This was unprovoked. This guy is a serial criminal, a four-time deportee. According to the deputy assistant secretary of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2026\/03\/12\/four-time-deported-criminal-illegal-alien-15-prior-charges-arrested-after-shoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DHS<\/a>, he should never have been able to walk our streets and harm innocent Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"eiall5yi0wM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NYPD searching for suspect who pushed 2 men onto subway tracks\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eiall5yi0wM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He\u2019s probably going to get off the hook. Soon, he\u2019ll be receiving various taxpayer subsidies and eating a dollar-a-slice pizza. He\u2019s also probably living it up at the Roosevelt Hotel, where illegal aliens have been able to get better accommodations than most actual taxpaying New Yorkers for years now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The reason this story matters is not that it\u2019s shocking or surprising. It\u2019s not \u201cman bites dog.\u201d This has been happening for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This is directly attributable to mayors and governors like Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul. Mamdani and Hochul and all the Democrat mayors and governors of sanctuary cities and states are aiding and abetting these crimes. They are actively encouraging these crimes because sanctuary cities and states refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, and they refuse to turn these criminals over to ICE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">According to the current policy in New York City, this guy \u2014 if he is sent to prison \u2014 will be allowed to get out and run free in the city afterward. When ICE shows up and says we want to pick this guy up and deport him for the fifth time, New York will say, <em>No. We will not hand him over to you. We will protect the guy who threw the 83-year-old Air Force veteran onto the subway tracks, the guy with a rap sheet a mile long who has broken our laws countless times.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/hosts\/michael-knowles?elementPosition=4&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Hosts&amp;rowType=Hosts+Portrait+Carousel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1054531 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg\" alt=\"DailyWire+\" width=\"1024\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/03\/MK-watch-now-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto,  (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">At this point, the only way to stop him from doing it again is probably capital punishment. Yes, right now he wouldn\u2019t get back into the country because President Trump closed the border. But the next time you get a Democrat president, he or she will once again make the border wide open. And this guy will walk back in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These Democrat mayors and governors \u2014 Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul, and the rest of them \u2014 are actively working with this guy. They have blood on their hands. Every woman these people light on fire in a subway car in New York, every throat these people slash, every crime these people commit is on their hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And that\u2019s not hyperbole. They are very practically, very literally protecting these people from federal immigration enforcement. They are keeping them in the country, holding them tight when federal immigration enforcement tries to enforce the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Furthermore, we have to recognize something about illegal immigration: every single crime that illegal immigrants commit here is needless, gratuitous, and preventable. Every single one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The libs like to say, <em>Actually illegal aliens commit much less crime than the native-born population.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">First of all, that isn\u2019t true. Then they try to say illegal aliens commit less violent crime than the native-born population. You can make some arguments for that, but they\u2019re pretty weak arguments \u2014 and it misses the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We have to deal with the crime that native-born Americans commit. That\u2019s baked in. We don\u2019t have an option. We can\u2019t strip them of citizenship. But every single illegal immigrant who commits a crime here \u2014 whether it\u2019s rape and murder or jaywalking and tax evasion \u2014 every single one of those crimes is preventable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And therefore the people who fight tooth and nail to keep illegal immigrants in this country \u2014 even the convicted criminals, felons, and murderers \u2014 those people have blood on their hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2408\">That is why immigration is not an abstract policy debate. It is a question of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2410\" data-end=\"2487\">And the American people should hold every single Democrat accountable for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"payed-article-paywall\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DailyWire Personalities\" src=\"https:\/\/dailywireplus-v2.imgix.net\/images\/host-account-gate.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Continue reading this exclusive article and join the conversation, plus watch free videos on DW+<\/p>\n<p><button data-paywall-action-type=\"read:create-free-account\" data-testid=\"continue-reading-button-free\" type=\"button\" class=\"css-bpcd73\">CREATE FREE ACCOUNT<\/button><\/p>\n<p>Already a member?<!-- --> <button class=\"subscribeCTA-module__8WgioG__loginButton\" data-paywall-action-type=\"read:login\">Log in<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/air-force-vet-83-shoved-onto-subway-tracks-the-dem-policy-now-under-scrutiny\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an edited transcript excerpt from The Michael Knowles Show. * * * A Honduran national, deported four times from the United States, reportedly pushed an elderly Air Force veteran onto the tracks of the New York City subway.
