Darwin Award news 🛠🔧🤕

NEW: ICE NYC has arrested one of the Venezuelan illegal aliens who was convicted in the viral beating of two NYPD officers in Times Square. Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel was caught & released at the TX border last October before being arrested by NYPD in January for the attack. ICE NYC arrested him after his release from Rikers last Thursday. ICE says the NYC Department of Corrections honored their detainer request, a significant thing given the city’s sanctuary status.
He remains in ICE custody.

ICE statement:

“Gomez-Izquiel is a criminal and threat to the public servants, residents and businesses of New York City,” said ICE New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo. “We will not allow our communities to become safe havens for noncitizens who refuse to abide our laws. ICE New York City will continue to work with unending determination to apprehend and remove these violent criminal offenders.”
