   A second suspect in the weekend shooting of an off-duty United States   
   Border Patrol agent in a New York City park has been taken into custody,   
   authorities said on Monday.   
      
   Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said an accomplice of the suspect   
   in the shooting and wounding of the off-duty Customs and Border Protection   
   (CBP) officer was detained over night.   
      
   Noem did not initially identify the second person, but said he is also an   
   undocumented migrant as she gave an update on the shooting at a press   
   conference in New York.   
      
   The officer, who was shot in the face and arm just before midnight on   
   Saturday, remained hospitalized and is expected to survive after   
   exchanging gunfire with an undocumented migrant with a lengthy criminal   
   record and outstanding arrest warrants. The suspected gunman, 21-year-old   
   Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, an undocumented migrant from the Dominican   
   Republic, was also shot in the incident and detained after he went to an   
   area hospital for medical treatment.   
      
   Both suspects are believed to have entered the U.S. during the Biden   
   administration, according to authorities. Noem, border czar Tom Homan and   
   CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott blamed former President Joe Biden and   
   sanctuary city policies for permitting the men to remain in the country.   
      
   Mora Nunez entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and was released, Noem said.   
   He has an active warrant for armed robbery in Massachusetts, according to   
   officials.   
      
   U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton said   
   federal charges are expected in the case.   
      
   The shooting unfolded at 11:51 p.m. Saturday in Fort Washington Park in   
   the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan, according to the   
   New York Police Department.   
      
   The 42-year-old Border Patrol agent was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he   
   is being treated and is expected to make a full recovery, authorities   
   said.   
      
   The shooting occurred near the Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington   
   Park, which is directly beneath the George Washington Bridge, police said.   
   The attack was captured on security video, which helped police quickly   
   catch the suspect, authorities said.   
      
   A witness told police that she and the off-duty agent were sitting   
   together on the rocks near the edge of the Hudson River when the suspected   
   gunman and his accomplice approached them on a scooter, according to a DHS   
   statement released on Sunday.   
      
   The security video, posted on social media by the DHS, showed two men on a   
   scooter stop near where the victim and the witness were sitting. In the   
   footage, the passenger is seen getting off the scooter and approaching the   
   victim while the driver stays with the vehicle.   
      
   New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference   
   Sunday afternoon that the video showed Mora Nunez allegedly drawing a   
   firearm and the Border Patrol agent also pulling out a handgun to defend   
   himself.   
      
   "The officer realized that he was being robbed and drew his service weapon   
   in defense," Tisch said.   
      
   Tisch alleged that Mora Nunez opened fire first and that there was an   
   exchange of gunfire before the suspect appeared to limp back to his   
   alleged accomplice and the two drove away on the scooter.   
      
   Tisch said Mora Nunez walked into a hospital in the Bronx at 12:18 a.m.   
   with gunshot wounds to the groin and the leg that she said was "consistent   
   with the injuries sustained" by the perpetrator in the security video.   
      
   The commissioner said it does not appear that the Border Patrol agent was   
   targeted because of his job.   
      
   Mora Nunez underwent surgery and is in custody at Lincoln Hospital in the   
   Bronx, Tisch said.   
      
   The initial police investigation has determined that the suspect, who DHS   
   said is from the Dominican Republic, entered the country illegally in   
   Arizona from Mexico in 2023, according to Tisch.   
      
   Tisch said Mora Nunez has two prior arrests for domestic violence in New   
   York and has an active warrant for missing a court date on one of the   
   cases.   
      
   Mora Nunez is also wanted by the NYPD for a robbery in December 2024 and a   
   felony assault stabbing in January 2025. Both of those incidents occurred   
   in the Bronx.   
      
   “In less than one year, he has inflicted violence in our city and once   
   he's charged for last night's crimes, we will be able to add attempted   
   murder to his rap sheet,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at Sunday's   
   news conference.   
      
   The Massachusetts warrant for Mora Nunez alleges he stole guns from a pawn   
   shop in February 2025, Tisch said.   
      
   Adams said he visited the wounded Border Patrol agent in the hospital on   
   Sunday.   
      
   The New York shooting comes roughly two weeks after a gunman opened fire   
   at the entrance to the Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas.   
      
   The suspect in the July 7 shooting, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis   
   Mosqueda, fired "many rounds" at the federal building that houses the U.S.   
   Border Patrol office at the McAllen International Airport, according to   
   McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.   
      
   The suspect was confronted and killed by Border Patrol agents and local   
   police, according to McAllen police and the DHS.   
      
   Two police officers and a Border Patrol employee were injured in the   
   attack, according to the DHS.   
      
   The motive for the McAllen shooting remains under investigation.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
