Chilling new details have emerged about the illegal migrants — including killers tied to 29 homicides — who have been released onto the streets of New York due to sanctuary laws, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The violent rogue’s gallery includes the likes of Cuban national and convicted killer Jose Antonio Andreo-Quezada, an illegal alien with a criminal history involving homicide, larceny, disorderly conduct, possession of stolen property, dangerous drugs, burglary, trespassing and assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
He was released from Rikers Island, only to be picked up again on a parole violation, with ICE promptly putting in a detainer for him Aug. 16.

Another is Anastacio Tejada Almonte, a criminal and Dominican national with a rap sheet including homicide, assault, illegally carrying a weapon and flight to avoid prosecution, DHS said.
Despite an ICE detainer being lodged in May, he was released from the New York Department of Corrections on July 27.
The men are just two of the 6,947 criminals released from New York jails in the past year, despite having active ICE detainers requesting they be handed over to immigration authorities for deportation.
The killers were cut loose, and many others have nine toes out the door, rather than being removed from the country, in accordance with the city and state’s sanctuary policies, which limit how much local law enforcement is allowed to cooperate with federal agencies such as ICE, DHS said.
The terrifying list continues with Alex Jareth Martinez-Avila, an illegal migrant from Honduras, who racked up a laundry list of criminal charges including assault, possession of stolen property, unauthorized use of a vehicle, fraud, trespassing and possession of burglary tools.

Hector De Sousa-Villalta, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela.
An ICE detainer placed on him May 26 didn’t stop Queens central booking from letting him go, which ended up costing someone their life, DHS said.
Martinez-Avila remained at large until he was re-arrested for homicide and robbery. He is still in custody, and ICE lodged a new arrest detainer for him Sept. 22.
ICE under the Trump administration has stepped up efforts to round up and deport violent criminal offenders.
William Alexander Paredes-Vasquez committed numerous assaults, and finally a homicide, but was released from custody in the face of an ICE detainer lodged on July 10.
Luis Franklin Tenesaca-Palchizaca, from Ecuador, whose charges include public order crimes and obstruction.
But in spite of its efforts, criminals such as Ecuadorian national Luis Franklin Tenesaca-Palzhizaca, whose charges include public order crimes and obstruction, was released from custody after local authorities ignored an ICE detainer lodged Aug. 27, DHS said.
He was arrested again Sept. 24 for homicide, which ICE followed up with a fresh detainer three days later.

Then there’s Hector De Sousa-Villalta, an illegal migrant from Venezuela, who was charged with homicide, possession of a weapon, dangerous drugs, public order crimes and assault but released from Rikers Island even though ICE had put in a request he be released into their custody.
Due to an abject lack of help from local agencies, ICE has had to do the heavy lifting in tracking down and arresting these violent thugs to make sure the serial offenders are deported to their home countries, sometimes more than once as they slither their way back across the border repeatedly.
Anastacio Tejada Almonte, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, whose criminal history includes charges for homicide, assault, illegally carrying a weapon, and flight to avoid prosecution.
But violent maniacs like Jesus Romero-Hernandez, who was removed from the US an incredible seven times before attacking an Ithaca cop with a machete, continue bobbing and weaving their way through the justice system, ending up on the streets to reoffend time and time again.
Last month, ICE removed him from the country for the eighth time.
