An illegal alien affiliated with the violent Latin Kings gang was taken into federal custody after New York City authorities, operating under sanctuary policies, released him back onto the streets despite an active immigration detainer.
According to Breitbart, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents announced the arrest of Bryan David Tasiguano Leon, an illegal alien and Latin Kings member who was released into the United States by the Biden administration in November 2022 and given a final deportation order on February 27, 2025. On February 14, Tasiguano Leon was arrested by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) on assault charges, prompting ICE to file a detainer requesting notification prior to any release.
That detainer was disregarded, and Tasiguano Leon was freed back into the community before federal agents ultimately apprehended him on March 4. Authorities noted that he had previously been arrested for assault and family neglect, underscoring the public-safety risks of sanctuary policies that prioritize ideology over enforcement.
New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this Latin Kings gang member from jail back into New York City communities, the Department of Homeland Securitys Lauren Bis said in a statement. This gang member was previously arrested for assault and family neglect.
Not only was this illegal alien released by the Biden administration, but he was also released again by New Yorks sanctuary politicians, Bis said. Enough is enough. Sanctuary politicians must stop releasing criminal illegal aliens back into our communities to perpetrate more crimes.
ICE officials report more than 7,100 active detainers on criminal illegal aliens across New York state, including suspects tied to 148 homicides and 717 assaults. Those detainers also involve 134 burglaries, 235 drug crimes, 106 robberies, 152 firearm offenses, and 260 sex crimes, figures that highlight the stakes of a policy clash between federal enforcement and local sanctuary agendas.
