A group of illegal aliens outside a Queens hotel allegedly assaulted two New York Police Department officers on Monday morning, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.The officers were reportedly attempting to check in on three unsupervised children outside the Long Island City hotel, which was converted into a shelter for illegal immigrants. When the two cops confronted a nearby group of adults around 4:30 a.m. on Monday, the illegal aliens attacked them, sources told the Post. 'A group of approximately five adults began punching, kicking, and shoving the officers.'Four male suspects — Juan Munoz, 25; Alejandro Munoz, 42; Karina Navarro-Chavez, 42; and Miguel Chiluisa, 23 — were arrested and charged with assault, attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration. Three of the men, Juan and Alejandro Munoz and Navarro-Chavez are also facing charges of child endangerment. Prosecutors stated that Chiluisa was arrested nearly an hour after the altercation because he attempted to flee the scene. He is also charged with second- and third-degree escape.A female suspect, who fled the scene, was accused of hitting one of the officers with a child's bicycle. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said, "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.""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 explained.The men were arraigned before Judge Edward Daniels on Tuesday. Daniels set bail at $50,000 in cash or a $150,000 bond for each suspect despite the District Attorney's office requesting that the suspects be held without bail. The men are scheduled to return to court on Friday, the Post reported.The two officers who were assaulted during the altercation sustained injuries, including abrasions and shoulder pain. They were treated at a nearby hospital.Earlier this year, a mob of illegal immigrant males attacked two NYPD officers in Times Square. The assault, which was caught on video, showed the men kicking and punching authorities before running away to avoid arrest. Last month, soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg offered plea deals to the six illegal aliens.In February, a group of unruly illegal immigrants residing at the Randall's Island shelter were caught on video hurling various objects at NYPD officers who were attempting to arrest an individual who refused to leave the premises.Like Blaze News?

Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza believes that CNN's rules for the upcoming presidential debate are skewed to help President Joe Biden.On Saturday, CNN announced the rules for the June 27 debate, including: muted microphones, commercial breaks, no live audience, no opening statements, and no use of pre-written notes. '[Biden] is older ... I do think he struggles more with these live performance kind-of-things than does Trump.'Previous presidential debates, traditionally hosted by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, featured live audiences and did not mute candidates' microphones. Cillizza said he is "surprised" Trump's campaign agreed to the rules because, in his view, they benefit Biden.Muted microphonesTo limit interruptions, CNN will only unmute the microphone of the candidate whose turn it is to speak.It's not clear how CNN plans to enforce this rule — whether the moderators will manually control the microphones or if an offstage producer will toggle the on/off switches — but Cillizza believes this rule clearly helps Biden."I don't love it from a debate perspective, but from a, 'Who does this benefit?' perspective, it clearly benefits Biden," he said."If you go back and look at the debates they had — they had two in 2020 between Biden and Trump — Trump just talks and talks and talks and talks, and that’s true in 2016, too. Like, he just over and over and over and over again — just talks," Cillizza added. "I do think it helps Biden because I think Trump just tries to get you off your pace, off your rhythm, off your game just by talking and talking and talking."Commercial breaksPreviously, presidential debates did not include commercials. But CNN apparently wants to make use of the expected high viewership to sell advertisements, planning to include two commercial breaks during the 90-minute debate. During those breaks, neither Trump nor Biden will be permitted to consult with their campaign staff."This probably benefits Biden a little bit just because he gets a little time to regroup," Cillizza admitted. "He is older — I know it's only three and a half years older — but I do think he struggles more with these live performance kind-of-things than does Trump," he explained. "I think that's a good thing for Biden. I think he benefits from a little breather within. So that's two rules and two good things for Biden."No studio audiencePrevious presidential debates featured studio audiences. But this debate will not include one, which Cillizza believes disadvantages Trump because the former president knows how to let a crowd energize him. On this point, Cillizza exposed his anti-Trump bias by claiming without evidence that Trump supporters are "more likely" than Biden supporters not to abide by debate rules."I do think this probably benefits Biden," he said. "Trump supporters are loud. They are more likely to not follow the debate rules. Like, at every debate they’re like, 'please don’t clap, please don’t cheer, please don’t express any sentiment toward either candidate until the end of the debate.' And people just don’t follow the rules," he continued. "I think the Trump people would be less likely to follow the rules just given what I know about them.""So you'd have a lot of cheering, a lot of booing, which I think might sort of impact how people perceive the debate," Cillizza went on to say. "OK, so that's three rules and three good things for Biden."No pre-written notesNot everything is a positive for Biden. The debate rule against using pre-written notes, Cillizza predicted, benefits Trump.On this point, Cillizza again revealed his own anti-Trump bias, but his general theory is likely correct."Trump, first of all, doesn't have a ton of policy positions he needs to remember, candidly, and he's just going to riff anyway, so it doesn't really change anything," he said."Biden, I do think he struggles a little bit more when it comes to extemporaneous speaking. I do think he has more policy that he's going to try to remember than Trump does, and it at least creates the possibility that Biden looks a little lost at some time. If he forgets his place, he can’t sort of look down at his notes and see like one word to remind him of what he wants to say," Cillizza added.So far, there are only two scheduled presidential debates.After CNN's debate next week, the second will take place on Sept. 10. ABC News is hosting that debate. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

An extraordinary discovery was made in a Roman tomb in Carmona, Spain. Among the skeletal remains of six individuals, researchers found a glass funerary urn containing a reddish liquid. At over 2,000 years old, this liquid has been identified as the oldest liquid wine ever discovered, tracing its origins back to Roman Andalusia. The identification process, led by Professor José Rafael Ruiz Arrebola from the University of Córdoba, revealed groundbreaking insights into ancient Roman funerary practices, not to mention wine preservation!  Commandaria: The Oldest Wine in Production and Richard the Lionheart's "King of Wines"  Read moreSection: ArtifactsOther ArtifactsNewsHistory & ArchaeologyRead Later
