Mora entered the country illegally through Arizona in 2023 and had two prior arrests for domestic violence in New York. He was wanted in New York to face accusations of robbery and felony assault, and in Massachusetts over a stolen weapons case, Tisch said.

Mora’s criminal history includes charges for assault on a pregnant woman and a stabbing charge in January, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told CNN. Mora was wanted for robbing a pawn shop in Massachusetts where guns were stolen, and authorities are looking into whether the semi-automatic weapon used in the attack over the weekend is from the pawn shop, the officials said.

Blame is rightly placed. These guys should have been handed over to ICE and deported years ago. Off to El Salvador with them!

 
If true, the fact that he was arrested for assault on a pregnant woman and a stabbing charge and still was not put in immigration custody is concerning. I don't want criminals on my streets. Just another glaring issue with immigration that never seems to get resolved.

No but if you are not even supposed to be here legally, why should you be let back on the streets to continue to commit crimes? It's not like it was a one time thing, this guy has had multiple arrests and assaults. Would you want him released in your neighborhood?

Correct. More than that, it is evident that this is not a one-off sort of thing. From various news reports it is clear that certain criminal elements are using and abusing so-called "Sanctuary Cities and States" polices of catch-and-release and/or ignoring migrant crimes completely.

What's even worse is that Sanctuary cities and States are giving public funds to provide free housing, food, spending money, and other services while American taxpayers are being assaulted, robbed, raped, and otherwise suffering with no recourse.

Makes me wonder who is really supporting this destructive form of "tolerance," and why.

It's getting resolved now. You may not care for the one that is heading this effort to get these POS out of this country, but damn it he is getting it done.
 
Democrats/liberals protect criminals - that's just a plain fact and if US citizens are assaulted, raped, murdered .,..... if the cities spent hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars .....

that's ok, that's what Democrat/liberals want

look at the tens of thousands Trump has gotten deported .... all lived here care free under Biden and in Democrat ran cities

Doesn't matter. People who are arrested for violent crimes should not get bail. The percentage of people arrested for those crimes that are innocent is negligible. I would rather not risk violent people being out on the street and a risk to the public. We see this WAY too often.

Even if ICE did place an immigration hold, NYC would probably not have honored it because that is how it works in Sanctuary cities/states. They don't honor immigration holds for illegals arrested for crimes. And when you add New York's Bail "reform" laws.....

That's a problem for criminals in general in NYC.

A man who violently assaults people should not be in a revolving door prison system regardless of his citizenship status.

“He was arrested four different times in New York City, and because of the mayor’s policies and sanctuary city policies, was released back to do harm to people and to individuals living in this city,” she said.

I agree with her on this.

Why? NYC does not have a special "Violent Illegal Immigrants get to go back out onto the streets" Law. It is because of their stupid bail reform laws.

If they weren't a sanctuary city, ICE would have been notified the first time he was arrested and held.

And? If a state has a revolving door bail system, ICE may not have gotten to him on time.

Well then that would be on ICE. If they can't get to them in the 48 extra hold hours, they can't blame anyone but themselves.

Im not sure why there isnt 100% agreement on this. I get the idea that hard working, non violent immigrants should have a pathway to stay here and thats something we can debate. But that is not these two. And its obvious that this isnt the first time they rode up and robbed people at gunpoint. Regardless of their race, color or nationality, these guys needed to be off the streets long ago and it is a massive failure of government that they were not.

It's pretty clear. Turning him over to ICE rather than releasing him multiple times after arrests for violent crimes. He had a detainer, and NYC policy is to ignore it.
