Former President Trump reacted to the broad daylight rape of a 13-year-old girl in New York, expressing shock and disbelief at the heinous crime. The incident occurred in Queens, where an illegal Ecuadorian immigrant attacked two 13-year-old children in a popular park. The man, armed with a machete, tied the boy and girl together by the wrists and raped the girl in broad daylight.
The migrant responsible for the crime entered the United States illegally in 2021 and had prior low-level offenses, including subway fare jumping and public drinking. Trump condemned the attack, labeling the perpetrators as 'Biden migrants' and warning of the escalating crisis at the border.
Trump emphasized the need for stronger border control measures, stating that the situation would worsen unless he was elected president. He criticized President Biden's open border policy, attributing the tragedy to lax immigration enforcement.
The assault took place at Kissena Park, a well-known location in Queens, prompting Trump to reflect on the changing safety dynamics in the area. He recalled a time when such incidents were unimaginable, highlighting the stark contrast to the present-day security concerns.
Expressing condolences to the victim's family, Trump acknowledged the gravity of the situation and called for justice to be served. The NYPD had offered a reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest, utilizing surveillance footage to aid in the investigation.
