A pair of reputed migrant gangbangers were nabbed in a drug raid at a Queens auto shop — only to be cut loose without bail after prosecutors reduced the charges, The Post has learned.
Jose Tamaronis-Caldera, 27, and Richard Garcia, 33, both tied to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, were busted on felony drug and gun charges in a Feb. 5 raid at V&R Auto and Collision in Woodside, along with 54-year-old shop owner Rafael Nieves, according to sources and court records.
But once the case got to court, Queens prosecutors reduced the charges, hitting the migrants with a misdemeanor count of possession of an air gun — which let them walk without bail.
Nieves, who faced the most serious charges, had his drug and gun possession charges knocked down as well, with the new counts not eligible for bail under the state’s controversial criminal justice reforms.
Now all three are back on the streets.
“These are not misguided individuals,” a law enforcement source told The Post. “They’re documented members of a known violent criminal enterprise, a gang who has planted their flag here by entrenching themselves in narcotics, gun and human trafficking — and the best we can do is let them out?
“If we did our jobs with criminals, we wouldn’t have ICE scouring our streets for detainees.”
Tamaronis-Caldera and Garcia crossed the US border illegally in 2023, but were released into the country under former President Joe Biden’s lax border policies, federal immigration sources said.

That’s New York City for you.
Trump has labeled them a terrorist gang. The judge should face repercussions.
It’s just mind-boggling. The judge obviously doesn’t care about the safety of the public.
Can we wall off NY now?
Arrest the judge.
Gonna need to start suing or filing charges against these prosecutors when the criminals they set free on society are picked up again for crimes committed elsewhere.
Charge them as co-conspirators to whatever crimes the perps have committed.
The Trump publicity machine needs to name, shame & blame all these corruptocrats. Loudly.
New York City libtards are PROUD to be libtards and do utterly insane things like releasing dangerous criminals back into society to do even more and worse crimes. They are hopelessly insane.
BTTT
Put a Federal Bounty on them and post their photos everywhere.
