the force, was shot in the stomach while making a traffic stop Monday evening in Queens, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/us-news/nypd-cop-shot-in-chest-in-queens-rushed-to-hospital-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The suspect in the shooting death of the officer was identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car pulled over by Diller when he allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired at the officer. Rivera has 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to the Post. He was also in prison from 2011 to 2014 for first-degree assault.
Jean-Pierre then touted Biden&#8217;s executive actions, along with work Congress has done, to push more gun control.
&#8220;Obviously, more work needs to be done. We need Congress to continue to act on making sure that our communities are safe, and again, our hearts go out to this officer and his family. It&#8217;s a difficult time for them.&#8221;

Lindy Jones, the driver of the vehicle pulled over by Diller, also has a lengthy criminal rap sheet and was arrested on gun charges last April. In 2003, Jones was convicted of attempted murder and robbery and spent ten years in prison before being released in 2013. Jones was arraigned on Wednesday and charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a defaced firearm, ABC 7 reported.
Investigators said they believe Jones and Rivera were casing a T-Mobile store when Diller and another officer approached their vehicle to ask them to move from a bus stop where they were illegally parked. When the suspects were asked to roll down their windows, they refused, and Rivera allegedly fired a single shot at Diller, which hit him below his vest, according to authorities.
Rivera was shot in the back when the other officer returned fire. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.

“I can’t … say it any clearer: It is the good guys against the bad guys and these bad guys are violent,” said New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, adding that the shooting was another “senseless act of violence.”
Adams also addressed Jones’ prior arrest and said it represents “not a crime problem, but a recidivist problem.”
“Same bad people doing bad things to good people,” Adams said.

A 36-year-old man is in critical condition after being shot in the head on a New York City subway when a fight broke out between him and a 32-year-old man on Thursday.
The incident, which appeared to begin when the 36-year-old black man began berating the 32-year-old man while riding the northbound A train around 4:45 p.m., according to Michael Kemper, the Police Department’s Chief of Transit, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/nyregion/subway-shooting-brooklyn.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Video <a href="https://twitter.com/lattinabrown/status/1768430156710904302?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> of the incident showed the 36-year-old black man, yelling at the other man, “I’ll beat you up!” before getting in his face and saying, “F*** your race. F*** your kind. F*** you.”
Shortly after the two men got into the verbal tussle, they squared up, causing subway passengers around them to move to a different area of the train. “There’s babies on here!” one woman shouted as the men began to fight. The 36-year-old man eventually pushed the other man down onto a seat and punched him several times before a woman attempted to stop him from delivering any more blows.
The fight was briefly broken up when another man, along with the woman, stepped in between the two men. The video showed blood on the back of the 36-year-old man, who asked if the other man had stabbed him. The 36-year-old continued to move toward the other man and eventually pulled out a handgun, causing passengers to scramble toward the other end of the train with some people screaming, “Get down! Get down!” and “Let me out!”
Multiple gunshots then rang out, but the video doesn’t show the shooting as the person recording runs off the train when it comes to a stop. Police said the 32-year-old man wrestled the firearm away from the other man before shooting him and was arrested on the scene, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/14/us-news/video-shows-moments-before-brooklyn-subway-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The 36-year-old man was rushed to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition.
As of Thursday evening, Chief Kemper said it remained unclear if the 32-year-old man would face any charges or if his actions were in self-defense.
“The victim here, as the chief said, appears to be the aggressor,” said Janno Lieber, the transit authority’s chief executive. “But the real victims are the people I saw in those videos, who are having a harrowing time because they’re on a train with somebody with a gun.”
The shooting came just a week after Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) deployed National Guard troops and state troopers to the Big Apple’s subways to check passengers’ bags. The city also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-to-bring-back-bag-searches-surge-1000-officers-into-subway-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increased</a> its police presence in subways in hopes of deterring would-be criminals.

A New York City woman who live-streamed herself ranting against police hours before she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/radio-host-who-preached-f-the-police-then-allegedly-killed-a-cop">drunkenly struck and killed</a> an NYPD officer in 2021 was sentenced to at least 22 years in prison on Wednesday.
Jessica Beauvais, 34, was convicted of manslaughter in the fatal hit-and-run of Anastasios Tsakos, a 14-year NYPD veteran and father of two. After Tsakos’ widow, Irene, tearfully pled with Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloysed for justice on Wednesday, he sentenced Beauvais to 20 years in prison for aggravated manslaughter and between two and seven years for leaving the scene of an accident, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/anti-cop-driver-who-killed-nypd-officer-in-boozy-hit-and-run-sentenced-after-widows-plea-in-court/">reported</a>. Beauvais’ sentences will run consecutively.
“As Jessica Beauvais was sobering up in a police station that morning, our world was collapsing,” Irene Tsakos said. “Because of a single person’s despicable actions, our family was sentenced to a lifetime of loss.”
Tsakos was struck by Beauvais while investigating an accident and directing traffic on the Long Island Expressway in the early morning hours of April 27, 2021. Hours earlier, the woman posted a Facebook stream where she discussed the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
“This week we are going to talk about the ignorance that was the Derek Chauvin trial — or the ignorance that is essentially just is this f***ing justice system.” She also played the song “F*** Tha Police” by NWA. She added, “Like NWA say about the police – if you’re going to kill me, at least I get to take someone with me. I’m one of those people. If I’m going to go, someone is coming.”
The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9518625/Drunk-driver-says-f-k-police-downs-shots-video-killing-cop-hit-run.html">reported</a> that Beauvais was seen vaping and drinking during the video, and police said that she later confessed to downing vodka, wine, and smoking weed before the deadly hit-and-run. She was found to be high on drugs and her blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit at the time of the hit-and-run.

Before Beauvais was convicted in October, prosecutors described in detail the gruesome crash that killed Tsakos.
“His organs and bones were crushed,” Assistant District Attorney Greg Lasak Jr. told the jury, according to the Post. “His leg was amputated. He landed 171 feet from impact.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
“She left him there on the side of the road to die, without his leg,” he added.
Asked by the judge if she wanted to say anything before he handed down his sentence, Beauvais simply said, “I’m sorry,” CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/woman-faces-sentencing-for-2021-drunk-driving-crash-that-killed-nypd-det-anastasios-tsakos/">reported</a>. Beauvais had previously rejected a plea deal that would have sent her to prison for 16 years.
“My children don’t understand the permanence of death,” Irene Tsakos added before a courtroom filled with NYPD officers. “They were trying to figure out ways to bring him back somehow. Our son wanted me to get him a big kite so he could fly it high in the sky so his daddy could grab onto it and bring him back. He cried daily ’cause Daddy would never hold him again.

A 15-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela was arrested in New York City on Friday less than 24 hours after he allegedly opened fire on a security guard and police officers during a robbery attempt at a store in Times Square, hitting a 38-year-old female bystander in the leg.
Officers with the U.S. Marshals Joint Regional Fugitive Task Force and the NYPD nabbed Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa at the home of one of his relatives in Yonkers around 3:30 p.m. Friday, sources <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/09/metro/nypd-ids-teen-migrant-as-suspect-in-times-square-shooting-that-injured-tourist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The New York Post. NYPD spokesman Carlos Nieves told reporters that the teenager will likely be charged as a juvenile with attempted murder of a police officer.
“He was crying. When he was apprehended, he was crying… Here he is committing these adult acts, that’s something you don’t expect a child to do, and then when he’s apprehended, he’s brought out in handcuffs crying,” Nieves said.
Rivas-Figueroa, who is also a suspect in a gunpoint robbery in the Bronx last month, and two other teens were allegedly attempting to shoplift from sports-fashion store JD Sports in Times Square around 7 p.m. on Thursday but were stopped by a security guard, who took the stolen clothes back from them, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said. Authorities alleged that Rivas-Figueroa then pulled out a “very large” .45-caliber handgun, firing at the female security guard and “into a crowd.”
The shot missed the security guard but struck Tatiele Riberio, a 38-year-old Brazilian tourist, in the leg while she was standing in line waiting to buy shoes. Riberio was transported to Bellevue Hospital and released after getting 13 stitches in her leg, according to the Post.
After Rivas-Figueroa — along with another 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy — ran from the store, the illegal immigrant allegedly opened fire on an NYPD officer. Officers apprehended Rivas-Figueroa&#8217;s 15-year-old accomplice on Thursday night and nabbed the 16-year-old on Friday morning. Chell said detectives are still &#8220;trying to figure out&#8221; what the other teenagers&#8217; role was in the alleged robbery attempt.
“[Rivas-Figueroa] had no problems firing into a crowd at a store … and not shooting at cops once, but shooting at them twice,” said Chell, adding, “And I gotta tell you, [if] one of those bullets hits our cop last night, this is a whole different conversation we’re having today. Our cops showed great restraint not to fire their weapons into a crowd of New Yorkers.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Investigators interviewed witnesses and obtained surveillance footage, which led them to Rivas-Figueroa the next day. Chell said the teen arrived in the city in September and was placed in a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel. The hotel’s staff told the Post that they believe Rivas-Figueroa and his family left the shelter sometime Friday morning. The teenager was found with his mother on Saratoga Avenue.

NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban warned those who would “threaten the lives” of the city’s police officers.
“If you think you attack a member of this department, if you think you could threaten the lives of the very people who keep us safe. If you think you could put others at deadly risk and get away with it, then think again,” Caban said. “We will never stop pursuing you. We will find you, and we will arrest you.”
The attempted robbery and alleged shooting comes just two weeks after NYPD officers were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/group-of-illegal-immigrants-pummel-nypd-officers-get-released-without-bail-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pummeled by a group of illegal immigrants</a> near Times Square.

Four illegal immigrants were eventually apprehended but then released without bail before reportedly fleeing across the country to California.

Illegal Immigration

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.
&#8220;Per multiple ICE sources to me &amp; colleague @GriffJenkins, ICE &amp; 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,&#8221; Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin wrote on X. &#8220;We’ve reached out to ICE for formal statement &amp; are told we likely won’t get further details until tomorrow.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
ICE later confirmed the arrests in a statement:
<blockquote>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.</blockquote>
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.

Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) weighed in on the shocking footage that showed multiple illegal immigrants <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/group-of-illegal-immigrants-pummel-nypd-officers-get-released-without-bail-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pummeling</a> two NYPD officers last weekend, suggesting that deportation is on the table.
Five illegal immigrants were arrested on charges of assault of a police officer after video footage shared by the NYPD showed the officers attempting to arrest one of the illegal immigrants as others kicked and punched the officers in the head. All of the alleged attackers were then released without bail as police search for three more suspects. Hochul was confronted about the attack on Wednesday by a reporter who asked her if the illegal immigrant suspects should be deported, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/31/metro/hochul-suggests-deporting-migrants-who-attacked-cops-near-times-square/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Post</a>.
“I think that’s actually something that should be looked at,” Hochul said. “I mean, if someone commits a crime against a police officer in the state of New York and they’re not here legally, it’s definitely worth checking into.”
“These are law enforcement officers who should never under any circumstances be subjected to physical assault,” Hochul added. “It’s wrong on all accounts and I’m looking to judges and prosecutors to do the right thing.”
Around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, the NYPD officers told a group of illegal immigrants who were loitering in the street to move along, but moments later, a fight broke out that saw the illegal immigrants gang up on the two policemen, The New York Post reported. The two officers suffered minor injuries, such as cuts to the face and bruised bodies, and were treated at the scene.

“New York City does not provide sanctuary from prosecution from various violent felonies,” defense attorney and former Manhattan prosecutor Michael Bachner said. “Assaulting an officer, that is the type of offense that I believe would 100% be subject to deportation. The immigration courts, they don’t look kindly on assaulting law enforcement officials.”
Yorman Reveron, 24 — one of the illegal immigrants released without bail after allegedly pummeling the two officers — has two other open cases for assault and robbery. He allegedly “pushed, punched, and bit” an employee at Nordstrom Rack after he was caught trying to steal a $130 item, and in another alleged robbery attempt at Macy’s last month, Reveron is accused of punching a loss prevention officer.
