With New York City facing an alarming spike in homicides – including the murders of two NYPD officers last Friday — U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Republican challenger Desi Cuellar is proposing a federal death penalty for convicted cop killers.
Cuellar’s plan comes amid an alarming “war on police”nationwide – with at least six officers killed in the line of duty in the U.S. so far in 2022 and others shot at, attacked or otherwise targeted by criminals, according to data from the Officer Down Memorial Page.
And this year follows 2021, which was the “deadliest year for law enforcement officers in history,” according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Cuellar spoke about the recent violence against police in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“What breaks my heart the most is that officers like Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora are heroes — everybody says that, nobody has a problem saying that,” Cuellar said Wednesday. “But it is a shame that our brave men and women who risk their lives every day to protect us have to die before we look at them or refer to them as heroes.”
Thousands of people attended Rivera’s wake Thursday afternoon at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan – civilians and officers alike, with uniformed mourners coming from as far as Virginia, Canada, Massachusetts and overseas to pay their respects. His funeral was scheduled for Friday.
Hundreds of police officers waited outside the Midtown church and held a moment of silence as Rivera’s casket was carried inside.
