During this week’s White House press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre was asked why federal immigration officers aren’t “tougher” on illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes against American citizens.
Peter Doocy pointed out the case in New York involving a group of eight illegal immigrants who attacked a New York City police officer. Since the incident, six out of the eight suspects involved in the attack have been released on bail.
Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on the New York City incident due to it being an ongoing case. Despite her inability to comment on the specific case, Jean-Pierre stated, “Anyone who is found guilty of a crime should be held accountable.”
