IN THE NEWS---MIGRANT ACCUSED OF SHOOTING 2 NYPD COPS HAD IMMIGRATION CASE DISMISSED WITHIN A YEAR OF ILLEGALLY CROSSING TO US

Migrant accused of shooting two NYPD cops had immigration case dismissed within a year of illegally crossing into US

“This is just the latest example proving that the government does not have the capacity to adequately vet large numbers of people randomly pouring across our borders.”

The Venezuelan migrant accused of shooting two NYPD cops during the early hours of Monday morning crossed into the US illegally last year, but the case against him has already been dismissed, The Post can exclusively reveal.  Bernardo Castro Mata, 19 — who shot one officer in the chest and another in the leg after they attempted to stop his moped in Queens — had a hearing in Chicago on May 6 where an immigration judge closed his case, according to ICE sources.
