ICE - NYC says a confirmed Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang member who was caught & released at the TX border in September 2022 was repeatedly protected by sanctuary policies & released from local custody after being arrested on gun charges in NYC this year.
ICE says Javier Jose Albornoz Marchan, a 22-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, was arrested for shoplifting in Woodbridge in January. ICE placed a detainer on him two days later, but says the Middlesex County Jail in NJ ignore it and released him the same day.
In March, NYPD arrested him for more serious crimes: criminal possession of a weapon - loaded firearm, loaded firearm on school grounds, criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to to sell, and acting in a manner to injure a child.
ICE says they placed a detainer on him with Rikers Island in April, and after he was convicted of the crimes last month, making him a convicted felon, Rikers Island released him into the community, ignoring ICE’s detainer & not notifying ICE of the release.
ICE NYC says the FBI notified them last Friday about threats Albornoz had made to law enforcement, and requested help with apprehending him.
Albornoz was found & arrested by ICE the very next day (last Saturday) on Staten Island. He remains in federal custody.
ICE NYC is blasting sanctuary sanctuary policies in a statement about this case:
“Sanctuary jurisdictions undermine public safety and put our communities at unnecessary risk,” said ICE New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo. “New York City and state leaders should reevaluate the policies that prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE. It is unconscionable this felon was running free in New York for the last three weeks when he could have immediately been apprehended upon release from local custody.”

This can be put on the shoulders of the Harris/Biden administration.
The most irritating thing about these released alien criminals is that they prey upon regular folks in the general population. I wish there was a way to let them know I promise to be a full-on “not guilty” in any case against them, provided their victim was an elected democrat or permissive judge (or a member of their families). I’m pretty sure if government “progressives” were the primary victims, this issue would sort itself out very quickly.
I despise this administration.
Repeatedly protected by sanctuary policies & released.
Remember you are your first responder maybe the only one?.
Any time you think this government can’t get any stupider they prove you wrong.
Victor Davis Hanson always says that conservative states should use this nullification against things they don’t like such as gun laws. Don’t like having to show ID to buy a gun? Too bad. We are nullifying that law.
