Democrats insist that crimes committed by illegal immigrants are statistical anomalies and that their so?called justice reform agenda is succeeding, yet the growing list of dead and maimed Americans tells a very different story.
According to RedState, that tragic roster now includes 83?year?old U.S. Air Force veteran and grandfather Richard Williams, who was allegedly shoved without provocation onto the subway tracks at Manhattans Lexington Avenue63rd Street station on March 8. Williams, who suffered catastrophic injuries in the attack, has since died, and prosecutors have moved to upgrade the charges against the suspect from assault to murder.
The accused assailant, 34?year?old Honduran national Bairon Posada?Hernandez (also identified as Bairon Hernandez in court records), was arrested on March 10 and is described by federal authorities as a repeat offender who should never have been in the country. Hernandez, who was picked up by police on March 10, is a serial criminal with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the Department of Homeland Security. He had been deported from the US four times, but kept returning to the country illegally, according to the DHS, underscoring the systemic failure to secure the border and to remove dangerous individuals permanently.
Investigators say the March 8 incident involved two victims, an 83?year?old man and a 31?year?old man, both pushed onto the tracks while no train was entering the station. According to investigators, a man pushed two people onto the tracks an 83-year-old man and a 31-year-old man. No train was entering the station at the time. Both men were rushed to NewYork?Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where the younger victim was treated for pain in his back, legs, and left arm and survived.
Williams, however, suffered a brain bleed and required emergency surgery, from which he never meaningfully recovered. The older man, later identified as Richard Williams, suffered a brain bleed and underwent surgery. Doctors determined he had no brain activity following the procedure. On March 25, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner formally ruled his death a homicide, clearing the way for upgraded charges.
The case has sparked outrage among New Yorkers and across the country, particularly because the suspects immigration and criminal history was well known to authorities. JUST IN: Bairon Posada-Hernandez, the criminal illegal alien who reportedly shoved an 83yo Veteran onto the NYC subway tracks, is now being charged with M*RDER after the 83yo died from his injuries. This illegal had been deported 4 times and has a long criminal history. Another post reiterated the same point: This illegal had been deported 4 times and has a long criminal history.
For many Americans, especially conservatives, this is not an isolated tragedy but part of a grim pattern enabled by progressive policies that shield criminal aliens and undermine law enforcement. Democrat policies protect criminal aliens like him, critics argue, pointing to sanctuary city ordinances, lax prosecution, and an ideological commitment to open borders that prioritizes political virtue?signaling over public safety.
Weve reported on similar stories many times, and one cant help but wonder, when will leftists realize that their soft-on-criminals views, their sanctuary city policies, and their love of open borders arent just failures, theyre downright cruel? the question now being asked is not rhetorical for families like the Williamses, or for the loved ones of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and Sheridan Gorman. The answer would appear to be never, as people like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker prove daily.
With the midterms approaching under President Trumps second administration, voters face a stark choice between a party that has pledged to restore border security and law and order, and a Democratic Party that continues to double down on policies that leave Americans vulnerable. With the midterms coming up, I hope voters are paying attention. The more power Democrats acquire, the more scenes like this one well continue to see.
