New Yorkers are shaking their heads as a migrant teen let go after the mob attack on a pair of cops in Times Square got arrested again on new charges — this time for shoplifting at the Queens Center Mall.
How was he walking around free, let alone still in the country?
Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, got arrested for allegedly participating in a coordinated robbery of a Macy’s store in Queens — where District Attorney Melinda Katz will likely try a lot harder than Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg did to see he’s jailed.
The young Venezuelan “asylum seeker” stands charged with acting in concert with four others to shoplift clothes they then tried to hide in bags.
Bragg, of course, didn’t oppose his release without bail after the Times Square cop-attack, despite his lack of permanent address or community ties — clear flight risks that, along with the severity of the charges, allowed for bail-or-jail.
