"ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations team in New York has repeatedly moved to apprehend noncitizens whom federal judges have ordered removed, often after local jurisdictions decline to honor detainers."
"DHS says Leon entered the U.S. around Nov. 11, 2022, and was issued a final order of removal on Feb. 27, 2025. ICE lodged a detainer with the NYPD before his Feb. 14 arrest."
Bryan David Tasiguano Leon, an alleged Latin Kings member, was re-arrested by ICE after being released by NYC authorities despite an active detainer. He was initially arrested on Feb. 14 for assaulting a first responder and has a history of prior arrests. Leon entered the U.S. in November 2022 and has a final order of removal set for February 2025. His case has intensified the debate over New York's sanctuary policies, with city officials defending their stance against ICE's enforcement actions.
