An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a former New York City Council employee federal officials said in January was an undocumented immigrant with a prior assault arrest.
City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced the deportation ruling on Wednesday, condemning it as a "miscarriage of justice and wholly deplorable" and pledging to fight back by filing an appeal.
Two months ago, Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, 53, was detained during an immigration appointment and was identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a Venezuelan "criminal illegal alien" who overstayed his visa.
Federal officials said despite having no work authorization, Rubio Bohorquez was employed by the New York City council as a data analyst for roughly one year.
Local officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Menin, strongly disputed DHS claims, stressing that Rubio Bohorquez had legal authorization to remain in the U.S., including the right to work.
"Today, Judge Conroy ordered the removal of Rafael Rubio, our City Council employee, from the United States," Menin said. "We are outraged and will continue to pursue every legal avenue to secure his release and ensure his case is properly heard on appeal."
"This is an affront to justice," Mamdani added in a post on X. "A dedicated public servant with legal authorization to remain in the country, Rafael showed up for a routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules, he was detained and has now been held for months."

Mamdani is an affront to justice.
Democrats love illegals, criminals and sexual weirdos... we all know why too.
“...routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules...”
Typical illegal’s lie, if one followed all the rules they wouldn’t be in the country.
I don’t understand the argument from the NYC Council and Mayor. According to the article at FoxNews, he arrived on a B2 visa. While you can enter the country multiple times over a 10 year period if you get it extended, you cannot work.
So even if the visa allowed him to be in the country for a full year (it usually maxes out at 180 days per stay), he’s still not authorized to work. Working is a violation and he’s subject to deportation. The City is admitting they broke the law but he should be allowed to stay anyway? Strange…
ManDummy is F’ing liar. And he has no problem with keeping that cool persona while doing so. NY voted for this. Hamas on the Hudson.
“This is an affront to justice,” Mamdani added.
it;’s what Mamdnai intends every move he makes.
ISLAMamdani taqiyya.
Demoncrats side with like minded inndividuals, who are criminals and perverts.
“The City is admitting they broke the law but he should be allowed to stay anyway? Strange…”
So which city employee or employees are going to jail over it?
Kick this ILLEGAL out! Whop cares about the sob story?
It’s time to send ICE to roundup and deport New Yawk “city leaders.” Too many people are voting in this country who don’t have the intelligence and mentality to handle voting.
This is fortunate timing for the illegal. Bohorquez was intelligent enough to hold a city job and he will now receive a free ride back to a much safer, improved Venezuela.

This is fortunate timing for the illegal. Bohorquez was intelligent enough to hold a city job and he will now receive a free ride back to a much safer, improved Venezuela. With a government pension, I presume.
