“The ICE Alternatives to Detention program, despite its multibillion-dollar budget, is failing to meet necessary standards and has alarmingly high absconder rates. ICE fails to track down absconders and instead just removes them from the program.” - John Fabbricatore, former ICE field office director

An illegal alien who arrived in New York City two months ago from Venezuela has randomly attacked at least three strangers and two cops, and gotten arrested and released six times on 14 different charges police and sources said Daniel Hernandez Martinez, 29, arrived on June 27 and committed his first crime the following day. Martinez's crime spree started at a Costco at 976 Third Ave. in Brooklyn. Martinez stole a jar of Nutella, slippers, sneakers, hats, Gillette razor blades, and Dove body wash, cops said. He was charged with petty larceny and released on his own recognizance.
On 6 July, he hit a Duane Reade in Columbus Circle in Manhattan, this time stealing a "tool kit." The next day, he escalated from shoplifting to assault cops said. A security guard at a Duane Reade on West 35th in Manhattan tried to stop him from pilfering a bag of chips and toothpaste. He "pulled out a large knife and advanced toward an undercover officer" while yelling unintelligibly, court documents show. Martinez was charged with menacing this time, but again released on his own recognizance because the charge wasn't bail-eligible.
Three weeks later, on July 31, he attacked Jeffrey Bradac, 52, out of the blue with a bike tire in front of the Row Hotel, a migrant shelter in Times Square, according to authorities.
On Aug. 21, he violently attacked a woman in Midtown, cops said. He "grabbed a stranger by the hair, dragged her across the floor and kicked her," and smashed her phone on West 45th Street around 1 a.m., court documents show. He was charged with menacing, assault, criminal mischief, and weapon possession, and placed on supervised release, according to court records.
Three days later, he was arrested for menacing with a weapon and harassment after threatening a stranger with a chain in front of 701 Eighth Ave, cops said. He was again released with no bail.
Then, four days later, on Aug. 28, he was arrested for using a large metal pipe to break locks to steal bicycles in Times Square, police said. Cops charged him with petty larceny, criminal mischief, and possession of stolen property and burglary tools.
[THIS IS ALL PART OF THEIR PLAN]
