A series of arrests have been made in connection with a violent incident involving migrants and NYPD officers in Times Square on Jan. 27. The incident, which occurred outside a migrant shelter, led to the arrest of eight individuals, with charges pending against the latest suspect. Among those arrested is a teenager, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, 15, charged with attempted murder following a shooting in Times Square. He remains in custody without bail. Another 17-year-old male was also taken into custody in connection with the attack on two NYPD officers on Jan. 27, charged with assault. Following these events, one of the migrants involved in the Times Square police beatdown was released after a 'sanctuary' church posted a $15K bail. This individual is suspected of committing another crime, a robbery at a Macy's in Queens, shortly after his release. The NYPD and various commentators have criticized the justice system's handling of these cases, highlighting a perceived failure to hold the accused accountable.
