A man accused of attacking a Louisiana student with a hammer is the reason that President Donald Trump has transferred a number of illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Gov said. Jeff Landry Monday.
Juan Monroy, 32, is accused of attempting a second-degree murder after he reportedly attacked a Nicholls State University student on Friday near the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Thibodaux, 60 miles west of New Orleans.
The attack was not provoked and seemed to be random, the authorities said.

Monroy was quickly caught because of university police and church employees, the school said. He worked on a non-university vacancy next to the campus at the time of the incident, said civil servants.
The non -Geidified student was treated in a medical facility and released.
“Our focus is currently on the well -being of our student at this incident. We want to thank the rapid action of the Nicholls State University Police and all local agencies that helped in this study,” said Nicholl’s President Jay Jay Jay Klop.

Monroy was booked in the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex where he is held on $ 500,000 bail.
In addition, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has also set an extra hold on its release, the Sheriff office told Fox News Digital.
“This is another pointless act of violence committed by someone who should not be in our country,” Landry said in response to the arrest. “Samples such as these are the reason why the federal government opens Guantanamo Bay. We are with our victims.”
