‘Monster’ rock-thrower who fractured skull of 8-year-old girl on school bus is an illegal migrant from Mexico: DHS
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The maniac accused of hurling a rock at a school bus from a New Jersey Turnpike overpass — fracturing the skull of an 8-year-old girl — is an illegal immigrant from Mexico with a long rap sheet, The Post has learned.
Hernando Garcia-Morales, 40, allegedly threw the baseball-sized stone on Jan. 7 at a bus returning to Teaneck after a field trip to the Liverty Science Center.
Garcia-Morales told cops he believed the bus “was the devil or his enemy” when he was arrested two days after the attack at a homeless encampment in Palisades Park, NJ.
Federal officials told The Post this week the unhinged menace should never have been in the USA to begin with.
The Department of Homeland Security does not know when or where Garcia-Morales illegally entered the country but his criminal history in the Garden State stretches back two decades.
In 2006 he was arrested for possession of a weapon and theft, according to DHS. And he was in trouble with the law twice in 2023, the agency revealed, but was not charged in sanctuary state.
On July 23, 2023, Garcia-Morales was arrested for burglary after allegedly entering a building in Hackensack, NJ, DHS reported. Those charges were not pursued. The following day, he was arrested again in Hackensack and charged with giving false information and attempted burglary.
Those charges were downgraded by the Municipal Court of Hackensack on Sept. 20, 2023 and Garcia-Morales walked away with only a 30-day jail sentence and $905 fine for disorderly conduct.
In the 2006 arrest in Hackensack, he was convicted on both charges and sentenced to 330 days in jail, according to DHS.
He is a suspect in several other rock-throwing incidents last year, where cars and cops were targeted, authorities said. He has twice been accused of peeping into homes in Bogota, NJ, according to authorities, NorthJersey.com reported.
Despite his illegal status and alleged violence, Garcia-Morales never faced deportation because of New Jersey’s sanctuary immigration policies, DHS claimed.
“Violently targeting a school bus full of children is extremely wicked and heinous,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Hernando Garcia-Morales should have never been in this country, let alone released after multiple arrests into New Jersey communities.
“ICE has lodged an arrest detainer against this monster, and we hope New Jersey’s sanctuary politicians will help us keep him off American streets for good,” McLaughlin said.
The Department of Justice is currently suing four Garden State cities for obstructing federal immigration authorities with policies that prevent local law enforcement from coordinating with federal immigration agencies to deport illegal-alien criminals.

e spite his illegal status and alleged violence, Garcia-Morales never faced deportation because of New Jersey’s sanctuary immigration policies
These are the people Democrats are fighting to keep in the country. If a few schoolgirls get their skulls cracked, so be it. They've chosen who they prioritize. They certainly won't be contributing to help yet another victim of the policies they created
I'll meet your 1 single example with one of my own...
Colorado man guilty of first-degree murder in rock-throwing death of 20-year-old woman
BTW, NOT an undocumented immigrant.
So what? Do you really not grasp the difference between American citizens and illegal aliens?
Yes I do. Undocumented immigrants are much much much less likely to commit crimes.
Probably required 200 ICE agents dressed in full SWAT gear and the collateral beatdown of 50 other people to apprehend this guy. Must have been even more difficult without a 5 year-old to use as bait.
The news media isn't even using the name "immigration protests" any more. Now they're anti-ICE protests. People are protesting ICE behaving like secret police. ICE is even losing support within the Deep State over their barbarian tactics.
And they just shot and killed another person in Minnesota 3 hours ago.
Yeah, another martyr for the left to riot over. Who cares about a girl on a bus getting her skull fractured?
An armed criminal attacked the border patrol and was killed fighting them. Be quick to send money to his family and take to the streets to ensure people like him are free to attack LEOS because violent criminals are the only people progressives seem to actually care about.
I look forward to the "it's an execution for federal officers to shoot armed gunmen trying to kill them" defense the left is going to drop.
As they are already starting to do.
'Nuther sorry I'm trying to run down has to do with an Illegal Alien who has been arrested 70 times and has yet to be deported because of the sanctuary status of his state
Oh I care, but why the selective outrage? It's only bad when it's an illegal committing a crime. Give it a rest. You defended the murder of Rene Good, but when it's an illegal killing someone, somehow that 'more worser'?

Becuase crimes by illegals, especially second and third and fortieth offenses, are completely preventable by deporting illegals. It’s literally a choice by politicians to allow these easily preventable violent crimes to occur.
You defended the murder of Rene Good
Self defense is not a murder.
LOL
An excuse is not justification.
