Former President Trump responded to the recent horrific incident of a 13-year-old girl being raped in broad daylight in New York, calling it “unthinkable” and emphasizing that it should never have happened. He expressed concern that the migrant crisis under the Biden administration will continue to worsen unless he is elected president in November.
The perpetrator of the crime, an illegal Ecuadorian immigrant, is currently in NYPD custody after committing the heinous act in Queens. It was reported that he had entered the United States illegally in 2021 and had prior low-level offenses on his record.
Trump criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the border situation, referring to the influx of migrants as “Biden migrants” flooding the country. He warned that the situation will escalate further if he is not elected president, claiming that individuals from various backgrounds, including jails and mental institutions, as well as potential terrorists, are entering the country.
The attack took place at Kissena Park in Queens, a popular area near significant landmarks like Citi Field and the U.S. Open. Trump, who has personal connections to the neighborhood, expressed disbelief at the incident, recalling a time when such tragedies were unheard of in the area.
He extended his condolences to the victim’s family and emphasized that the tragic event should never have occurred. Police were able to apprehend the suspect thanks to tips from neighbors and surveillance footage, leading to his arrest.
The safety of children in public spaces is a growing concern, and incidents like these highlight the need for increased vigilance and security measures. Trump’s comments reflect broader concerns about immigration policies and public safety under the current administration.
As the issue of immigration continues to be a contentious topic in American politics, incidents like these serve as reminders of the complex challenges faced by communities and law enforcement agencies. It remains to be seen how policymakers will address these issues moving forward.
