“NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell says tackling the city’s migrant crime crisis has been a learning curve. Appearing on Fox News […] the New York City police official noted the city has struggled with the intake of over 200,000 migrants in the last two years.
Chell emphasized that while the majority of illegal migrants are seeking economic opportunity […], a significant portion are engaging in criminal activities, including robberies and assaults on officers.

During the interview, Fox News host Lawrence Jones asked about the task of policing communities where the backgrounds of individuals are unknown.
“How difficult has it been when you’re having to police communities now where you don’t know their records?” he asked, adding: “You have no clue where they came from. Although the majority of them are law-abiding citizens, that small factor that [is] on mopeds, causing problems for you, how hard is it?”
“It’s new for us. It’s difficult because we don’t know who you are. So, we’re kind of learning as we go. Every arrest we make we don’t say, is he a migrant? But the big events, we see it,” Chell responded […], “I’ll give you a staggering stat: crimes committed on mopeds, fleeing on mopeds [have] increased about 200 percent in the last two years. It’s tremendous for us. We’ve never dealt with it.”
In addition to robberies, these illegal migrants have perpetrated shootings and assaults on law enforcement personnel, with recent incidents occurring in high-profile locations such as Times Square.
Chell claimed, however, that the officers are adapting to these new challenges and have removed approximately 41,000 mopeds from the streets, targeting gang members involved in these crimes.
The National Pulse reported that the use of mopeds by illegal migrants serving as delivery couriers has been a growing concern in several U.S. cities. Almost all of these new couriers hail from Central and South America and lack legal work permits. Additionally, many lack driver’s licenses, as well as vehicle and liability insurance—meaning they’re operating on the streets in contravention of the law.”
