An illegal immigrant accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in Brooklyn was cut loose thanks to New York’s “sanctuary city” policy and the Brooklyn District Attorney — despite a request by immigration officials that he be detained.
Guatemalan national Miguel Federico Ajqui-Ajtzalam, 20, was arraigned Friday on a 20-count criminal complaint for allegedly raping the girl five times in 2018.
But Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez’s office didn’t ask the judge to set bail, and Criminal Court Judge Hilary Gingold agreed to let him go on supervised release.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement had issued a detainer asking the city to nevertheless keep Ajqui-Ajtzalam in custody because he is in the country illegally, but said the Big Apple did not comply due to its “sanctuary city” status.
ICE finally tracked Ajqui-Ajtzalam down Monday and took him into federal custody, but issued a furious rebuke of the city.
“It’s inconceivable that an individual who was arrested on local charges of rape and sexual abuse of a child would be released back into the community,” Thomas Decker, ICE removal operations director in New York, said in a statement Tuesday.
“It’s frightening that our detainer was ignored and he was released on to New York city streets to possibly re-offend.”

Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez and Criminal Court Judge Hilary Gingold should be arrested and prosecuted as co-defendants in the rape case.
Cause he inherited crooked genes like his uncle :)
He spends MANY HOURS extra reading for ways to legally charge people and hold them.
He’s trying.
He’s not cutting tail and running like a bitch and i’m proud of him
Agreed.
Staten Island is still nice. The south shore at least.
I don’t know how long it will last.
Maybe another 5 to 10 years
De facto, not de jure, unfortunately.
It would be funny if ICE agents in protective gear/masks just returned him to that open court room, sat him down near the judge and just walked away without saying anything.
“Cause he inherited crooked genes like his uncle :)”
Well done.
LOL
“Starting to??”
An illegal in Maryland killed two LEOs in a traffic accident in Maryland. $328 fine and ZERO jail time. His $10,000 costs were paid by some advocacy organization for illegals.
“So why is your nephew willingly participating in a system that knowingly puts the people he is sworn to protect at risk?”
How about if all the good guys leave, then only bad guys remain ...
In reply, I have long despised our political class but now I am starting to hate them with a white hot passion for what they have done to my country and to me and mine. In the past the political class only sought to enrich themselves but today these vicious parasites want to impoverish, imprison, and kill us.
