Trump, Noem blame NYC border patrol agent shooting on sanctuary city policy, bail reform
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump and his administration Monday sought to use the shooting of an off-duty Customs and Border Patrol agent in a Washington Heights park to bolster his hard-line stance on crime and immigration. As officials charged Miguel Mora Nunez, 21, an undocumented Dominican immigrant with a long rap sheet, Trump blamed the botched robbery on what he called New York's bail reform laws. He denounced 'cashless bail' and blamed the practice for setting 'the worst criminals flooding on our streets.' 'Crime in American cities started to significantly rise when they went to cashless bail,' he wrote on his social media site. 'It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, immediately.' Contrary to Trump's claim, big-city crime has been declining for several years since a COVID pandemic-era spike and is close to multidecade lows. Although Trump didn't specifically mention the Saturday night Washington Heights shooting in his latest post, he earlier called the attack an indictment of lax border enforcement policies. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took dead aim at immigration in a Manhattan news conference about the shooting, which left the unidentified 42-year-old victim recovering from gunshot wounds. 'There is absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City,' Noem said. Noem blamed New York's immigrant-friendly sanctuary city policies with allowing Mora to stay out of jail and avoid potential deportation despite his repeated brushes with law enforcement. She called on Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council to reverse the sanctuary city policies, which restrict city police and law enforcement from fully cooperating with federal immigration authorities. 'Make no mistake, this officer is in the hospital today, fighting for his life, because of the policies of the mayor of the city and the City Council and the people that were in charge of keeping the public safe refused to do so,' she added. Border czar Tom Homan said the shooting illustrates the danger facing immigration enforcement agents, even though authorities say there is no evidence the attacker knew the victim was an off-duty border patrol agent. 'Thank God we're not burying one today,' Homan said. Mora, who was born in the Dominican Republic, entered the country illegally through Arizona in 2023, authorities said. He had two prior arrests for domestic violence in New York and was also wanted to face accusations of robbery and felony assault. He was also wanted in Massachusetts over a stolen weapons case, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. A second man, said to be a 22-year-old friend of Mora from the Bronx, was arrested in connection with the attack Monday. _____

Minnesota Lawmaker Convicted of Burglary Plans to Resign, Ending Democratic Majority
A Minnesota state senator who was convicted of burglary said on Monday that she would resign from the Legislature by Aug. 4. Her departure would leave the chamber with equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans until a special election can be held to fill her seat and break the tie. By stepping down, Senator Nicole Mitchell, a Democrat, is likely to avoid the possibility of being removed from office. The decision also gives her party a chance to replace her and regain a majority if they win a special election. Ms. Mitchell carried her district in the suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul by a nearly 18-point margin in 2022. Ms. Mitchell was arrested in April 2024 and accused of breaking into her stepmother's home. She maintained her innocence after her arrest, and for more than a year resisted calls by Republicans for her to resign or be expelled. Even so, she was limited to working on the periphery of the Legislature. Though her fellow Democrats continued to rely on her vote as she awaited trial, Ms. Mitchell no longer participated in caucus meetings and did not have committee assignments this year. After a jury in Becker County convicted Ms. Mitchell on Friday of two felony charges, legislative leaders from both parties said they expected her to resign. Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, is expected to call a special election in the district, which is considered solidly Democratic. Ms. Mitchell faces up to 20 years in prison on the more serious charge on which she was convicted. She has been allowed to remain free ahead of her sentencing. Ms. Mitchell announced her resignation on Monday in a statement distributed by one of her lawyers, Dane DeKrey. The statement said she planned to work on finishing up legislative projects, helping staff members find new employment and arranging new health insurance for a family member before resigning on or before Aug. 4.
