On Staten Island there are 3 boroughs.
www.nyc.gov...
In response to the escalating violence against Mexicans in Port Richmond, Staten Island, the Consulate General of Mexico in New York is posting personnel that will remain in the borough until further notice.
In an article by the Staten Island Advance, there has been a string of muggings in the New York borough of Staten Island.

Just one question when an illegal emergent gets assaulted in NY and these Policia step in to stop and someone gets shot or killed what judicial system will the policia fall under US laws or Mexico's laws?

As most of my faithful readers know, USNORTHCOM is a combatant command "created to respond to national emergencies in North America." Readers should also be aware that the United States and Canada signed an agreement earlier this year allowing the armed forces from one country to assist the armed forces of the other country during a "domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis." (Emphasis added.)

This is no different than the Marines guarding or patrolling
an American Embassy on foreign soil.
They are cops.

Also, doesn't this set a bad precedent for America? As time goes on, I'm sure immigration concerns and debates will heat up. Will the Mexican government be allowed in other areas to protect their former residents?
I don't think it's a good idea to set the precedent of allowing foreign troops in random areas that have nothing to do with protecting embassies or anything like that.
Let's just hope the Chinese government doesn't think that they have to intervene in China-towns across America. Essentially America is setting the precedent for allowing potential enemies right into their neighbourhoods. Hopefully this 'program' isn't expanded. Not too smart.

protect their own nationals. They are not there to police
America. 2 different things
The Mexican embassy does not cover the whole of Staten Island. They would have no jurisdiction on American soil,unless the City of New York invited them to police the Island.
