slaughter for his alleged involvement in the line-of-duty death of Sgt. Michael Kunovich of the St. John’s County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office. The migrant reportedly resisted arrest, claimed he did not speak English, and attempted to evade the officers, Sgt. Kunovich tragically succumbed to medical distress during the incident. ICE released the migrant 10 months later. This case risks setting a bad precedent that a migrant can claim a language barrier as an excuse to actively resist law enforcement. In January 2024, Americans watched the news media video coverage of 14 violent migrants viciously attacking two NYPD 20 The Blues - July ‘24 officers in Times Square. Fortunately, the officers’ determination, teamwork, and back-up support helped them survive the assault. This violent group included either known gotaways or unknown got-aways who posed a lethal threat to the officers. This situation was exacerbated by the reckless perspective on bail advocated by the Manhattan District Attorney and a judge that led to the release of these suspects after their arrest. What message does this send to other violent got-aways when interacting with the police? During the following month in New York, a 15-year-old gotaway allegedly shot at NYPD officers. After attempting to rob a store, this violent migrant shot a tourist and then targeted officers as he attempted to flee, police say. Later that same month, a gotaway reportedly shot three Metro DC officers in Washington and then became a barricaded lethal subject. Fortunately, all three officers survived. In March, an illegal migrant under the influence crashed his vehicle into the patrol vehicle of a Washington state trooper, authorities say. Tragically, Trooper Christopher Gadd was killed. Undoubtedly, the surge of got-aways across the Southwest border presents a critical officer safety hazard. During a March 24, 2024, news interview, Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens said the 140,000 got-aways is what keeps him up at night. I am with him, and what keeps me up at night is the next violent gotaway that causes a law enforcement fatality. The federal government needs to get the Border Patrol and the Border sheriffs and officers the resources they need, so that violent got-aways become got-caughts.
