In a series of incidents highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement in New York City, several migrants have been involved in attacks against NYPD officers. One particular migrant, previously involved in assaulting officers in Times Square on Jan. 27, was arrested again for participating in a robbery and assaulting an employee in a department store in Queens. This series of events underscores a growing concern over the safety of police officers and the effectiveness of the city's justice system. Over 5,400 police officers were reported injured by suspects in 2023, according to projections. Additionally, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, 15, has been charged with attempted murder following a shooting in Times Square, and a 17-year-old has been taken into custody, both exacerbating concerns over crime in the city. The teenager remains in custody without bail.
So let’s recap — in NYC an illegal can assault a cop in a case that sparks national outrage, flee and get picked up by federal Marshals, then be released immediately with no bail so he can commit robbery and assault again a week later. This is what progressives have brought us.… https://t.co/HkGV5FXVAa

Those who attack NYC police officers have zero respect for the law. This is EXACTLY what happens when our justice system fails to hold them accountable — they are emboldened to victimize other NYers. He needs to be put back behind bars…and kept there. https://t.co/drKGKA75Q9

Valuable reporting by @ReuvenBlau. To add key fine print: While DOC projects NYC's jail population will be 7,379 in Sept. '24, the margin of error is MASSIVE, with a range running from 4,416 to 10,341. This reflects major unknowns, including future crime & arrest trends. https://t.co/XxAyvUT5fh
