Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan pledged on Monday to flood the Big Apple with ICE<\/a> and Border Patrol agents while taking aim at Mayor Eric Adams, despite his friendly relationship with the Trump administration, over the weekend shooting of an off-duty Border Patrol agent at a Manhattan park.<\/a><\/p>\n

The remarks came days after the shooting at Fort Washington Park in Upper Manhattan late on July 19 in what police officials say was an attempted robbery. The agent had been shot in the face and can only communicate now through hand gestures, Noem noted.<\/p>\n

While the border patrol agent was off duty and not in uniform, the NYPD and Homeland Security say the gunman was 21-year-old Miguel Mora of the Dominican Republic who crossed the border illegally in 2023.<\/p>\n

Police swiftly took Mora, who was shot by the agent, into custody following the shooting, with criminal charges pending. Nevertheless, Noem and Homan vowed to surge more federal agents into the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we will do in a city like this is we will double down, we will put more agents here, we will put more personnel here. We will give them more equipment, more training,\u201d Noem said.\n<\/p>\n

Noem: Mayor Adams \u2018could have done better\u2019<\/p>\n

While scapegoating the former Biden administration for enabling Mora to enter the country in 2023, Noem also blamed Mayor Adams \u2014 even as Hizzoner has offered a more cooperative tone toward the Trump administration than his fellow Democrats, especially in the wake of Trump\u2019s Justice Department dropping the federal corruption case against him.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Noem seemingly threw Adams \u2014 who is running an independent re-election campaign \u2014 under the proverbial bus for pursuing policies that she claimed paved that way for Saturday\u2019s shooting<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I look at what Mayor Adams has done to New York City, it breaks my heart to see the families that have suffered because of his policies.\u201d Noem said. \u201cWe wish we had that kind of partnership with Mayor Adams. And I know you guys have got a leadership election in this city that\u2019s going to be happening soon. Boy, start looking at the candidates today and see which one is going to start making the city safer, because you\u2019ve got a mayor today that could have done better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homan \u2014 who had cozied up to Mayor Adams in recent months as the mayor pushed to reopen a shuttered ICE office on Rikers Island \u2014 went on his own tirade against New York City and its sanctuary city policies, making a foreboding warning.<\/p>\n

\u201cSanctuary cities are now our priority. You don\u2019t want to let us in the jail and arrest the bad guy in the safety and security of the jail,\u201d Homan said. \u201cWhat we\u2019re going to do, we\u2019ll have more agents in New York City to look for that bad guy. So sanctuary cities get exactly what they don\u2019t want, more agents in the community and more agents in the worksite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mora, who was also shot during the robbery, is in police custody. Noem announced that a second individual, who has not been identified, was also arrested early Monday.\n<\/p>\n

Adams: Don\u2019t blame me, blame Cuomo<\/p>\n

During an unrelated press conference Monday, Adams responded by not firing back at the federal government, but instead agreed with them on what he called a \u201cfar left mindset.\u201d He also looked to shift the blame to mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have nothing to do with the rules that are put in place. I just carry out the rules,\u2019 Adams said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m sure in the last three years and seven months that you\u2019ve covered me. You know how outraged I am because of Andrew\u2019s bail reform laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hizzoner went on to agree with Noem that New Yorkers need to choose wisely in the upcoming mayoral election.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019s accurate that we should do an analysis in that area, but we should do an analysis of who we want to run the city during crises, and who has been fighting against the far left mindset,\u201d Adams added.<\/p>\n
