Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is suddenly moving to jail the migrant cop-beaters, which we guess shows that scorching headlines can have some impact.
The DA’s office let five migrants walk after their arraignment in the wake of last week’s outrageous caught-on-video assault on two cops in Times Square.
So homeless thugs who entered the country illegally and with no community ties simply got released — and proceeded to leave the state.

The charges were clearly bail-eligible, but Bragg now claims his hands were tied by the no-bail law, since his prosecutors couldn’t prove these defendants were the guys on the tape when it came time to request bail.
The cops’ testimony wasn’t enough to even ask?
And if the law does tie his hands even when it comes to obvious flight risks assaulting police officers, why hasn’t he been screaming about that madness since taking office, if not before?
