The criminal aliens about whom ICE sought information from NYDOC include:
- A 21-year-old unlawfully present Guyanese national, who was arrested on January 10, by the NYPD and charged with murder, sexual abuse, contact by forcible compulsion, and sexual abuse of a 92-year old woman. He was previously released from local law enforcement custody in November 2019, despite ICE having lodged a detainer against him, due to New York City’s sanctuary policies;
- A 26-year-old citizen of El Salvador who was arrested in September 2019, for assault and is wanted in El Salvador for homicide. He was moved to Rikers Island, and ICE lodged a detainer against him. However, ICE is actively attempting to locate him in the community because he was released by NYDOC in December;
- A 38-year old citizen of Mexico who was arrested in January 2019, by the NYPD for attempted rape, unlawful imprisonment and attempted assault. He had two prior arrests by the NYPD for other criminal activity. ICE issued a detainer at the time of his last arrest, but he was released by NYDOC after posting bail;
- A 38-year-old citizen of Mexico who was arrested by NYPD in October 2019, on drug charges. ICE lodged a detainer against him but recently confirmed he had been released and the ICE detainer was declined. Previously, in 2012, he was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison for attempting to import methamphetamine. He has been previously removed to Mexico and currently there is a federal warrant for his arrest for illegal re-entry charge.
