A Venezuelan migrant with suspected gang ties who illegally snuck across the border and went on a “terrorizing” crime spree still won’t be deported, a House committee report reveals.
Department of Homeland Security officials stonewalled congressional requests for months about Daniel Hernandez Martinez, 30, the migrant who The Post revealed last September had been arrested — and released — eight times on 14 charges in the Big Apple.
Now, the House Judiciary Committee has received Martinez’s full Homeland Security record, revealing the “suspected Tren de Aragua gang member” committed a total of “at least 22 criminal offenses” in New York City between June and November 2023, a 10-page report released Wednesday shows.
