A 13-year-old migrant’s arrest for a stabbing in New York City has fueled criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies. The teen, living in a city-funded shelter, attacked a man near Times Square with three accomplices Sunday night.
The group approached a 23-year-old man and asked him to take their photo. When the man refused, they assaulted him, stabbing him in the back and leg with a brass-knuckle knife. They also tried to steal his phone but fled when they failed. The victim declined medical treatment for his minor injuries.
Police quickly apprehended the teen, whose last known address is the Roosevelt Hotel, a shelter for migrants that has faced growing scrutiny. This is not the teen’s first brush with the law; he was previously arrested for a subway robbery in October involving a group attack on a sleeping passenger.
Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, has been vocal about the dangers posed by unchecked migration. “Illegal aliens are flooding into New York City every day,” Sliwa warned earlier this year, pointing to policies that allow offenders to evade significant consequences.
With juvenile crime on the rise, as noted by NYPD officials, many New Yorkers are demanding action. President Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January offers hope for stronger border enforcement and a renewed focus on public safety.
