Mexican migrant with record of assault, weapons charges released by NYC authorities

A Mexican migrant convicted of assault, robbery, criminal possession of a firearm and physically injuring a family member was released from custody by New York City authorities — after the Department of Homeland Security lodged a detainer request . Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials filed the detainer for Alonzo Reyes-Garcia, alias “Alberto Tellez,” on Oct. 30, requesting that Big Apple officials keep him in jail until the feds could take custody of him. The Queens District Attorney’s Office had recently brought charges of misdemeanor assualt against Reyes-Garcia, but a judge ordered him to be put on supervised release, despite his past violent convictions. Alonzo Reyes-Garcia, also known as Alberto Tellez, a Mexican migrant facing assault and weapons charges, is released by NYC authorities. DHS “Federal detainers are not lodged with the Queens District Attorney’s Office,” a spokesperson responded in a statement. “Our office is not a custodial agency.” The NYPD, which was the custodial agency, didn’t respond to a request for comment. Neither did the citys Department of Corrections. “In this particular case, the Queens District Attorney’s Office sought bail of $10,000 but the judge ordered supervised release on the underlying case,” the rep added.
