He is being held at Rikers Island Jail on $250,000 bond.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Bronx District Attorney’s Office and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell has criticized the city’s sanctuary laws that have led to migrant crime.

“When will sanctuary city laws be changed to allow us to notify federal authorities of deportation of non-citizens convicted of violent crimes?” wrote on X on Tuesday.

He cited the case of Daniel Davon-Bonilla, 24, of Nicaragua, who allegedly raped a 46-year-old woman at knifepoint over the weekend with another homeless person, Leovando Moreno, 37. in Brooklyn.

Davon-Bonilla was previously arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at a migrant shelter last year.
