Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed New York City officials and “sanctuary city policies” for the shooting of an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer in an apparent robbery gone wrong over the weekend.

The suspect in the July 7 shooting, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, fired "many rounds" at the federal building that houses the U.S. Border Patrol office at the McAllen International Airport, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez.

An off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot late Saturday night at a park in NYC, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed.
