New York may very well have the worst bail reform law out there, as it allows so many people to slip through the cracks.
The law was put together by Democrats in the hopes of making things more fair for those who were arrested. However, it’s a little too lenient; and, based on this report, many are using it to their advantage, including repeat offenders.
For instance, illegal immigrant Cruz Garcia, who was previously wanted by ICE, was able to leave custody due to the controversial bail laws. And in turn, that allowed him to commit another brutal crime that he was arrested for.
Garcia has been indicted for first-degree rape and unlawful imprisonment of a woman, as well as second-degree strangulation. This happened in late July, and the events were so brutal from it that the woman nearly lost consciousness over Garcia’s actions.
This follows New York previously booking him on unrelated felony charges back in mid-June in Orange County, including felony DWI and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation. But thanks to New York’s “relaxed” laws, he was able to slip out and commit even more crime.
Delaware County Acting District Attorney Shawn Smith voiced his displeasure over the reform laws. “Unfortunately, due to New York State’s bail reform laws, the defendant was automatically released from custody on those felony charges,” Smith explained in a statement. “This defendant lacks any legal status in the United States, and he was wanted by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], due to an unrelated criminal conviction, prior to the Orange County indictment or this indictment.”
And yet, he was just let go, to commit more heinous acts.
Rep. Marc Molinaro, a Republican for New York, wasn’t pleased with the reform laws: “We need to stop accepting failed policies that put families in our communities in danger. There is nothing controversial or partisan about prioritizing the safety of Upstate New Yorkers. I once again call for bipartisan action.”
Absolutely nailed it on the head. I’m not sure what those Democrats were thinking when they put the laws together to begin with. More humane treatment? Trying to avoid filling up those jail cells so they can pay less money to police officers? Hey, your guess is as good as mine. But the bottom line is that this system is failing. Horrendously.
Republican state Senator Peter Oberacker added some fuel to the fire, discussing the “dual failures” of both New York and Washington when it came to bail reform laws. “The absence of any practical immigration policy coupled with the proven debacle known as bail reform is endangering public life on a daily basis. Dangerous criminals continue to receive a pass here in New York State and our police and prosecutors are forced to continually fight upstream to do their jobs.”
Perhaps the most concerning thing of all is that so many immigrants are now entering our country, while President Joe Biden twiddles his thumbs and occasionally points at a Border Patrol agent, blaming them for the mess. While innocent people, like the woman Garcia so heavily assaulted, pay the price.
New York State Police are looking into the matter, thank goodness. But you really have to wonder just how much those troublesome Democrats are going to bind their hands in the matter, simply stating that it’s all about that “reform policy” and how it’s not adding to the growing criminal activity within their state.
Gov. Kathy Hochul believes that the bail reform has a “righteous” goal. In an earlier statement, she noted that “the size of someone’s bank account should not determine whether they sit in jail, or return home, before they have even been convicted of a crime.”
But you’ll let a migrant slip away and hurt even more people, while paying attention to someone’s checkbook?
This system needs an overhaul. Badly. Otherwise, more migrants are going to be out there, committing criminal acts while New York insists it doesn’t have a problem. I assure you – it does.
Michael Letts is Founder, President, and CEO of InVest USA, a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs. He also has over 30 years of law enforcement experience under his belt.
Persons like them need to be locked up for life not roaming the Streets their just asking for it following Liberal policies that replace Real Punishment with Counseling and Meditation Sessions
Person “like him” should not be IN THE USA!! He’s an ILLEGAL alien who committed a CRIME when he came here ILLEGALLY – thus the term “ILLEGAL” alien!! He should have been sent home with his first arrest! We either take back OUR NATION or LOSE IT FOREVER to the illegals and DEMOcrats!
How about a public hanging?!
“Occasioanally points at A border patrol agent, blaming THEM for the mess?” Don’t you mean “blaming HIM for the mess?”
I believe New York voters have had the chance to vote the state legislators who enacted this monstrosity out of office since they voted for it. Did they do so? No. Unless and until you get more reality-based voters to vote, or get more voters to vote on the basis of fact instead of what makes them feel good about themselves (the basis of most Leftist opinions) you’ll continue to get disasterous results.
Sadly, so many people don’t even pay attention until something bad happens to them or someone they care about. Then they “get it”.
As someone who grew up in the state of NY and just fled NYC recently, I have to say something in New York’s defense: there is massive voter fraud there, and has been for many years. The city is basically run by Communists and so is much of the state government in Albany. It’s corrupt. Much of New York state is moderate or conservative, but their votes are neutralized by the voting habits of the crazy city.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a registered Republican, a conservative. Most city dwellers are brainwashed libs or Communists, but I’ve seen some things in 20 years of voting there. People are openly bribed for their votes (last time Democratic Socialist women in skimpy outfits were promising pizza and lap dances to anyone standing on line to vote and willing to vote for their candidate. I watched this personally and reported it)
Ballot stuffing is legion, the SEIU, Soros and the teachers unions, among many players, recruit and bus illegal aliens and non-qualified voters from poll place to poll place, voting repeatedly. Many New Yorkers also own two homes in different states and they vote in both places. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of the fraud, Most residents of New York State don’t get the policies they vote for, they get the ones that the ruling Communists push through.
Recidivism is a serious bug when laws are properly enforced. But recidivism isn’t a bug, it’s a feature of current NY laws.
What did anyone with half a brain think would happen when they helped millions of illegals invade our country, unchecked and unvetted?
They had to know that third world craphole countries would empty their prisons and insane asylums at our expense… and yup that is just what is happening.
Pedo Joe Bidet is funding the Soros affiliated NGOs that are recruiting, escorting and enabling the invaders. Once the invaders arrive they are aided (by other criminal NGOs also funded by Bidet) in dispersing all over the country and in getting lots of public benefits paid for by taxpayers.
Talk about treason.
Yup, they knew and that is their plan. Illegal immigration is just one of the myriad of methods the Communists use to overthrow a country. Others are gaining high postitions in Academia, Government, Religion, Corporations etc. etc. They laid it all out in a 1950’s book called the Communist Manifesto and you can read it on line.
BUT, it is who is behind the Communists that matters, that no one talks about, and that is satan himself. Do you really think that parents who promote and encourage their children to have their little penises and breasts chopped off are normal, sane individuals ? If not, then the obvious opposite is that they are insane and demonic.
Maranatha, come Lord Jesus……
One of Biden’s people
Biden MUST go
Please stop referring to those people who walk across the Rio Grande as ”immigrants” or even ”migrants” as they are neither and I am an immigrant who paid and was granted resident status, now a Citizen since 1997, and yet media states these people are immigrants and Im offended and will now run off to find a safe space so I can have a good old cry otherwise Im gonna bust some heads.
People who enter any country without permission are known as illegal aliens or invaders, pick one and stop insulting those of us who paid to enter and who love this country 100% and I arrived in NYC in a snow storm, 1982, middle of January, with $27 in my pocket, holes in both by Boots, clothes on my back and didn’t know a single person, so I lived in NYC for two years and then drove out West.
I guess all that white privilege I went looking for must have panned out… Right ?..
I have what I have today because I made it happen, nobody gave me a damn thing.
Trump 2024 or we are done and dusted.
