Bass Ndiaye, an illegal alien from Senegal, has been charged with assaulting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and detainees using scissors. He was arrested on July 17 and was being processed at a federal immigration building in New York City. Ndiaye had previously been detained at the southern border in October 2023 but was released into the interior. His assault on ICE officers follows an alarming trend of increased assaults on law enforcement, reportedly up 800% compared to the previous year. DHS has attributed this rise to political narratives fueling violence against officers.
"This criminal illegal alien who [was] released into the country under President Biden will face justice for his violent crimes," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
The statement said Ndiaye is in the country as a result of the Biden administration's catch-and-release policies. He was arrested at the southern border by federal authorities in October 2023 but was released into the interior.
