In a blockbuster front-page story for Tuesday’s print edition, Larry Celona, Marie Pohl, Carl Campanile, Kevin Sheehan, and Chris Nesi of the indefatigable New York Post revealed that illegal immigration has overwhelmed far-left New York City with illegals looking to inflict chaos on our country sources told them “a staggering estimate that” illegal immigrants constitute “as many as 75%” of those “arrest[ed] in Midtown Manhattan”.
The five reporters explained the arrests included charges for violent crimes like “assault, robbery, and domestic violence”. Over in Queens, their sources told them the percentage of arrests involving illegals are “more than 60%”.
They added these figures are “far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged” and, not surprisingly, “Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.”
“The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders,” they continued.
Crucially, they also had sources tell them that “word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back onto the street quickly after they’re nabbed.”
Here were just three examples from their article:
Jefferson Maldenado, a 31-year-old migrant from Ecuador, has been arrested in New York City five times since arriving in the US earlier this year.
His latest bust was for stealing a pair of pants and a beer from the Target near Herald Square.

Venezuelan migrant Yurlex Daniel Guzman Quintero was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Aug. 28, accused of a deplorable act of sexual abuse against his girlfriend in which he viciously choked her and held a knife to her head. Court documents allege it all happened in front of her child.
The same day, migrant Dionisio Moran Flores was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for allegedly raping his 5-year-old daughter. He was ordered held on $150,000 bail.
