Screenshot: NYPD News X VideoA group of illegal immigrants were seen attacking two NYPD officers outside a migrant shelter in Times Square, New York City.
The incident occurred when the officers attempted to advise the illegal aliens to move along. They then appear to attempt to subdue one of the individuals.
As the officers attempted to make an arrest, the suspects reportedly kicked and punched them in the head and body. The attack was captured on video and then shared on social media.
Four suspects were arrested a little while later and identified as aging in the range from 19 to 24.
“They were kicking and punching one of the cops,” a security guard nearby told the New York Daily News. “They mobbed [the cops]. It was wild.”
A large group of migrants assaulted two NYPD officers on 42nd street. This is the result of migrants arriving into an environment where it feels as if there are no consequences for committing crimes.

Illegal Immigrants Assault The NYPD
The New York Daily News report seems more concerned about how this assault by illegal immigrants is going to reflect on the debate regarding the border crisis.
The incident, they fret, is “likely to raise the temperature of the already heated debate surrounding the migrant crisis, in which more than 100,000 migrants came to the city last year.”
Yea, probably. Seeing video of animals assaulting police officers in the hopes that they can free one of their own based on overwhelming numbers seems concerning – especially when they number in the hundreds of thousands in NYC alone, millions across the country.
If they’re brazen enough to go after law enforcement, what will they do to the average person walking down the street?
Astoundingly, the illegal immigrants clearly caught on tape trying to assault police officers were, according to the report, “released without bail following arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.”
Even better? One of those arrested and released without bail has two pending cases in Manhattan for assault and robbery.
Don’t Worry, The DA Is Going To Get Them Back
A statement from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office explains the illegal immigrants may have been released due to a lack of information on them at the time of the arrest.
“We now have additional video surveillance that was not available at the time of arraignment and are continuing to speak to witnesses in order to determine the specific role of each defendant,” the statement reads, according to Fox News.
What are the odds they track these guys – who are, by the left’s definition, undocumented – down? We’d wager the next time they are seen is when they end up assaulting somebody else, or worse, murdering them.
Bragg, you may recall, has been heavily criticized for his ‘soft on crime’ policies and was eviscerated by the wife of a fallen NYPD officer at his memorial.
NYPD officer Jason Rivera was murdered in the streets of Harlem. His widowed wife addressed DA Alvin Bragg:

In another shocking video to emerge Tuesday, two illegal immigrants driving a van unlicensed and uninsured almost took out a little girl and a bus full of schoolchildren in upstate New York.
Meanwhile, the New York City Council has maintained its focus on reining in the NYPD, not illegal immigrants who haven’t met a law they’re seemingly unwilling to break.
While these illegal aliens remain on the streets undocumented and out on bail, police officers in New York City will be forced to document every single interaction they have with the public.
Mayor Eric Adams’ veto of the bill was rejected by the far leftwing Council in a 42-9 vote.
If they could jail the police officers and throw uniforms on the illegal aliens in New York City, there’s little doubt Democrats would do so.
