Four migrants in NYC target robbery that left cop injured face likely deportation after being picked up by ICE
NY Post
Four of the migrants arrested for robbing a Manhattan Target — then fighting the cops who tried to step in — were collared Wednesday by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and will likely be deported, according to the federal agency.
ICE also lodged a detainer with the city’s Department of Correction for the still-jailed fifth suspect, Brayan Freites-Macias of Venezuela, an ICE spokesperson said in a statement.
Freites-Macias, 21, is an illegal immigrant who is “amenable to removal from the United States,” the statement said.
He was the only one of the five suspects to be ordered held on bail after cops arrested them for shoplifting from an Upper East Side Target on April 2, according to court records and law enforcement sources.
The other four — Michael Jose Sanchez Mayo, 31, of Venezuela; Henry Omar Zambrano Zapata, 19, of Venezuela; Sebastian Jaramillio Balanta, 22, of Colombia; and Yusneibi Yohana Machado Avila, 23, of Venezuela — were released without bail by the same Manhattan judge.
The four were also here illegally and were arrested “without incident” Wednesday, ICE said.
