From Fox News: Newly minted New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill ducked a question from Fox News Digital over an illegal alien in her state who allegedly fractured an 8-year-old girl’s skull by throwing a rock at a school bus.
Sherrill, who was inaugurated on Jan. 20 and expressed support for sanctuary-type policies during her campaign, declined to comment on the attack or the girl’s injuries. Instead, a spokesperson for Sherrill’s office referred Fox News Digital to the office of Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport.
In turn, a spokesperson for Davenport’s office told Fox News Digital that “nothing in New Jersey’s state laws would have prevented New Jersey law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials to deport Mr. Garcia-Morales.”
Though the spokesperson did not address the child’s injuries, they said “our office’s number one priority is keeping New Jerseyans safe.”
Hernando Garcia-Morales, 40, an illegal alien from Mexico, reportedly entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location. In other words, he would be considered a “gotaway.”
Garcia-Marales, who has an extensive criminal history, is known as a “serial rock-thrower,” who authorities have linked to multiple similar incidents beginning on July 13, 2025, Fox News reported.
Garcia-Morales was also arrested for burglary in 2023 and for possession of a weapon and theft in 2006. Since the school bus incident, he is currently being held at the Bergen County Jail.
DHS posted a mugshot of Hernando Garcia-Morales on Monday, and wrote:
On January 7, Hernando Garcia-Morales, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico threw a baseball-sized rock into a school bus traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike. Garcia-Morales hit and fractured an 8-year-old student’s skull.
Garcia-Morales has an extensive criminal history while living in New Jersey — but was released back into the community. 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.
CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN TARGETS SCHOOL BUS FULL OF CHILDREN.
