The suspect in custody has been identified as 29-year-old Uzbekistan immigrant Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, who has been in the United States since 2010 – after entering the country on “diversity visa.” Details are still coming in about Saipov, but it’s been confirmed that he has addresses in Florida and New Jersey. Officials also say that he doesn’t have a criminal record to speak of – and that’s he’s worked as a truck driver and as an Uber driver.
Trump went after Schumer saying "The terrorist came into our country through what is called the 'Diversity Visa Lottery Program,' a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.”
The Senator responded with a statement. "I have always believed and continue to believe that immigration is good for America,” Schumer said. "President Trump, instead of politicizing and dividing America, which he always seems to do at times of national tragedy, should be focusing on the real solution — anti-terrorism funding — which he proposed cutting in his most recent budget."
