New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who’s received staunch criticism from her Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin for refusing to repeal cashless bail, intervened in the case upon learning of Bui's release, instructing corrections officials to expedite an investigation into whether he violated terms of parole.
Bui, who is again being held at New York City’s notorious Rikers Island prison complex, is expected in court for a violation of parole hearing at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
