An Amish woman is being hailed for her heroic effort to fend off an illegal alien with a weedwhacker after he tried to abduct her at knifepoint.
The woman, who was referred to in community reports as “June,” was working in the yard outside her home when she was confronted by Junior Jose Davila-Moran — the 26-year-old New Jersey resident tapped the woman on her shoulder while holding an eight-inch serrated knife and a pair of handcuffs, according to Fox 17
Davila-Moran, who entered the U.S. illegally, tried to convince the woman to let him cuff her wrists, assuring her it would be okay if she complied —Â the potential victim, who was holding a weed whacker at the time, was anything but. She screamed as loud as she could while aggressively revving the yard tool’s motor to full power and swung it at the would-be kidnapper’s face.

Realizing that his targeted victim was not going to go quietly, the suspect reportedly turned and fled the property.
Davila-Moran was arrested later and charged with attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, simple assault, terroristic threats, and other charges, according to the Fox affiliate.
“In January 2018, Border Patrol arrested Davila-Moran in Donna, Texas, after he illegally entered the country. He was transferred to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody due to being a juvenile,’ an ICE spokesperson said of Davila-Moran’s immigration status.
Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons responded to the story to call on law enforcement agencies to work with ICE to help keep Americans safe.
“I have been outspoken on this case since the beginning because the facts are so terrible,” Parsons posted on X. “Stranger kidnappings are very rare, but very dangerous and terrifying to the victim and the community. Now we know that charged individual is allegedly an illegal alien who drove from New Jersey to a very rural Lancaster County to attempt to prey on an Amish woman here.”
I have been outspoken on this case since the beginning because the facts are so terrible. Stranger kidnappings are very rare, but very dangerous and terrifying to the victim and the community. Now we know that charged individual is allegedly an illegal alien who drove from New Jersey to a very rural Lancaster County to attempt to prey on an Amish woman here.
From the ABC27 article: “when she turned around after feeling a tap on her shoulder and saw Junior Davila-Moran, 26, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by the Pennsylvania State Police. He was holding a knife and handcuffs.”
The charged individual was previously in custody and allowed to stay in the U.S. in a “Resettlement” program. From the LNP article today:
“’In January 2018, Border Patrol arrested Davila-Moran in Donna, Texas after he illegally entered the country. He was transferred to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody due to being a juvenile,’ an ICE spokesperson said in a statement.”
This is exactly why we must enforce the law. This is exactly what I have warned about in the face of anti-law enforcement protestors who come to our public meetings and attack law enforcement for doing their jobs and working with ICE. This is exactly why every law enforcement agency must work with their federal partners to keep Americans safe. If you care at all about your neighbors, enforce the law.
(I am surprised the LNP actually reported that it was an illegal alien as they have consistently appeared to side with and work with anti-law enforcement protestors.)

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
Voters need to remember: Democrats would fight to keep this guy in the United States and defund the agency that would remove him.

Any person that believes Amish women are weak and timid have no clue what it takes to live their lifestyle!

I don’t think “attempted” should exist as a charge subclass. You kidnapped her. She fucked up your kidnapping. Full charge.

Don’t mess with the Amish. It’s probably only a matter of time before the Democrats and most of the media come to the defense of this criminal illegal immigrant from Guatemala. They’ll call him a “New Jersey man”. Senator Chris Van Hollen will probably visit him in jail.
