He and his family have had deportation orders since 5/8/2025. I’m told that MEJIA BAUTISTA was arrested by NYPD in the Bronx for criminal possession of a weapon on 10/3/2025 and the next day, ICE filed a detainer on him, but the detainer was ignored and he was released from local custody. I’m told he was also arrested by NYPD on 1/7/2025 for criminal possession of stolen property.”“I’m told that DANGELO RAFAEL JEAN CARABALLO, a Dominican national, was arrested by Border Patrol after crossing the border illegally near San Luis, AZ on 2/2/2023, and he was released into the country with a future court date. He has five prior arrests in NYC, but no ICE detainers were filed because he was released from custody so quickly each time.”The post Suspects in Brutal Attack on Off-Duty NYPD Officer Identified as Dominican Illegals Released at Border By Biden Administration appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
