Migrant convicted of attacking Times Square cops grins as he's sentenced to prison; police union seeks deportation | amNewYork
Briefly

Yorman Reveron, a Venezuelan migrant, was sentenced to two years in prison for assaulting police officers during a violent brawl in Times Square on January 27, 2024. Reveron, who was convicted of assault and petit larceny, was part of a group obstructing pedestrian traffic when he pushed two officers. The police union expressed dissatisfaction with the sentencing duration, arguing Reveron shows a lack of respect for the law and should face deportation upon release, especially since he has a history of prior offenses.
"We're glad that this vicious cop-basher is staying behind bars, but a few years in jail aren't going to change him. He attacked two New York City police officers while he was out on supervised release for a previous crime, Hendry said."
"He has zero respect for the law and cannot be allowed back on our streets. If he's in the country illegally, he needs to be deported immediately upon completing his sentence, Hendry said."
