Over the weekend, an off-duty Border Patrol agent visiting Fort Washington Park in Manhattan was shot in the face in an apparent attempted robbery. The agent, who thankfully survived the encounter, managed to shoot his attacker, who was later taken into custody by police.
Police later revealed that the suspect in the brazen shooting, identified as 21-year-old Miguel Mora, had been wanted on charges in two other incidents: a robbery in December 2024 and a felony assault in January 2025. Mora also happens to be an undocumented resident; hailing from the Dominican Republic, federal officials and the NYPD said he illegally crossed the border into Arizona from Mexico in 2023.
