Trump blasts 'Biden migrant crime' after shooting of 2 NYPD officers

Former President Donald Trump on Monday fumed over the shooting of two members of the New York Police Department, highlighting that the suspect is reportedly an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.

Officers Christopher Abreu, 26, and Richard Yarusso, 26 were released from the hospital on Monday. Abreu was injured in the leg while his partner was shot in his bulletproof vest, according to the New York Post. The suspect, Bernardo Castro Mata, 19, is reportedly an illegal immigrant.

Trump, for his part, blamed the policies of the Biden administration. 

"Biden Migrant Crime is out of control and is ravaging America! Last night, two brave NYPD officers doing their job were shot by a Monster Illegal Immigrant who came here illegally from Venezuela last year and was living in a tax-payer funded migrant shelter," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Crooked Joe Biden has trafficked in the worst people from around the world, many with heinous criminal records, and unleashed them into our communities."

"Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg should focus on keeping the streets of New York safe, but has instead wasted time and money engaging in a ridiculous political witch-hunt against yours truly. We must focus on finishing the wall, securing our border, and keeping our streets safe. MAGA 2024!" Trump concluded.

The news comes amid reports that Biden plans to issue an executive order to crack down on illegal border crossings by permitting immigration authorities to deport illegal entrants without processing asylum claims.
