Acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons’ statement on illegal alien shooting CBP officer

“Sanctuary city policies and the Biden administration’s open border policies allowed two criminal illegal aliens to enter this country, roam free and commit multiple crimes with no repercussions. Habitual criminals who weren’t even supposed to be in the United States shot an off-duty federal officer in one perpetrator’s second armed robbery this year. I’m tremendously relieved that this CBP officer will recover, but the bottom line is that this shouldn’t have happened. It is clear these criminal aliens have no respect for laws or, quite frankly, for life. ICE’s mission remains to remove this exact type of heinous criminal from our streets, and it will continue to do just that.”
