Just as everyone knew without being told, the violent gang of Venezuelan squatters that New York City cops drove out of a basement apartment in the Bronx had been released at the border in 2022 and 2023, pursuant to President Joe Biden’s illegal parole policies.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confirmed that U.S. border agents had the gun-wielding thugs in custody at the border, but then freed them to commit crimes anywhere they wished. Four of them skipped required appointments with immigration authorities.
So Biden is responsible for yet more crimes committed by the people that Democrats “care about most”: illegal aliens.
Arrested and Released in New York, Too
The latest tale of Biden-backed illegal-alien crime began when the cops were called to the apartment after a report that a man was pointing a gun at another man. When officers arrived, they collared Hector De Sousa-Villalta, 24, who brandished a 9 mm CZ pistol, the New York Post reported.
But they also bagged another gun-toting Venezuelan, Javier Alborno, 22, who “tried to sneak out of the same basement,” the Post reported:
Authorities searched the apartment and found two more guns — including one so-called “ghost gun” — as well as three extended magazines, a box of ammunition, a bag of ketamine and a bag of ketamine mixed with cocaine. …
There was also a 7-year-old child inside, although it’s not clear who the parents were.
Out of the eight South Americans goons in custody at the end of the day, six were released, the Post reported.
De Sousa-Villalta and Alborno “are already well-known to authorities,” according to the Post.
“Desousa-Villalta has an open case that dates back to August 2023, when police officials said he shot a fellow immigrant in the leg during an argument over a woman in Yonkers,” the newspaper explained. He walked away scot-free because the victim wouldn’t testify.
A judge ignored Alborno’s gun charge and freed him without bail.
Another of the “migrants,” Miguel Vaamondes-Barrios, “is wanted for retail theft and shoplifting in both Pennsylvania and New York,” the Post continued, and is held on $25,000 bail.
In its second story on the raid, the Post explained that De Sousa-Villalta “was cut loose on supervised release Friday evening … despite the district attorney’s request that [Bronx Criminal Court Judge Eugene D.] Bowen set bail at $150,000 cash or $450,000 bond, according to the DA’s office.”
ICE Confirms What Everyone Knew
Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted a statement from ICE about the border-jumping brigands.
Fugitive Operations Officers from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) team raided 3259 Hull Avenue in the Bronx and arrested three illegals “who are all amenable to removal.” ICE filed detainers on four in city custody, although sanctuary New York City might well release them. One of the eight — Jefferson Orlando Abreau — is still at large.
Details about their release at the border would be unbelievable anywhere but in Biden Clown World.
• Border agents caught Yoessy Pino Castillo on May 6 last year but released her “as an alternative to detention and a condition of parole” because detention facilities were packed to the rafters. “Pino never reported to ERO for processing.”
Already arrested for shoplifting on January 6, New York cops arrested her for these crimes in connection with the squatting case on March 27: “criminal possession of a weapon-second degree: loaded firearm; criminal possession weapon-second degree: loaded firearm on school grounds; criminal possession-controlled substance-5th: intent to sell; and act in manner injure child less than 17.”
Of course the cops released Pino, apprehended by ERO in yesterday’s raid, on her own recognizance.
• Border agents caught Yojairo Armando Martinez on September 22, 2022, but freed him too. He also didn’t report to ERO. ERO arrested him yesterday.
• Border agents collared DeSousa-Villalta on May 3 last year but, again, released him on his own recognizance. Cops in Yonkers arrested him in August 2023 for assault and second-degree murder. That was the case in which the witness refused to testify, and so he skated free.
ERO arrested him in yesterday’s raid.
• Border agents caught Alborno on May 6 last year and released him “as an alternative to detention and a condition of parole” because, again, detention facilities were overcrowded. He too skipped reporting to ERO.
After New York City cops arrested him for petit larceny, he was released to commit more crimes. That June, cops collared him for shoplifting, but he was again released. That September, cops arrested him for “criminal possession of a weapon- 2nd Degree: loaded firearm and unlawful possession certain ammunition feeding devices.”
In January he was arrested again, and yet again released.
Pursuant to last week’s arrest, ICE placed a detainer with the Rikers Island jail.
• Yerbin Benjamin Lozada Munoz was caught at the border on October 3, 2022, then released with the usual excuse: detention facilities were full. Munoz also skipped reporting to ERO. He’s in jail with an immigration detainer
• Border agents caught Johan Jose Cardenas Silva the same day. Stupidly, after a judge ordered him deported, he was freed to disappear. Authorities actually expected him to report to ERO voluntarily. He is in jail with a detainer.
• Barrios is at Rikers Island with a detainer.
Also in custody in an unrelated case is the Venezuelan TikTok “influencer” who told illegals in viral videos to squat on whatever properties they wished. Leonel Moreno, the Post revealed, is under investigation for gun crimes. Last week, authorities arrested him in Ohio for failing to appear at required appointments with immigration officials.
He too was promptly released after jumping the border in 2022.
