Queens Council Member Robert Holden has voiced concerns over New York City’s sanctuary city laws following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report revealing that a Venezuelan gang member, convicted of criminal possession of a firearm, was twice released into the community after local jurisdiction ignored ICE detainer requests.
Holden’s comments came after ICE reported the arrest of Javier Jose Albornoz Marchan, a 22-year-old Venezuelan national and member of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang, who is unlawfully present in the United States.
