New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Two illegal migrants, D’Angelo Caraballo and Sneider Mejia, wanted for slashing an off-duty NYPD detective during a robbery in the Bronx, were arrested in Lynn, Massachusetts, by the US Marshals Service.
- The suspects, both from the Dominican Republic, will be extradited to New York City to face attempted murder charges after attacking Detective Jose Mercedes, who survived seven stab wounds.
- The attack occurred during a daylight robbery attempt where the suspects tried to steal the detective’s gold chain; surveillance footage captured the suspects fleeing the scene on an e-bike.
- Both men entered the U.S. illegally during the Biden administration and had prior arrests in New York but were released due to sanctuary city policies and soft-on-crime laws.
- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized the release of the suspects, attributing it to sanctuary policies that prevent cooperation with ICE despite their criminal histories.
