A 27-year-old illegal immigrant, Luis Hernandez-Moncayo, was arrested in Florida over the weekend for attempting to rape a woman and kidnapping. The incident occurred just a day after Hernandez-Moncayo applied for asylum in the United States. The victim managed to evade the attack by calling 911 and pretending to order a pizza, allowing police to locate and rescue her. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office released body camera footage showing the dramatic rescue. Sheriff Chitwood confirmed the details of the incident. Hernandez-Moncayo had previously been charged and released in New York for attempted murder. The case has drawn attention to the handling of asylum seekers by the Biden-Harris administration.
