A group of illegal aliens are now facing gang assault charges after reportedly attacking two NYPD officers outside a Queens hotel shelter, as per prosecutors and law enforcement sources on Tuesday.
The altercation occurred shortly before 4:30 a.m. Monday, when the cops were checking on three unsupervised children outside the converted Long Island City hotel where 'asylum seekers' are housed. The suspects allegedly launched a physical attack as the officers tried to ensure the kids' safety.
"In an effort to check on the children’s safety, they approached a nearby group of adults to make sure that the children were being supervised," stated Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.

"At that point, a group of approximately five adults began punching, kicking, and shoving the officers – with two assailants throwing bikes and striking the cops," Katz elaborated.
Law enforcement reported that all four individuals—Juan Munoz (25), Alejandro Munoz (42), Karina Navarro-Chavez (42), and Miguel Chiluisa (23)—are migrants living in city-funded sites.
During their arraignment before Judge Edward Daniels, they were charged with assault, attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, and child endangerment in the case of Juan and Alejandro Munoz, and Navarro-Chavez. Furthermore, Chiluisa, who fled the scene and was apprehended nearly an hour later, faces additional second and third-degree escape charges.
The suspected offenders were brought before Judge Daniels, who set bail at $50,000 in cash or a $150,000 bond for each. They are scheduled to appear in court again on Friday.

Deport them you dammned fools!
Ohhhh noooo gift them with a biden cellphone and $1500.00 with an apology and a pat on the back and tell them ya’ll be nice. bye.
Oh and the officers face a fine and loss of employment for 6 months or community service in the area.
The NYPD and illegals are on the same side. They may clash occasionally but that’s it. Go ahead and try to deport them and you’ll find out where police really stand…
Just start arresting them and shipping them home along with their families. If home country won’t take them back. Withdraw all aid from nation and throw their citizens into jail and the kids into an orphanage.
Shoot to kill! Not wound or try to scare but kill! That way only one side of story to tell.
