A gang-affiliated migrant mom accused of shipping high-powered guns to Colombia by hiding them in speakers and air conditioners walked free after posting bond, according to sources and court records.


Ingrid Vanessa Duque-Morales, 33 — who has ties to the El Mesa Y Pachelly transnational criminal organization — was arrested on an indictment at her daughter’s home on 191st Street near Northern Boulevard in Flushing Tuesday, law enforcement sources said.


But she was able to post bond and walked out of jail days after her arrest, despite officials looking to have her deported due to her illegal immigration status.


Duque-Morales is accused of taking part in the gun-smuggling activity from Oct. 14 to Nov. 11, 2020, using a Miami freight forwarder to ship them to the South American country, according to a court document filed in the Southern District of Florida.
