Cops allegedly beaten by rowdy migrant mob near Times Square — with suspects later freed without bail: horrifying video​

Shocking video captured the moment a migrant mob pounded a pair of cops near Times Square over the weekend — but the busted cowardly suspects were still released back onto the street without bail, sources say.
The footage shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant initially telling the migrants to move along around 8:30 p.m. Saturday on West 42nd Street in Manhattan — before things quickly get rowdy as a scuffle breaks out between the cops and a suspect who is wrestled to the ground.
That’s when the rest of the punks converge on the officers, raining kicks to the head and body of the pair of New York’s Finest as the cops rumble with their pal, whose yellow sweatshirt is completely torn off in the melee.
The video shows the two officers left on the ground as the pack runs east on 42nd Street toward Seventh Avenue and gets away — though not for long.
Police initially busted four of the asylum-seeking thugs, identified by sources as Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servat Arocha, 19, Juarez Wilson, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24.
All four were charged with assault and released without bail, sources said.

A fifth suspect, Jhoan Boada, 22, was arrested Monday night and charged with attempted assault of a police officer, according to police sources.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said it is still investigating the incident and reviewing additional video of the alleged assault.
The two assaulted cops, who were not identified, suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene. One sustained cuts to the face while the other had bruising to the body, according to sources.







One of the men, Reveron, has two open cases in Manhattan for assault and robbery.


In November, he allegedly “pushed, punched and bit” a Nordstrom Rack employee who caught him lifting a $130 item from the Union Square store’s display rack, according to law enforcement sources.

Last month, Reveron also allegedly “punched with a closed fist” a loss prevention officer at the Herald Square Macy’s after trying to pull off a robbery with two other suspects, the sources said.


“Attacks on police officers are becoming an epidemic, and the reason is a revolving door we’re seeing in cases like this one,” said Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Hendry in a statement. “It is impossible for police officers to deal effectively with crime and disorder if the justice system can’t or won’t protect us while we do that work.”


The shocking incident is just the latest example of asylum seekers running afoul of the law in the Big Apple since migrants began flooding into the five boroughs since the spring of 2022.


More than 172,000 migrants from the US border with Mexico have flooded into the Big Apple over that span, with more than 67,000 still housed in city shelters and hotels.

A small percentage of the asylum seekers have been tied to crimes, including the fatal stabbing of a 24-year-old migrant at a city shelter on Randall’s Island on Jan. 7.


The Post reported this week that nearly 100 migrants also have popped up on the NYPD’s radar as suspected pickpockets. One team of accused sticky-fingered asylum seekers was busted over the weekend for allegedly targeting Greenwich Village bars.




Also this month, residents near Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field, where a 2,000-bed migrant tent shelter was erected, complained about “lawlessness” by the occupants there.


By September, more than 40 migrants had been arrested at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the city’s intake center for the thousands arriving in the city, too.

​

Republican pols are lining up to demand that the rowdy migrants nabbed in a caught-on-camera attack on two NYPD cops in Times Square get deported — as Gov. Kathy Hochul said it’s something that should certainly be “looked at.”
The Democratic governor, speaking to reporters after announcing the nomination of Steven G. James as New York State Police Superintendent on Wednesday, was asked about the shocking beatdown and whether the asylum-seeking suspects should be deported.
“I think that’s actually something that should be looked at,” Hochul replied.
“I mean, if someone commits a crime against a police officer in the state of New York and they’re not here legally, it’s definitely worth checking into,” she said.
“These are law enforcement officers who should never under any circumstances be subjected to physical assault,” Hochul added. “It’s wrong on all accounts and I’m looking to judges and prosecutors to do the right thing.”
Footage of the incident on West 42nd Street shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant telling a group of migrants to move along before a scuffle breaks out. The officers sustained kicks and punches as they attempted to wrestle some of the individuals to the ground.

Hochul wasn’t the only elected official weighing in on the deportation question.
“That law that’s prohibiting cooperation between NYPD and federal immigration enforcement — it just has to stop,” Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) told The Post.

“Republicans, Independents, Democrats should at least be able to agree that if you’re in this city, and you’re committing a crime, you have given up any opportunity to ever become a part of this citizenry, period.” Malliotakis added.
Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella agreed and said the Big Apple should not have been surprised by the vicious migrant mob attack on two of New York’s Finest.
“This is the fruit of the poisonous tree,” Fossella said.

“That situation is abhorrent to me,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. AP
“We warned more than a year ago about letting all these migrants in. Now we’re getting the worst of the worst,” he added. “I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t deport these individuals immediately for assaulting our police officers.
“We shouldn’t spend one more penny on them. Now they have a license to attack our police officers? Is this the world we created?”
The Big Apple’s “sanctuary city” status, makes it illegal to notify US Immigration and Customs Enforcement about criminal defendants, such as those charged in the Midtown cop-beating.
But the city doesn’t provide sanctuary from prosecution for crimes including: homicide, manslaughter, rape, robbery, aggravated assault and human and sex trafficking, legal experts said.

Several people were caught on camera punching and kicking the officers before running away down 42nd Street. DCPI
“New York City does not provide sanctuary from prosecution from various violent felonies,” said defense attorney Michael Bachner, a former Manhattan prosecutor.
“Assaulting an officer, that is the type of offense that I believe would 100% be subject to deportation,” Bachner said. “The immigration courts, they don’t look kindly on assaulting law enforcement officials.”
Once their case concludes — with either a plea, conviction or charges dropped — an “immigration hold” would typically be placed on them and they would be subject to deportation after serving out their sentence, he added.
“They should then be transported to an immigration facility where they would be subject to immigration court and subject to removal from the country,” Bachner said.
Police busted five men – Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, Jhoan Boada, 22, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — for the Times Square attack.

All of them were arraigned on charges of second-degree assault on a police officer and obstruction of governmental administration — and released without bail.
Three suspects are still being sought, cops said Wednesday.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office acknowledged it did not request bail for the accused cop-beaters, but said prosecutors are still investigating and viewing new video footage of the attack.




A spokesperson for Hochul said her office has communicated with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office about the attack.


“Under existing State law, assaulting a police officer is a bail eligible crime and it’s critical that district attorneys hold offenders accountable,” the Hochul spokesperson told The Post.

Hochul said she believes the lenient bail reform measures passed by Democratic lawmakers in Albany since 2019 are working overall — but is “not satisfied at all” with the handling of the attack.


“That situation is abhorrent to me,” she said.


New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD captain, also condemned the attack — albeit with a more lukewarm response — and called for the accused migrant thugs to be prosecuted.

“The men and women of the NYPD put their lives on the line every single day, working tirelessly to keep us and our streets safe,” a spokesperson for the mayor told The Post.





“Violence — of any kind, and no less against our officers— is unacceptable and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”


More than 170,000 migrants from the US border have flooded the five boroughs since the spring of 2022 seeking asylum, with more than 67,000 still housed in more than 200 city shelters and hotels. Over the past year, a handful have been tied to crimes including rape, murder and pickpocketing.

Migrants behind Times Square cop-beating shoplifted, assaulted store employee moments earlier: police sources​

The migrants who jumped two of the city’s Finest last weekend in Times Square were part of a wolfpack of violent shoplifters who just moments before had snatched handbags in a nearby store and attacked an employee who tried to stop them, the manager told The Post.


“They always come in and take the handbags then they run,” the manager, who asked for anonymity, said of the migrants who hang out in front of the Candler Building shelter on West 42nd Street near Seventh Avenue.


“They do it all the time. It’s just ridiculous.”


She said five or six of the men came into Aldo on Jan. 27 at around 8:30 p.m., swiping handbags that go for as much as $85 each off a table.


She called the cops as one fought the cashier.


“When I came upstairs, she was tussling, trying to get the bag back,” the manager said.


“She got one bag back and the other guys took like two or three other bags.”


When the cops arrived, they recorded the store security video capturing the thieves in action.

“The cop said ‘Alright, I’m gonna look outside to see if I see one of them and if I do, I’m gonna make an arrest,’” she recalled.


“As soon as he was walking outside, everyone just started running. And those Spanish dudes jumped the police officer right there. It was insane.”


That’s when she shut down the store and told the customers to stay put.

“I was standing right there in front of the window,” she said of the now-viral beatdown.


“I was like, ‘Oh my God, look, look, look.’ l couldn’t believe what my eyes just saw.”


She said the same group of guys hang around outside her store everyday.


The same group steals from a nearby Lids store “sometimes multiple times a day,” the manager there said.

“The migrants are going crazy out here,” Harriel Brathwaite Jr. told The Post.


“They act like they’re shopping and they’ll put it in their little bag, they’ll put in with their baby in the strollers,” the 36-year-old said.


“They’ll walk in the door and just scoop a couple of hats and run.”

Times Square has become ground zero of migrant violence and criminal activity. Several local hotels and shelters house thousands of new arrivals — but many of the city’s 165,000 migrants also travel to the Crossroads of the World every day from other corners of the city.


“Why would you stay at a shelter at Floyd Bennett if you can come to Times Square,” a high-ranking law enforcement source said of the tent shelter in the far reaches of Brooklyn.


“It’s only going to get worse when the weather gets better.”


14
She said the same group of guys hang around outside her store every day. Aristide Economopoulos
The seven men arrested so far in the Saturday beatdown of the cop and NYPD lieutenant were from shelters in other boroughs, according to the NYPD. Police are seeking six more suspects.


Of those arrested, four — Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — have reportedly left for California after making up a story and securing bus fare from a church group, a police official said.


Also arrested were Jhoan Boada, 22, Yohenry Brito, 24, and Jandry Barros, 21, cops said. All were listed by police as either homeless or living at migrant shelters.

Authorities are now looking into whether the beatdown suspects are connected to five citywide grand larceny and robbery trends, law enforcement sources told The Post — and whether any of the Times Square perps are linked to a Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, which has been described by Interpol as that country’s “most powerful homegrown criminal actor.”


Tren de Aragua started in the Tocorón prison in the state of Aragua, according to InSight Crime, an online crime website. The group’s name, which roughly translates to the Aragua Train, may have originated from a labor union working on a railway project through the state that was never finished, according to the site.


Tren de Aragua is also considered the only Venezuelan gang that “has successfully projected its power abroad,” Interpol noted.

One 19-year-old Times Square suspect, whom ex-NYPD official John Miller said on CNN once faced 10 charges in a day, may also be linked to the gang, Miller said.


“So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money, and then come back. And I’m, like, ‘Well, why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?” Miller said. “[The detectives] said, ‘Because there you go to jail.’”


The migrants are a “huge headache,” said a security guard outside the nearby theater where the Broadway musical Aladdin plays.

“There are about 30 of them out there [at the 41st Street entrance] at all times,” the guard said of the Candler Building’s rear entrance, noting the men hang out with their bikes.


The cops sometimes chase them away, he said, but it’s a temporary solution.


“They just keep coming back and no one knows what to do about it,” he said. “We’ve seen fights. They’re always out here, smoking, drinking.”

Darwin Andres Gomez was also arrested and charged in the beating of two police officers in Times Square on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024.
Migrants have also allegedly been creating havoc on the subways, with four arrested this week for pickpocketing straphangers, including one woman who was collared eight times in the six months since arriving in New York, sources told The Post.


Crime has shot up in the Midtown South Precinct since the shelter near Seventh Avenue opened, along with the nearby Row Hotel on Eighth Avenue, another high-ranking NYPD source said.


Overall, grand larcenies shot up 20% in the precinct, which covers Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, and Penn Station, so far this year compared to the same period in 2023, and 83% since 2022, public data show.


Petty larceny has jumped 69% since 2022 in the busy precinct, the data shows.

Migrants believed to have fled NYC after NYPD cop-beating can’t be arrested because they were freed without bail

Darwin Andres Gomez, Kelvin Servita Arocha, Wilson Juarez and Yorman Reveron were believed to have skipped town on Wednesday after giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group.

The migrants who may have hopped on a bus to California after being busted in the caught-on-video beatdown of two NYPD cops couldn’t be arrested even if law enforcement tracked them down — because they were already freed without bail.


John Miller, a former top NYPD official and CNN’s chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst pointed out the bail issue in an interview on the network Friday, saying that it’s “stirred a lot of controversy about the criminal justice reform and the assault on the police officers.”


Police believe the group of four — Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — may have skipped town Wednesday after giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of the city, sources previously told The Post.


Miller, the NYPD’s former deputy commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism, said the asylum-seeking suspects boarded a bus headed to Calexico – a California city on the Mexico border – by way of St. Louis, Missouri.

The migrants who may have hopped on a bus to California couldn’t have been arrested in the first place. DCPI
“Now normally, we probably wouldn’t even be talking about this because the US Marshals and detectives would be waiting for them in St. Louis,” Miller said, “but they were released on their own recognizance, which means police have nothing to arrest them on, on the assumption – which they have to operate on – that they’ll be back for their [March 4] court date.”


“The chances of that happening when four people get on a bus with false names and head for the city that literally you can cross the street into the Mexican border is probably unlikely,” he added.


All were charged with second-degree assault on a police officer — which is a bail-eligible offense.


Three — Gomez, Arocha, and Juarez — were released on their own recognizance by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Marisol Martinez Alonso at their arraignments Monday.

The judge put Reveron on supervised release, finding that he could be a flight risk, after prosecutors noted he had two open Manhattan cases, according to a transcript of the hearing. It remains unclear if taking off would be a violation of his court-ordered release.


Warrants could be issued for their arrests if Reveron, Gomez, Arocha, and Juarez don’t make it back for their March 4 hearing in the police beatdown case.


Reveron is also due back in court Feb. 20 on “other pending matters” unrelated to the assault, a spokesman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Friday.


The DA’s office has defended not asking for monetary bail by saying it was still reviewing footage of the Saturday attack near Times Square to determine the extent to which the specific suspects were each involved.

A fifth suspect, Jhoan Boada, 22, on Wednesday, was also released without bail on the same charge.


Yohenry Brito, 24, who was arrested later that night, on Thursday became the first of the suspects in the case to be ordered held on bail by Alonso, who set the amount at $15,000 cash or a $50,000 bond after prosecutors argued he had been identified on footage of the attack through a “distinct tattoo.”


Investigators are probing whether any of the suspects involved in the beatdown are linked to five larger, citywide grand larceny and robbery patterns, law enforcement sources told The Post.


Officials are also investigating – out of an abundance of caution – whether any of the Times Square arrestees are connected to a Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, sources said.


The gang is described in an Interpol report as “Venezuela’s most powerful homegrown criminal actor and the only Venezuelan gang that has successfully projected its power abroad.”

Officers are also investigating whether any of the migrants are connected to a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua. DCPI
They are also probing whether one 19-year-old suspect in the cop beating – who has not yet been arrested – has connections to the gang, the sources said. That teen was once arrested and faced 10 charges in a single day, Miller said.


“So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money, and then come back and I’m, like, ‘Well, why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?” Miller said. “[The detectives] said, because there you go to jail.”


Asked about the bail issue on Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul noted the case was still under investigation, but that she believed the accused attackers should have been held behind bars.


“My number one priority is protecting the people of this state, and any time there is an assault on a police officer, which is a very serious offense, bail should be sought,” she told reporters after the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York Winter Conference.


8
A fifth suspect, Jhoan Boada, 22, was also released without bail on the same charge.
The Democratic governor on Thursday said in no uncertain terms that the migrants allegedly involved in the assault should be deported.


“Get them all and send them back,” Hochul told reporters. “You don’t touch our police officers. You don’t touch anyone.”

NYC launches $53M program to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families

Updated Feb. 2, 2024, 4:22 p.m. ET






Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.


The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.


It’ll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall.


The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.


The Immediate Response Card initiative appears akin to the state’s food stamp program, dubbed SNAP, which provides lower-income New Yorkers with a credit card to cover the cost of meals, and will provide funds based on the same scale.


The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

Hard-up residents of city housing were given the same type of cards last year to pay for holiday dinners.


“MoCaFi looks forward to partnering with New York City to disburse funds for asylum seekers to purchase fresh, hot food,” said MoCaFi CEO and founder Wole Coaxum. “MoCaFi’s goal is to expand access to financial resources for individuals excluded from banking, such as asylum seekers, while helping the local economy.”

At least four migrants were busted this week for pickpocketing straphangers – including one Venezuelan woman who’s been arrested at least eight times in the six months since she arrived to the Big Apple, according to law enforcement sources.
Maria Manaura, 32 — who is being housed at the Row NYC hotel in Times Square — was nabbed Tuesday evening for allegedly snatching a 25–year–old woman’s cell phone on a packed downtown No. 6 train at 42nd Street-Grand Central, sources said.
A day later, Michelle Sequera, 23, also of Venezuela, was busted for allegedly ripping a cell phone out of a woman’s hands on the downtown platform at the Grand Central subway station, police and sources said.
“She has my phone!” the 35-year-old victim yelled as she ran up to cops stationed at the transit hub specifically to deter thieves.
Sequera, who said she lives at the Randall’s Island migrant relief center and has been in the US for three months, was charged with grand larceny, cops and sources said.
Arrested alongside her on the same charge was Adonis Chala, 34, for allegedly preventing the victim from chasing the alleged thief, sources said.
3
Oscar Tarazona was charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property at Bosco on Bleeker, Wicked Willy’s and the Red Lion.
Chala came to the US eight months ago from Ecuador and helped bring Sequera after meeting her online, according to the sources. His address is listed as a humanitarian relief center in Brooklyn.
Also on Wednesday Gabriel Maraima, 22, — a migrant from Venezuela who has been staying at the Hotel Mint JFK Airport — was busted for allegedly snatching a woman’s credit card at the same station on Saturday and making an unauthorized charge, cops and sources said.
Police stopped him for entering the station through the emergency exit without paying the fare, according to cops and sources. He was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property as well as a rap for fare-beating, sources said.
Manaura, meanwhile, was charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, jostling and resisting arrest.
3
Sebastian Baez was also charged for targeting West Village bar patrons last week.
She was arraigned Thursday on the first two charges in addition to petit larceny – and granted supervised release by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Jay Weiner.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office had requested Manaura be held on $10,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond, citing her past arrests, including for “a nearly identical incident” from Dec. 1 in which she allegedly stole a woman’s phone, debit card and wallet out of her coat pocket in Bryant Park.
She was released on her own recognizance in that case.
In total, she’s been arrested eight times on grand larceny charges, sources said.
“Given the defendant’s unabated criminal conduct, monetary bail is reasonably necessary to ensure she follows court orders and returns to court,” an assistant district attorney said in court.
3
Lina Jacome-Bedoya is the alleged ringleader of the migrant pickpocketing crew targeting West Village bar patrons.
Sources said Manaura and another woman — who has not been arrested — allegedly appeared to be searching for victims on the platform at Grand Central before they boarded the train, surrounded and bumped into the victim before yanking her phone out of her jacket pocket Wednesday.
When the victim got off the train at 14th Street-Union Square, she reported to cops that her phone was gone, the sources said.
Officers on patrol in the station witnessed the theft but lost sight of Manaura in the crowd, sources said.
Cops spread out on separate lines to hunt for Manaura – and managed to find her within about 40 minutes of the theft on an F train at West 4th Street, according to the sources.
She threw the phone on the ground and struggled with cops, but was ultimately arrested, authorities said.



The arrests come after the NYPD nabbed a migrant pickpocketing crew accused of targeting West Village bar patrons last week.


Oscar Tarazona, Sebastian Baez and alleged ringleader Lina Jacome-Bedoya, all migrants from Colombia, were charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property at Bosco on Bleeker, Wicked Willy’s and the Red Lion between 1:30 and 2 a.m. Saturda

Several migrants were nabbed in Arizona Monday by federal authorities who are investigating if they are members of the same group who fled New York City following their arrests in the caught-on-camera beatdown of two NYPD cops, sources said.


The migrants were picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a Greyhound bus station in Phoenix, according to law enforcement sources and a Fox News report.


ICE agents are working to determine if the migrants are any of the four men suspected to have hopped on a bus bound for California last Wednesday after they were freed without bail in the Jan. 28 attack near Times Square, according to law enforcement sources.


Investigators believe the four — Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — gave phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of New York City, sources previously told The Post.

ICE agents were notified that the names of the migrants arrested Monday resembled those of the four men who fled the Big Apple — though it’s unclear if similarities applied to the aliases or their real identities, according to sources.


The migrants on Monday were arrested on immigration warrants, sources said.


John Miller, the NYPD’s former deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism, said last week the group likely boarded a bus heading to Calexico, a California city near the Mexican border, by way of St. Louis, Missouri.

But local police could do little to catch the alleged state-trotting cop assaulters, since they were released on their own recognizance following their arraignments.


“Police have nothing to arrest them on, on the assumption — which they have to operate on — that they’ll be back for their court date,” Miller told CNN.


The former NYPD official had little faith the suspects would return to the Big Apple for their March 4 court date as they each face second-degree assault on a police officer — a bail-eligible offense.


“The chances of that happening when four people get on a bus with false names and head for the city that literally you can cross the street into the Mexican border is probably unlikely,” Miller said.


If the men don’t show up to their scheduled day in court, warrants could be issued for their arrests.


Three other men were also arrested for the NYPD attack. One was ordered held on bail — $15,000 cash or $50,000 bond — after prosecutors argued he could be identified in the footage of the assault by a “distinct tattoo.”




The high-profile case has reignited debate over what constitutes a bail-eligible offense and has prompted calls for the suspects’ deportations.


“Our criminal system is upside down,” PBA president Patrick Hendry said in a statement. “What message does it send to every New York City police officer, who is on the streets of the city of New York every single day risking their lives to protect New Yorkers? If we’re not protected, how are we going to protect the people in the neighborhoods?”


Gov. Kathy Hochul said she believed the accused attackers should have been held behind bars when asked about the bail issue Friday.


“Any time there is an assault on a police officer, which is a very serious offense, bail should be sought,” she told reporters after the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York Winter Conference.


A day earlier, the Democratic governor said the suspects should be deported.


“Get them all and send them back,” Hochul told reporters. “You don’t touch our police officers. You don’t touch anyone.”

ICE blames NYC refusing to cooperate with feds for release of cop-beating migrants​

Lefty-leaning New York laws that ban cooperation with federal immigration officials are partly to blame for ICE being powerless to stop the migrants accused of jumping two NYPD cops from skipping town, officials griped Monday.


Kenneth Genalo, the director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Big Apple field office, ripped the sanctuary policy that prevents the city from adhering to “detainers” — a system that calls for the feds to be notified by local law enforcement when non-citizens are arrested on criminal charges.



“We want to help. The problem is, due to city policies and state law, cooperation is no longer afforded between NYPD and ICE,” Genalo said at a press conference alongside a bipartisan group of local pols.


“There’s hundreds of people a week that are being arrested throughout the city and we can’t determine which are the most violent.”


Genalo spoke out as the local lawmakers — led by US Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island) — urged Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council to reverse the current laws and policies so migrants accused of crimes can be easily deported.

Their appeal comes off the back of six migrants being charged over the beatdown of two NYPD officers near Times Square on Jan. 27. Five of them were slapped with assault and obstructing governmental administration charges last week and released without bail — with at least four of them allegedly then high-tailing it out of the city.


Genalo said the current laws that limit the NYPD’s cooperation with the feds — including adhering to the detainer system — meant he and other immigration officials only found out about the recent ordeal through media reports.


“Unfortunately, a lot of the way that we have to do our intelligence at ICE is the same way that you find out about cases — it’s through the media. We’re no longer called [by the NYPD],” the ICE official said.


Then-Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill into law in 2014 that barred the NYPD from working with federal immigration officials when they are seeking to boot dangerous migrants from the US.


Then, in 2018, he took it a step further by issuing citywide guidance and new NYPD protocols to codify the Big Apple’s policy of not cooperating with the feds’ immigration enforcement activities.

“We used to have a unit that sat in Riker’s Island that worked hand-in-hand with NYPD. The prior administration at the time kicked the unit out of Riker’s Island so we no longer have a presence there,” Genalo said.


“Basically anyone that was foreign-born was vetted by my staff, the immigration officers, to determine whether or not they were amenable to removal proceedings. If they were, we took custody of them and we placed them in removal proceedings.”

​

With cops not having to honor the detainers’ system due to the local laws — coupled with the Big Apple’s bail reform legislation — Genalo said immigration officials often have to waste time hunting down arrested asylum-seekers to weigh if they should be booted out.


“Once they’re back in the community, we have to then go look for them,” he said of the migrants released without bail in the Times Square cop-beatdown.

“Instead of being able to take custody of these individuals in the confines of a jail or in the confines of a precinct, we now have to go out into the community and the streets where unfortunately the criminals have the upper hand,” he said.






Malliotakis, too, ripped the city for not honoring ICE’s detainer requests.


“This past fiscal year, ICE issued 109 detainer requests for individuals who are dangerous, that committed crimes in our city, and zero have been honored by the City of New York. The previous fiscal year, ’22, 157 detainer requests, and again, zero were honored by the City of New York,” the congresswoman said.


“And the number of detainer requests have gone down significantly under the Biden administration. At the end of the Trump administration, in the fiscal year ’21, there were 1485 detainer requests. And again, zero were honored by the City of New York.”


Gov. Kathy Hochul, has called on the alleged cop-beating migrants to be rounded up and deported.


Mayor Eric Adams, meanwhile, insisted Monday his hands were tied under the current legislation.





“I cannot use city resources based on the existing law. It is a question that should be presented to the council how do they want to move forward on this issue,” Hizzoner said at an unrelated press conference.


“This bill was passed by the city council. I know my role and I share with the office what my views are and use my power either to veto or whatever actions are to support bills, but this is a city council bill that was passed.”

Two men were busted in the Bronx as part of a moped-riding migrant crew that has been snatching cellphones right out of New Yorkers’ hands in daring bursts of street crime — and police sources say they’ve already flipped on the group’s ringleader.


The two suspects, Cleyber Andrade, 19, and Juan Uzcatgui, 23, are allegedly part of a wider ring whose members are connected to 62 different instances of grand larceny throughout the Big Apple — including a shocking, caught-on-video heist in which a 62-year-old woman was brutally dragged down a Brooklyn street, police sources told The Post.


Cops are still searching for the ringleader, a Venezuelan migrant named Victor Parra, 30, of the Bronx, who was cut loose by a judge in December after getting picked up for grand larceny, sources said.


At a Monday press conference, NYPD Inspector Nicholas Fiore said Parra has convinced others to “go do his dirty work to grab phones and stuff.”


“He’s the big target,” Fiore said in a video posted to X. “He’s caused a lot of problems in New York City. And hopefully we’ll grab him, we get some headway on this.”

The NYPD outlined the gang’s vicious tactics in a video clip posted online, which showed a moped-borne robber dragging Irina Panteleeva, 62, across the pavement in front of Bay Gourmet Deli Juice Bar on Sheepshead Bay Road just three days after Christmas.


The thieves made off with Panteleeva’s bag, keys, phone, credit cards, and glasses — all while she careened through the air and slammed into a metal bike rack.


“I feel bad, I feel bad,” Panteleeva told The Post over the phone. “The thieves stole my bag.”


Nesat Mamudoski, 69, her building super, told The Post that the bruised and battered victim was terrified after the attack and had him change her apartment lock.

“She’s a nice lady, a good person,” Mamudoski said of Panteleeva, labeling her attackers “scumbags.”


“I came here 44 years ago from Yugoslavia and I had respect for the USA,” he said. “Not like these thieves.”


Authorities hoped to arrest the ringleader Monday after Andrade and Uzcatgui gave him up, sources said.


Cops have also identified six other people connected to the ring: Yan Jimenez, 25, of Manhattan; Anthony Ramos, 21, of Manhattan; Richard Saledo, 21, of the Bronx; Beike Jimenez, 21, of the Bronx; Maria Manaura, 32, of Manhattan; and Samuel Castro, 27, of Queens, according to sources.

All have previous grand larceny arrests for criminal activity that sources say is related to the conspiracy, which has been terrorizing the city since about mid-November.


But they’re all free without bail ahead of their impending court dates, sources said.


At a separate press conference at One Police Plaza on Monday, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said the alleged suspects are part of a “sophisticated criminal enterprise” made up of recently arrived immigrants.


Parra, who cops said entered the US in 2023, would send specific orders to henchmen in his 14-member crew detailing the kind of phone he was looking for.

“Parra will blast out a message via WhatsApp that he is looking for phones,” Kenny said. “And then the text will say, ‘I have money, I’m available, go get ’em.’”


Scooter drivers make $100 a day, and the actual phone snatcher could make $300 to $600 per stolen device, according to cops.


Once he had the phones in hand, Parra would have a hacker break into financial or banking apps so they could make fraudulent buys, Kenny said.


After they’d cleaned out their victim, Parra would send the phone to buyers in cities like Miami or Houston — or foreign countries like Colombia or Venezuela, police officials said.

“This network of thieves predominantly live in the migrant shelter system,” Kenny said. “They use social media platforms to organize and coordinate this. This is how they operate.”


Although cops have linked 62 incidents across the city to the group, they may have been involved in as many as 150, police officials said.


Cops are still searching for seven people connected to the ring. Three of them are known and wanted, though the other four haven’t been identified yet, officials said.


The NYPD also recovered 22 phones at the Bronx residence they raided this morning, officials said.

NYPD Inspector Nicholas Fiore said the two suspects have already flipped on the crew’s “mastermind,” Victor Parra. NYPD
The suspects have allegedly taken hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of electronics, though cops couldn’t pinpoint the exact amount.


The robbery ring — and others like it — worry law enforcement specifically because the migrants often have multiple aliases and swap identities and birthdays, turning them into so-called “ghost perps” who become very hard to track, sources said.


Andrade and Uzcatgui, who know each other from Colombia, were also arrested on Friday for allegedly committing back-to-back phone snatches on a stolen moped in Lower Manhattan.









Police sources say the two fled from Manhattan over the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, but law enforcement spotted them on the BQE and arrested them afterward in Queens.


During the pursuit, the two dumped a bag that a good Samaritan later turned in at the 114th Precinct. Sources say it had three cell phones in it — two belonging to their victims and one belonging to one of the suspects.


At some point after the arrest, the two gave up information that helped secure Monday’s warrant, which was ostensibly meant to snag Parra.

Police say they hope to arrest Parra soon. NYPD
Both men were charged individually Saturday with grand larceny for stealing a moped, resisting arrest, and stolen property offenses.


“We want to be extremely clear,” Mayor Eric Adams said at the press conference. “It doesn’t matter if a person is a migrant, an asylum seeker or the person is a long-term New Yorker — you break the law, you will be investigated and it will be handled by our criminal justice system.


“You should not be allowed to walk the streets of the city of New York if you are committing any form of criminal behavior that’s impacting the quality of life of New Yorkers,” he continued.


“These people do not have a license to steal in our city.”

A man with a distinctive neck tattoo that was part of the migrant mob attack on two cops in Times Square was indicted Tuesday — the same day he pleaded not guilty to a pair of unrelated low-level charges.


A grand jury handed down an indictment for Yohenry Brito, 24, in the shocking caught-on-video attack, but the charges remained under seal as of Tuesday, a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said.


The indictment came hours after Brito had been led into New York Criminal Court in shackles to answer two misdemeanor charges related to shoplifting.


His neck tattoo, which peaked out from the top of his khaki shirt during the minutes-long hearing, was what prosecutors had focused on last week when they asked a judge to hold Brito on bail.


On Tuesday, Brito kept his head down as he walked in and out of the courtroom.


Outside, attorney Mark Jankowitz told The Post that his client denies the misdemeanor charges.


“He’s procedurally entering a plea of not guilty, and he’s pleading not guilty to all the charges at this time,” Jankowitz said.


Brito — who has been held on Rikers Island since his arrest — will again appear in court to answer the misdemeanor charges on April 3.

He will also appear March 25 in New York Supreme Court to be arraigned on the charges in his sealed indictment, the DA’s office said.


On Tuesday, PBA President Patrick Hendry said the indictment was “just one small step towards justice for our injured brothers.”


“It might never have happened without the outcry from New Yorkers who are fed up with a justice system that keeps failing to protect both police officers and the public,” Hendry said in a statement.

“Too many of the participants in this vicious attack are still roaming free,” he continued. “We are once again urging all New Yorkers: Keep speaking up until they are all behind bars where they belong.”


Brito was the only suspect tied to the melee so far that was held on bail.


Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Marisol Martinez Alons set the amount at $15,000 cash or $50,000 bond last week after prosecutors said they’d identified Brito’s tattoo.

But the other suspects — Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — were cut loose after their arraignments.


Authorities think they skipped town shortly afterward by giving fake names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of the city, sources previously told The Post.

Here’s the latest NYP coverage on the cop beatings by migrants in Times Square:​

• Cops allegedly beaten by rowdy migrant mob near Times Square — with suspects later freed without bail
• Migrants arrested by ICE agents in Phoenix might be suspects in NYPD cop-beating who fled NYC
• Cop-beating migrants who fled to California may have bought cars and pools with stolen phones
• Hochul steps up call to deport migrant mob busted in cop-beating caught on video

The court could put out warrants for the four if they don’t get back to New York in time for their March 4 hearing.


The men were part of a mob of migrants who allegedly went after an NYPD officer and lieutenant at about 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 on West 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan.


Footage of the confrontation shows the two cops telling migrants to move along — just before all hell broke loose on the New York City street.

Jhoan Boada is a suspect in the assault.

Yorman Reveron is also a suspect.

Darwin Andres Gomez is also a suspect.
A scuffle broke out between the cops and one of the men just before the pack seized on the officers, raining kicks down on their heads and bodies before taking off down 42nd Street toward Seventh Avenue, the video showed.


Bragg’s office has defended not asking for monetary bail by saying it was still reviewing footage of the beating to determine each suspect’s level of involvement in the fight.


Another man, Carlos Durante, was arrested Monday outside Manhattan Criminal Court in connection with the assaults, Chief of Detective Joseph Kenny told The Post.


But he’s only been charged with grand larceny and other crimes because authorities don’t see him actively attacking the cops in the footage, Kenny said.





Last week, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters that the attackers should be deported.


“Get them all and send them back,” Hochul told reporters. “You don’t touch our police officers. You don’t touch anyone.”

One of the migrants allegedly involved in a mob assault on a pair of cops in Times Square has been arrested again — this time for participating in a coordinated robbery of a Macy’s store in Queens.


Darwin Andres "Monkey Face" Gomez-Izquiel, 19, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with robbery and petit larceny, police announced.


He is one of four people charged for allegedly entering the Queens Center Mall around 5:33 p.m. Tuesday and “acting in concert” to steal clothes that they tried to hide in bags.


When a 27-year-old security guard confronted the group, they “struggled,” police said, and one of the suspects punched him in the face.


The security guard suffered minor injuries as a result, but refused medical attention at the scene.


Gomez-Izquiel was previously charged with second-degree assault on a police officer and obstructing governmental administration for the caught-on-camera Times Square attack at the end of January.

Video showed Gomez-Izquiel with a gang of other asylum seekers kicking the pair of New York’s Finest in the head and body before running away.


The others accused in Tuesday’s alleged robbery were last seen fleeing westbound on Queens Boulevard with about $608 worth of assorted clothing.


One of the suspects is described as approximately 5 feet 8 with a tan complexion and a thin build. He was last seen wearing a multicolored baseball cap, blue jacket, gray jeans and black sneakers with a black bag.
