An illegal alien who was released by the Biden administration was involved in the shooting of a Customs and Border Protection officer in New York City on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 

The department announced on Sunday that two suspects, including one illegal alien, shot the federal immigration officer during an apparent attempted robbery. The officer is hospitalized in stable condition, DHS said in a social media post. 

“On the evening of July 19, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in what looks like an attempted robbery,” DHS posted on X. “The officer, who was off duty at the time, is currently in the hospital in stable condition. One of the alleged perpetrators was an illegal alien with prior arrests for felony 2nd and 3rd degree assault and an order of deportation.”

The incident is currently being investigated by the New York City Police Department. 

Local news outlets reported that the 42-year-old officer was shot in the face and arm at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan just before midnight. According to NBC New York, the officer exchanged gunfire with the suspects as the attempted robbery took place. One of the suspects was taken into custody, the outlet reported.

The department identified one of the suspects, Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, as a citizen of the Dominican Republic who was released into the country by the Biden administration after he was apprehended on April 4, 2023, crossing the border near San Luis, Arizona.

Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for Homeland Security, said that the suspect had a warrant for kidnapping from Massachusetts and was first ordered deported in 2003. 

The department also released footage of the incident. In the footage, two people can be seen arriving near a body of water on a motorcycle. One gets off the motorcycle and walks towards another on an embankment before opening fire. The two individuals then drive off on the motorcycle. 

“UPDATE: footage shows two assailants, one an illegal alien with criminal charges, ambushing and shooting a @CBP officer yesterday in New York City,” the post from DHS said.

We received welcome and amusing news on Thursday: Stephen Colbert will be done in very short order — and the Left is going nuts.

Colbert has not been funny for at least a decade. There was a time when he served as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and he was funny. Then he did The Colbert Report, which was him as a left-winger trying to mock and parody Bill O’Reilly. It was intermittently funny. Then they made him the late-night show host at CBS. 

And he was abysmal. 

Now, CBS is announcing that they are done with Stephen Colbert because of the cost of his show and because of his low ratings. CBS executives issued a statement: “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”

By “irreplaceable,” do they mean “we will get rid of him and never replace him”?

That is not what irreplaceable means. If I say that my wife is irreplaceable, what I mean is that I’m going to stay married to her forever. I don’t mean that I’m going to toss her to the side of the road and never get married again.

“Remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”

I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t think he’ll make the top ten. 

Perhaps the top hundred (if there are even that many).

CBS continued: “This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”

However, Variety speculated, “There has been growing speculation that both Colbert and Jon Stewart, who hosts one broadcast of Comedy Central’s ‘Daily Show’ each week, could be under growing scrutiny from executives at Skydance Media, which is slated to acquire Paramount Global, the parent of both CBS and Comedy Central. David Ellison, who leads Skydance, has projected an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President Donald Trump, who Colbert and Stewart routinely skewer in monologues and commentary.”

So the blue sky Left is going crazy over this. They believe that Paramount is firing Colbert in order to help President Trump in some way, which is really an absurd contention given the fact that Stephen Colbert does not have ratings.

His ratings are trash. He has terrible ratings, period. End of story.  When Greg Gutfeld is eating your lunch on a cable network, that proves that you’re not doing a very good job in late-night. 

Colbert has not been funny for years and years and years. 

I think we should all remember Stephen Colbert’s legacy together. Here are some sterling examples:

“Why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? We’ve got our own on Capitol Hill!”

“No one came to Trump’s big, stupid birthday parade.”

“MAGA stands for Make America Grass Again.”

“You attract more skinheads than free Rogaine.”

“You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.”

What will we do without scintillating jokes like that?

We will laugh a hell of a lot more, and life will be better because he was a terrible late-night host.

Jimmy Kimmel of ABC  went on Instagram to write, “Love you, Stephen. F*** you and all your Sheldons, CBS.”

There’s an opportunity for ABC to do the funniest thing ever.
