The individual who entered the country as a migrant was subsequently deported, but later returned before the assault occurred.

In January, two NYPD officers were attacked in Times Square by a group of illegal migrants. Four of these migrants were caught by federal law enforcement in July 2022 but were not deported.

The report also criticizes the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policy.

Before the attack, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, who had already been ordered to be deported, left the country and returned.

A third migrant was arrested for shoplifting and assaulting store workers, but was not deported despite being a suspect in the Times Square attack.

The Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement released a report on Wednesday detailing the shocking revelations about the Jan. 27 attack on a police lieutenant and officer, which was caught on camera. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock, R-Calif, subpoenaed the files on the migrants from Homeland as part of the report.

The attack occurred in a tourist area near a migrant shelter, resulting in widespread condemnation and a middle finger gesture from one of the suspects after their release from police custody. The incident brought attention to the migrant crime surge, particularly in New York City, where tens of thousands of migrants have been housed at taxpayers' expense.

The report exposed a possible inadequate vetting of migrants, resulting in approximately 617,000 criminal migrants on U.S. streets. Additionally, the Manhattan District Attorney was criticized for accepting plea deals with the Times Square attackers while simultaneously pursuing former President Donald Trump for hush money payments.

According to the committee, over 7.5 million illegal migrants have entered the country under the Biden-Harris administration, with an additional 3.8 million illegal alien "gotaways" evading capture.

The report states that the criminality of some illegal aliens has resulted in predictable outcomes, including overwhelmed cities, crushed public services, and shattered communities.

During the Biden-Harris administration, four individuals, including Wilson Juarez-Aguilarte, Kelvin Servita Arocha, Darwin Gomez Izquiel, and Yorman Yoel Riveron-Rivero, entered the country illegally and were subsequently charged with assault on a police officer and obstructing a governmental investigation.

According to the New York Post, two individuals have agreed to lenient plea deals with Bragg's office, and none have been deported.

In February 2023, nearly a year before the Times Square attack, Juarez-Aguilarte, a Venezuelan national and suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, was ordered to be deported from the U.S. The report revealed that he crossed the southern border into Brownsville, Texas, in July 2022, and refused to tell border agents why he left Venezuela. He also informed border agents that he was heading to Houston.

He left the U.S. and then re-entered the country in June 2023, near Champlain, New York, with a group of 14 other migrants, but border agents released him again.

A Manhattan judge set bail at $1 for a man accused of evidence tampering and not participating in the attack in Times Square.

In January 2023, Servita-Arocha, a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela, was arrested near the northern border of the United States while walking with a group of eight other Venezuelan migrants in upstate New York. The group stated that they had illegally entered the United States from Mexico through Texas a week prior and were seeking to go to Canada.

Border agents released him with a list of pro bono legal service providers.

A year after the attack, he was among the four suspects who were arrested and released without bail. Bragg presented him with a plea deal to serve six months in prison for admitting to obstructing the administration of justice.

In August 2023, Gomez Izquiel, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. illegally near Brownsville, Texas, by crossing the Rio Grande River from Mexico on a raft. He was picked up by Border Patrol and stated that he came to the U.S. to seek asylum, find work to support his family financially, and obtain an education. After a National Crime Information Center query, he was processed and released with no criminal history found.

Gomez Izquiel was accused of being part of a group that robbed a Macy's store in Queens Center Mall and assaulted an employee. Days later, he was said to have acted as a lookout for a group of three others who stole merchandise from the store. In late July 2024, Gomez Izquiel accepted a plea deal for the Times Square assault.

In May 2023, Riveron-Rivero illegally crossed into Brownsville, Texas, and was apprehended by border agents. He was then released with instructions to report to ICE within 60 days, which he did in New York City in September 2023.

Before releasing him on his own recognizance, officers issued a warrant for his arrest, but only on the condition that he did not violate any local, state, or federal laws or ordinances, or associate with known gang members or any such activity.

It is not clear why ICE officers issued the arrest warrant.

Two months after being accused of stealing pants at a New York City Nordstrom store and biting a worker, Riveron-Rivero was arrested again for attempting to steal a coat from Macy's and punching another store worker. He was released without bail after both arrests.

Riveron-Rivero has been charged with second degree assault for allegedly assaulting two police officers in Times Square. He is facing two years in prison if he pleads guilty.

According to the report, the New York City police officers were assaulted due to the Biden-Harris Administration's decision to permit these undocumented individuals to enter the country.

"The immigration policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have resulted in real-world consequences for American citizens, with the negative effects being felt for years to come, as criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harm families and endanger public safety."

Since DHS has no way to verify a migrant's criminal history in their home country, the country's vetting process for migrants is almost non-existent. This is because the U.S. government relies on the migrant to self-report their criminal history or for the information to be reported by the migrant's home country.

The interim report criticized Bragg for pursuing legal action against Trump while simultaneously accepting a plea deal for Gomez Izquiel in the hush money case.

"The Committee has emphasized that Bragg has misused his position to pursue political prosecution against President Trump, employing a complex legal argument to transform a minor record-keeping offense into multiple felony charges."
