The illegal immigrant accused of shooting an off-duty border officer in a Manhattan park was only vetted using Zoom before being released into the US under the Biden administration, The Post has learned.

Dominican Republic national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, waltzed across the US-Mexico border into Arizona in April 2023 — during the raging migrant crisis that saw federal agents take drastic measures in an attempt to free up resources.

That month alone, the US saw a wave of more than 183,000 migrants come across the southern border.

“The whole system was overwhelmed by what the Biden administration was allowing,” Charles Marino, former senior law enforcement advisor to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, told The Post.

“The end game was to facilitate the processing of as many illegals into the country as possible,” Marino said

...

Border agents also didn’t take a DNA sample from Mora Nunez — standard practice to find out if someone has a criminal history in the US — due to a shortage of swabs at the time

...

An immigration judge ordered that the Dominican national be deported in 2023, after he failed to show up to court.

Still, Mora Nunez stayed in the US, racking up a slew of arrests in New York City and at least one in Massachusetts — but was let go each time

...

He is now accused of shooting the off-duty 42-year-old officer in the face as he sat with a female companion in Fort Washington Park Saturday night.

A accomplice, Christhian Aybar-Berroa, 22, also an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic, helped with the botched robbery,

...

The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage.”

ICE should camp out at every court house. Any defendant who isn't a legal resident should just go directly to Alligator Alcatraz. No delay.

It’s ironic these illegals get to travel within the country freely... this guy was in Arizona, NYC and Massachusetts and who knows where else for the past 2 years, meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of real Americans that can’t afford to travel that often. I haven’t had the luxury of traveling out of my state in years.

Did the POS Nunez survive? The CBP Officer popped him a few times defending
himself and the accomplice dropped him at a hospital. He looked lifeless.

I hope the officer is ok. He was ambushed.

Ladies and gentlemen, we all are experienced with government service and actions. When, WHEN was the last time you saw government modify their process to address a growing queue to use government services to speed up the process cycle? ….. I’ll give you a moment to think about that one…… mmmm NEVER!

So if governments made the illegals flow into the country easier or non existent during the Biden administration their was a reason!

As planned.

I agree.

The only place illegal aliens should travel to is back to wherever they came from originally.

As the DemonRATS were releasing murderers and rapists from from jails in America, they were also importing them into America from all over the world. The DemonRATS! America’s Official Party of Death!!!
