In a shocking display of undeserved leniency, three illegal aliens from El Salvador were arrested on Long Island after police discovered two Molotov cocktails and a gasoline canister in their car during a routine traffic stop on Tuesday, but they have since been set free without bail.Despite the clear threat, the illegal aliens were released due to New York’s absurd bail reform laws, which prohibit holding suspects on certain charges.Elvis Osvaldo Romero Martinez, 20, Albert Yanes Moran, 20, and Lorenzo Nohely Alvarado Navarrete, 18, were pulled over around 1:38 a.m. on March 10 in Brentwood, Suffolk County.Officers noticed Martinez jumping from the driver’s seat to the back, where the incendiary devices were found in the door pocket, alongside gasoline in the trunk.The trio was all charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, but under state law, the judge couldn’t set bail or detain them pending trial.WATCH: BREAKING UPDATE: Three illegal Salvadoran nationals caught with Molotov cocktails in NYC were RELEASED due to the state’s lenient criminal justice laws, which prohibit bail for certain crimes and prevent their transfer to ICE.People who aren’t supposed to be here and… pic.twitter.com/QLAIkMRDmb— I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) March 15, 2026New York’s bail reform, first enacted in 2019 and tweaked since, eliminates cash bail for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies, including this charge.Suffolk County DA Raymond Tierney slammed the “unworkable bail laws,” saying they forced the release despite the clear dangers.Local police unions echoed the outrage, with the Suffolk PBA calling it “Molotov Madness” and warning of potential carnage averted only by the stop.

Our officers did a phenomenal job stopping what could have been a tragedy and New York State just let them go. Must we wait till they set someone or something on fire to hold them?
