Trump lashes out at Biden after illegal immigrant accused of shooting CBP officer in NYC
"Last night, in New York City, an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday. "He was apprehended at the Border in April 2023 but, instead of being deported, was RELEASED."
The suspect was identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as 21-year-old Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a Dominican national. DHS confirmed that Nunez was arrested by Border Patrol near San Luis, Arizona, in April 2023, but was released into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
The agency also told Fox News that Nunez has an active warrant for kidnapping in the state of Massachusetts, in addition to prior felony arrests. During a press conference on Sunday, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Nunez had prior arrests for assault and violating an order of protection. Adams said Nunez also had an active bench warrant from the Bronx, was wanted for a robbery from last December and a stabbing from January.
"The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back," Trump added. "That's how evil and dangerous they are!"
Authorities said Nunez rode up on a motorized scooter with another suspect and attempted to rob the CBP officer as he sat in Riverside Park on Saturday night.
The officer, who has not yet been identified, pulled out a gun to defend himself. Police said the officer and Nunez were both shot multiple times. Nunez walked into an area hospital after the shooting, police said. The officer is expected to recover from his injuries.
Trump added that the off-duty officer "bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage."
Adams said Nunez was taken into custody.
"He has inflicted violence in our city and once he is charged for last night's crimes, we will be able to add attempted murder to his rap sheet," Adams said.
DHS has lodged a detainer against Nunez.

UC Berkeley Professor's Ex-Wife Convinced Lover to Kill Him: Lover's Alleged Confession
NEED TO KNOW Przemyslaw Jeziorski was slain in broad daylight in Greece earlier this month His ex-wife is among five arrested in connection with the killing The beloved father was reportedly locked in a custody dispute with his ex-wife over their two childrenA man arrested in connection with the killing of a beloved California professor allegedly told Greek police he was acting on the orders of his girlfriend, who is the professor's ex-wife. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, a business and marketing professor at University of California, Berkeley, was gunned down in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb of the Greek capital of Athens, on July 4, police previously said. Jeziorski was in the city for a custody hearing and to visit his children, who were in custody of his ex-wife at the time, ABC 7 and Greek outlet Ta Nea reported. Days later, Greek authorities arrested the woman, her boyfriend and three others in connection with the crime, ABC News and local outlets To Vima and ERT (Greek: EPT) reported. Per Greek provisions, the names of the defendants have not been publicly released by authorities. The woman's boyfriend allegedly confessed to the crime, telling police he was acting on her orders, per officials' accounts cited by CNN, Dimokratia and ERT. The man allegedly said he carried out the killing because they were worried Jeziorski would take the children away, CNN reported. "I made the decision to end this torment we were experiencing once and for all,' he allegedly said. On the day of the killing, he was driven by the three other accomplices to the location where he lay in wait for Jeziorski, per the alleged confession. 'I approached him and shot him a few times, but I don't remember how many times,' the man allegedly said. One of the five people arrested is a minor, per CNN. All but the professor's ex-wife have allegedly confessed to their link to crime, while she maintains her innocence, the outlet reported. In the months leading up to the slaying, Jeziorski had reportedly filed a restraining order against his ex-wife, according to court documents obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, ABC News and SF Gate. In the filing, Jeziorski alleged that the woman's boyfriend had physically assaulted him on two occasions when dropping off or picking up the children, per all three outlets. Jeziorski alleged in the document that his ex-wife would specifically have her boyfriend pick up or drop off the children following Jeziorski's visitation in a bid to intimidate him, the Chronicle is being remembered by his loved ones — both in the United States and his native Poland for his dedication to his work and his children. Zsolt Katona, a fellow professor and colleague at UC Berkeley, told PEOPLE in a statement following the murder: 'If there is any consolation in these moments, it's knowing the lasting impact that he left on so many people's lives." His family has set up an online fundraiser to assist with costs related to transporting his body to Poland. Read the original article on People

Longtime Franklin County Board of Elections member Kimberly Marinello has died of cancer
Longtime Franklin County Board of Elections member Kimberly E. Marinello has died at 72 from brain cancer, according to her fellow board members. Marinello served on the board since 2008 and she died on July 18, said her fellow Democrat on the board, Mike Sexton. "Just an outstanding, dedicated Democrat," Sexton said of Marinello. "Her work was meticulous. She's very efficient and she's been one of the most loyal Democrats I have ever met." Sexton said Marinello was diagnosed with cancer just about a month ago at the end of June. That's when she stepped down from her role as treasurer for the Franklin County Democratic Party, a role she had held since 2003. Now, the county party has 15 days to nominate a replacement to the county board of elections for the Ohio Secretary of State to approve. In Ohio, county boards of elections are made up of two Republicans and two Democrats. The county party already had a meeting scheduled for the evening of July 22, so Sexton said the party will vote then on a nominee. Doug Preisse, a Republican and chairman of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told the Dispatch that the whole board is saddened and Marinello was a truly decent person. "For the many years I served with Kim, while she was always a loyal Democrat, she was first and foremost a loyal public servant," Preisse said. "She looked out for the best interest of Franklin County voters. It was a pleasure and honor to serve next to her."

Ex-Manual coaches Donnie, Ronnie Stoner plead not guilty to child sex charges
With their accusers sitting in the courtroom behind them, two former Jefferson County Public Schools coaches listened as an attorney entered not-guilty pleas for both on child sex abuse charges. Donnie and Ronnie Stoner, who last worked at duPont Manual High School and previously worked and coached at other schools within JCPS, were then placed on home incarceration July 21 by Jefferson Circuit Judge Mitch Perry. A Jefferson County grand jury indicted the twin brothers July 18 on over 50 combined counts related to child sex abuse charges related to four minors, identified by the initials A.S., A.F., A.J. and A.C. The counts span from May 2005 to July 2023. Zach Kilgore, also named in the case, did not appear in court. Perry scheduled a bond hearing in the case for July 29. The case was originally set for Circuit Judge Julie Kaelin's court until she recused herself because of a conflict of interest. She told the court she formerly represented a co-defendant of Kilgore's. The case was reassigned to Perry's case within an hour of the Stoner brothers' original arraignment. Donnie Stoner pleaded not guilty to 35 total counts of child sex abuse charges related to the four minors, including: 12 counts of sodomy; 11 total counts of rape (nine counts third-degree, two counts first); 8 counts of sexual abuse; 2 counts of unlawful transaction with a minor; 1 count of tampering with physical evidence; 1 count of conspiracy to commit unlawful transaction with a minor. Ronnie Stoner pleaded not guilty to 21 total counts of child sex abuse charges related to the four minors, including: 6 total counts of sodomy (three counts in the third degree, three counts in the second degree); 6 total counts of rape (three counts in the third degree, one count in the second degree and two counts in the first degree); 4 counts of sexual abuse; 3 counts of unlawful transaction with a minor; 1 count of conspiracy to commit unlawful transaction with a minor; 1 count of incest. Kilgore was charged in the indictment with one count of first-degree rape. "It's like the first step of any accountability for 20 years, so we're very happy such a robust indictment was filed," said one of the accusers who attended the hearing. "... Emotions are really high." The Stoner brothers walked out of the courtroom with three bailiffs and onto the elevator. They were not made available to reporters by attorney Rob Eggert, who represented both in the arraignments. Eggert is the legal representation for Donnie Stoner. Ronnie Stoner is still working to obtain legal representation. From 2005 to present Personnel files for both Donnie and Ronnie Stoner obtained by The Courier Journal through Kentucky's Open Records Act show the brothers ― formerly known as LaDon and LaRon ― first began coaching at Evangel Christian in 2005, the year the counts in the grand jury indictment began. Donnie Stoner's JCPS tenure began in 2010 as a paid freshman football coach at Fern Creek, where Ronnie would eventually join him as an assistant football coach. By 2013, Donnie Stoner became an assistant junior varsity football coach. By 2015, he began at Newburg Middle School. And by 2015, he was named varsity assistant football coach. In 2017, he moved to duPont Manual as varsity assistant football coach until 2022, when he became the head coach there. There are charges that relate to different minors throughout this time period, too. On July 13, 2023, JCPS "temporarily removed" Donnie Stoner from his coaching duties. He was arraigned 18 days later on rape, sodomy and child sex abuse charges of a Manual student. That trial is set for Aug. 26, which was delayed from March 11. Following a court hearing in February, JCPS confirmed Donnie Stoner was still working for the district in a position that had no contact with students. On July 18, JCPS confirmed he was no longer employed by the district, but spokesperson Mark Hebert wasn't sure when the change took place. An open records request for Stoner's resignation or termination letter has not yet been fulfilled. Donnie Stoner has an active criminal case regarding child sex abuse with a former Manual student. Ronnie Stoner and Kilgore have not faced previous child sex abuse charges related to this group of minors. Donnie Stoner is also facing a civil suit. That suit, originally filed under seal because of a state law, was filed in September 2024. The student, who is no longer a minor, filed a motion to unseal the case. That motion was granted in January 2025. The civil suit also names Ronnie Stoner, as well as Manual principal Michael Newman and athletic director David Zuberer, claiming they "knew or should have known" about Donnie Stoner's conduct and were negligent in his hiring, training, supervision and retention. In response to the suit, Ronnie Stoner denied the allegations due to a lack of "sufficient knowledge," according to court documents. In response to the lawsuit, JCPS claimed governmental immunity. It's a common claim by school districts across the commonwealth used to avoid liability in child sex abuse cases, The Courier Journal found as part of its series, Silence & Secrets, which discovered at least 80 Kentucky middle- and high-school coaches were alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct in the last 15 years. Stoner's case was one of the more prominent cases profiled in "Silence & Secrets." At the time of its publishing, there were at least three former JCPS coaches on trial for charges related to child sex abuse. One of those coaches, Christopher 'Ro' Morris, has a trial starting this week for charges related to the alleged child sex abuse of two former athletes he coached at two JCPS middle schools.
