Ex-Gov. Paterson Criticizes Lenient Border and Crime Policies After Migrants Assault NYPD Officers

Former New York Governor David Paterson calls for policy reforms following the release of migrants accused of assaulting police officers, highlighting systemic issues in border control and criminal justice.

Ex-Gov. David Paterson expressed outrage over the release of migrants accused of assaulting NYPD officers, calling it a 'final straw' for lenient US border and crime policies.
The incident involved migrants beating two cops in Times Square, with some of the accused fleeing to California after being released without bail.
Paterson criticized the Biden administration and local law enforcement for their roles in what he sees as a failure to uphold public safety and accountability.
The former governor also touched on New York's controversial cashless bail law, suggesting it contributes to a lack of accountability for defendants.
This case has sparked debate over border policies and the criminal justice system, with calls for more stringent measures to ensure public safety and legal compliance.
