In New York, a freed immigrant criminal killed a 92-year-old woman, the feds blame Bill de Blasio

Reaz Khan, 21, is an illegal immigrant from Guyana. He was arrested for assaulting his own father. But later he was released without bail. Upon his release, Reaz raped and then killed an elderly woman. How the mayor of the city, Bill de Blasio, is related to this case, the newspaper writes Daily Wire.

Deadly Choice

On January 14, 2020, a federal official accused New York Mayor Bill de Blasio of having an “asylum policy” that led to the release of an immigrant after his arrest due to an armed attack, after which he killed a 92-year-old woman from Queens.

Thomas Decker, head of the New York Office of Law Enforcement and Expulsion Operations for the US Immigration and Customs, said: “The position of New York is dangerously inferior. It was a deadly choice: to let the person detained by the ICE go back to the street after his first arrest due to assault and possession of weapons. And now new charges have been brought against him, including murder. ”

He noted that the city’s policy regarding criminals continues to threaten the safety of residents of all five districts. And that New York has repeatedly defended foreign criminals who "do not show special attention to the laws of this nation."

In New York alone, hundreds of prisoners are released monthly with pending charges and / or sentences. They return to the streets of the city, where they commit new crimes. “Obviously, politicians care more about criminal illegal aliens than about the citizens they are elected to serve and whom they protect,” the source notes.

What happened

As reported by The New York Post, on November 27, 21-year-old Reaz Khan - an illegal immigrant from Guyana - was arrested for cutting his father with a broken ceramic mug. This prompted ICE to file a motion to arrest him.

Khan’s attack on his father was classified as a misdemeanor - in US criminal law, this is the category of least dangerous crimes bordering administrative offenses. He was charged with assault and criminal possession of weapons. Then he was released without bail.

Already on January 10, Khan was arrested for sexual violence and the murder of 92-year-old Maria Fuertes. A woman was found on the sidewalk of Richmond Hill early in the morning of January 6. The Post noted that “Fuertes was found on the street, where she spent about two hours at a temperature of about 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), after being sexually assaulted and strangled, law enforcement sources said."

Khan was charged with murder, forced coercion, and sexual abuse of a man who was unable to give his consent.

The Post added that before he was charged with the murder, Khan told the police that he was trying to help Fuertes, but “fell next to him, his belt was broken, his pants fell,” and there was a rape.

How ICE Works

“City law and detainees policy dictates that officials turn over to ICE only those convicted of violent and serious crimes and only when, in the opinion of the city official, ICE has complied with the law and due process. ", - noted the edition of The New York Times.

New York City Police said they hadn’t received information from the ICE about the detention of Khan, but ICE spokeswoman Rachael Yong Yow provided a fax confirming that she had received a request for a detainee sent to the central New York Police Reservations Department in Queens at 7:41 am on November 27th.

Recall that earlier Acting Director of ICE Matthew Albans told how the unprecedented crisis at the border has affected almost all areas of ICE. According to him, in fiscal 2019, ICE employees arrested approximately 143 foreigners and expelled more than 000 people from the country.

Although the number of people detained at the border across the country increased by 68% compared to the previous fiscal year, the total number of arrested foreigners decreased by almost 10% compared to 2018. More than 86% of those arrested had criminal convictions or charges pending.
