Alleged Plane Door Breach by Illegal Immigrant Sparks Security Scare, Audio Reveals
- On Monday, Honduras-born Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto attempted to storm the cockpit of a United Airlines flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport , claiming he had a bomb in his backpack.
- Authorities identified Gomez-Alberto as a twice-deported individual previously released "pending removal proceedings, by a judge." His criminal history includes "felony bomb threat, felony threat, terroristic state offenses, and disorderly conduct," the Department of Homeland Security said.
- 46 passengers and six crew members were aboard the aircraft during the incident. The flight crew detained Gomez-Alberto at the rear of the plane before it landed safely in New Orleans, where local police arrested him.
- On Tuesday, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency , which is under the Department of Homeland Security, "lodged a detainer" for Gomez-Alberto. ICE officials also labeled him "a criminal illegal alien" in a post on X.
- Under President Donald Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, "criminal illegal aliens who try to HIJACK AIRPLANES are NOT welcome in the United States," the Department of Homeland Security stated. Gomez-Alberto resided in the Bronx, New York.
