ERO New York City arrests Jamaican citizen, aggravated felon with extensive criminal history
NEW YORK — Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) New York City arrested a 45-year-old citizen of Jamaica with an extensive criminal history spanning over 20 years. His numerous aggravated felonies include attempted murder, robbery, weapons violation during a crime of violence and criminal sale of a controlled substance.
ERO New York City’s Long Island Fugitive Operations and New York City Special Response Team arrested the noncitizen outside of his residence in Queens without incident. He will remain in custody pending removal proceedings.
“Rather than take advantage of the opportunity afforded him to live in United States and pursue everything this country has to offer, this individual chose to embrace a life of crime,” said ERO New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo. “His repeated felonies prove that he is a threat to the community, so leaving him on the streets would compromise the safety of all New Yorkers. Our officers should be commended for their continued dedication to removing dangerous criminals from our neighborhoods.”
The noncitizen entered the United States in New York as a lawful permanent resident on April 6, 1993.
