Narrative

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said she had been briefed on the shooting, adding that she expects the Trump administration to “provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident.” In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said the wounded individual was an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic with a prior criminal conviction and ties to the Trinitarios gang. “This criminal illegal alien was arrested by the NYPD on December 7, 2023, but was released into the community a few days later by reckless Democrat sanctuary policies that put American lives at risk,” DHS said on X. “When dangerous illegal aliens are released back onto the streets by radical sanctuary politicians, our officers are forced to make arrests at large in the community in unpredictable and dangerous environments,” the department added.
