Border Czar Tom Homan spoke at a press conference on Monday alongside Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after visiting a Border Patrol agent at a New York City hospital after he was ambushed by an illegal alien and nearly murdered in a robbery while off-duty.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, an off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot in the face by an illegal alien during a robbery in New York City on Saturday evening.
The illegal entered the US in 2023 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.
The agent miraculously survived and shot back at the illegal alien. Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez is now in custody for the attack.
The second suspect involved in the shooting, Cristian Aybar Berroa, was also arrested. He was let into the country by Joe Biden and shielded from deportation by New York City’s sanctuary city policies, DHS announced on Monday.
The second suspect involved in the shooting of the CBP Officer in NYC has been arrested.

President Trump responded to the incident on Sunday, slamming the “Illegal Alien Monster” and the Democrats, who “flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders.”

This comes as ICE law enforcement have seen an 830% increase in assaults between January 21 and July 14, 2025, when compared to the same time period in 2024, DHS announced.
Border Czar Tom Homan blasted sanctuary cities during the press conference earlier today, notifying leaders that “sanctuary cities are now our priority.”
Homan slammed the cities for defying ICE detainer requests and, instead, releasing criminals back on the streets, saying he’s going to give them “exactly what they don’t want: More agents in the community and more agents in the worksite.”
“We’re going to flood the zone,” he said. “And when we arrest them in the community, if he’s with others that are in the country illegally, they’re coming too.”
WATCH:
I’ll say it again, sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals, and I’m gonna work very hard with Secretary Noem to keep President Trump’s promise and his commitment several weeks ago that sanctuary cities are now our priority. We’re going to flood the zone. You don’t want to let us in the jail to arrest a bad guy in the safety and security of a jail; you want to release him into the street, which makes it unsafe for the community, makes it unsafe for the officer, and makes it unsafe for the alien. Anything can happen on a street arrest.
What we’re going to do, we’re gonna have more agents in your City to look for that bad guy, so sanctuary cities get exactly what they don’t want: More agents in the community and more agents in the worksite. If we can’t arrest that bad guy in the safety and security of county jail, we’re gonna arrest them in the community, and we’ll arrest them into jail, and when we arrest them in the community, if he’s with others that are in the country illegally, they’re coming too.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Homan said the One Big Beautiful Bill, which provided over $150 billion to ICE and deportation, would “vastly increase” the number of deportations and number of agents in the field.
