ICE Detains Migrants Involved in NYC Target Robbery and Assault on Officers

Four Venezuelan and Colombian migrants face deportation after being arrested for a robbery and assault on NYPD officers, highlighting ongoing concerns over migrant crimes in New York City.

Four migrants, previously released without bail, were re-arrested by ICE following a robbery at a NYC Target store and an assault on NYPD officers.
The group, consisting of Venezuelan and Colombian nationals, is now facing removal proceedings, with one still detained at Rikers Island.
Incident involved physical altercations with police, including shoving and striking an officer, leading to one officer being hospitalized.
Manhattan Criminal Court's decision to release suspects without bail despite their criminal records has sparked criticism.
This case adds to the broader discussion on the handling of migrant crimes in New York, amid a perceived increase in such incidents.
