Police say a man who was tackled by the vigilante Guardian Angels in Times Square during a live Fox News interview was not actually a 'migrant' as founder Curtis Sliwa claimed.

It turns out that a "migrant" tackled by the vigilante Guardian Angels in Times Square during a live Fox News interview this week was not actually a "migrant" as founder Curtis Sliwa claimed.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) clarified that the individual is from New York City, not Venezuela as stated by Sliwa.


During the Fox News interview with Sean Hannity in Times Square, Sliwa, a former GOP New York City mayoral candidate, labeled the man as "one of the migrant guys" before members of the Guardian Angels subdued him. Sliwa alleged that the man had been shoplifting, but the NYPD has stated that there is no evidence to support this claim.

You can watch what happened in the video below.

According to an NYPD spokesperson, the man, a Bronx resident, was detained by bystanders and issued a summons for repeatedly attempting to interfere with a live television interview. The spokesperson mentioned that the man was acting in a "loud, disorderly, threatening manner" on the sidewalk.

The news that the story was overblown did not surprise critics who called out Fox for airing the assault on camera and legitimizing Sliwa's actions.




Sliwa, who founded the Guardian Angels in the 1970s, criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams during the interview, particularly focusing on the city's prepaid card program for migrants. The group has faced scrutiny in the past, with Sliwa admitting that some of their "early crime-fighting exploits were actually faked."

The altercation in Times Square has raised questions about the Guardian Angels' handling of the situation. Sliwa claimed that the man hit a "female Guardian Angel," leading other members to intervene. The shoplifting allegation appears to be based on information from the crowd, and Sliwa insisted that he believed the man was a migrant because he was "speaking Spanish."

He told Fox News that "illegals think they own this street, they think they rule the night" and added that "if they can't abide by the rules, then we're gonna kick 'em back from where they came.'" He said the migrant community "got a little bit of taste of what the Guardian Angels are gonna do to liberate Times Square from them."

The NYPD has not provided details on whether members of the Guardian Angels are under investigation for their actions during the incident.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
