INVADER NEWS: Illegal Migrant Cut Loose In Plea Deal After Raping Sleeping Woman — But Then the Feds Stepped In; Nassau County Police to be Granted Authority to Help Arrest Illegal Criminal Migrants
Illegal migrant cut loose in plea deal after raping sleeping woman — but then the feds stepped in:
An Ecuadorian migrant cut a deal with Queens prosecutors that allowed him to dodge jail time for rape — but he couldn’t outrun the feds.
Kail Cardenas, 27, was picked up in a US Department of Homeland Security raid in Jamaica Monday morning, less than a month after he was freed in the horrifying 2023 rape and sex abuse case, The Post has learned.
“DEANewYork continues, along with our @justicedept & other federal law enforcement partners, to assist @dhsgov with their immigration enforcement efforts targeting violent illegal criminals,” the New York division of the federal drug-busting agency said in a post on X.
According to federal immigration sources, Cardenas arrived in the US from Ecuador on a visitor visa in September 2016 but remained in the country after his legal status expired in July 2021.
The illegal migrant was accused of molesting a woman who passed out at an apartment party in Jamaica on Jan. 29, 2023. The victim told authorities she woke up as Cardenas was raping her, according to the criminal complaint in the case.
Prosecutors later recovered Instagram messages between the victim and her attacker, in which he “stated that he saw [her] sleeping” and “began touching [her] body,” according to the complaint.
“He got an erection when he was touching her and then started having sex with [her],” the court doc states. —>READ MORE HERE
Nassau County police to be granted authority to help arrest illegal criminal migrants:
Nassau County police will be granted federal authority to help arrest and deport illegal criminal migrants under an agreement with the Trump administration, officials announced Tuesday.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman jumped at the chance to have his police department participate in the program when US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reached out and sought cooperation to arrest and deport illegal aliens committing crimes.
“We don’t want illegal immigrants roaming around our community committing crimes. We don’t want them in our community,” Blakeman told The Post.
“Our detectives will arrest illegal immigrants engaged in criminal activity. We want to make sure these people are locked up and deported.”
Under the arrangement, ICE will “cross-designate” or delegate authority to 10 Nassau County detectives to enforce immigration law, as well as perform their other policing duties.
ICE has the authority to grant local law authorities federal immigration enforcement powers under its 287(g) program.
The county will receive federal funding for assisting with immigration enforcement.
As part of the agreement, Nassau County will also detain a suspected illegal immigrant for up to 72 hours and will give ICE a permanent presence at the county jail, Blakeman said.
Blakeman’s office noted that ICE was evicted from the county jail under his Democratic predecessor, Laura Curran.
“We are very grateful that President Trump and [border czar] Tom Homan are serious about a problem that has plagued our region,” said Blakeman, who claimed ICE did not seek such cooperation during the Biden administration. —>READ MORE HERE
