Several Migrants Involved in Mob Attack on NYPD Officers May be in Custody in Arizona

Several of the migrants suspected of beating New York City police officers during a mob attack were arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, Fox News reported Monday night.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources told Fox News that the migrants allegedly involved in the mob beating of NYPD officers were arrested Monday evening by ICE and Homeland Security Investigations at a Greyhound bus station in Phoenix.

The identities of the suspects arrested have not been released. There are also no further details on which migrants seen beating the officers in a video were arrested on Monday.

Seven men were allegedly involved in the attack. After they were arrested and charged, the suspects were released in New York City without bail. They reportedly fled the city for California last week.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said at a news conference Friday that she wanted to speak with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg about why most of the suspects were released without bail. She said prosecutors should have sought to keep them behind bars.
