NEW YORK CITY, NY - On Monday, July 29th, one of several illegal immigrants accused of assaulting two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers earlier this year has accepted a plea deal.
According to Fox News, under the terms of the plea deal offered by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the suspect, 19-year-old Darwin Gomez-Izquiel will spend one day shy of a year in jail. The other illegal immigrants involved, 24-year-old Yohenry Brito and 21-year-old Ulises Bohorquez were also offered plea deals to serve one year in jail.
The plea deals were accepted in exchange for the suspects pleading guilty to second-degree assault. As reported by the New York Post, the initial incident happened back on January 27th in Times Square. Gomez-Izquiel, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela has had his sentencing court date set for September 5th.
Gomez-Izquiel was caught on camera grabbing one officer and kicking another during the altercation that took place outside of a migrant shelter at West 42nd Street near Seventh Avenue. Authorities said that he was initially released without bail and then re-arrested two weeks later for a violent robbery at a Macy's outlet in Queens. In that incident, he allegedly acted as the lookout while one of his co-defendants punched a store security guard.
He was charged with robbery and petit larceny in that case, which according to the Queens District Attorney's Office has been sealed. Prior to the Times Square incident, Gomez-Izquiel had been illegally in the United States for about five months. He was the second defendant to admit to his role in the attack after being offered the plea deal.
The first suspect, 19-year-old Kelvin Servita Arocha, pleaded guilty to obstructing governmental administration on June 18th for kicking a cop's radio during the incident. In addition to Arocha, Gomez-Izquiel, Brito, and Bohorquez, there are three other suspects whose cases remain pending and they have been identified as Wilson Juarez, Yormen Reveron, and Edgarlis Vegas. Reveron had two pending cases for assault and robbery prior to this incident.
In a statement, Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said that Gomez-Izquiel should spend more time in jail after admitting to the assault. Hendry said, "The sentence should absolutely be longer, but we're glad that this individual is pleading guilty to a felony and will continue serving time for this brazen attack on our brothers. However, the important test will come once his sentence is up. He needs to be deported immediately upon release, without setting another foot on our city streets."
According to the New York Post, Juarez and Arocha are alleged members of the notorious Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua and are both the subjects of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers. Brito, who was remanded after his initial arrest from the Times Square incident, was re-arrested for petit larceny shortly after because he was on the streets again thanks to a Brooklyn priest who allegedly posted his $15,000 cash bail back in February.

---They that come into our country illegally, are not illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants, or “immigrants” of any type. They are by U.S. law “aliens”, illegally in the country. To name them “immigrants” is to confer on them a quasi-legal status that they have neither earned, deserve, or is allowed in U.S. law. Stop using the leftist, open border, propaganda terms.
