Undocumented man to be deported after raping, strangling woman in Delaware County
DELAWARE COUNTY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – An undocumented immigrant who lived in Delaware County is being deported after admitting to raping and choking a woman after having been let out of another jail in New York State. 45-year-old Cruz Garcia, who had been living in Fleischmanns, pleaded guilty to strangulation Tuesday in Delaware County Court. According to District Attorney Shawn Smith, Garcia was originally indicted for rape and unlawful imprisonment as well. In July 2023, Garcia forcibly raped the victim and strangled her nearly to the point of losing consciousness. That came just one month after Garcia had been arrested on felony DWI and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation charges in Orange County. Garcia was released according to New York's bail reform laws despite already being wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement due to a third, unrelated, and unspecified criminal conviction. Smith accepted the guilty plea in exchange for the time Garcia had already served since his indictment, with the understanding that Garcia would be deported from the country. Smith criticized New York's bail reform law and thanked ICE for its cooperation in the case.

‘Market Greens' addresses food insecurity in local community
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A local farmer's market is starting a new program to make sure everyone has access to fresh, healthy produce. The Binghamton Farmer's Market at Rec Park is beginning its Market Greens initiative this season. The nutrition-focused program will provide those in need with free coupons to exchange for items at the market. By providing no-questions-asked opportunities to get food, the project hopes to address food insecurity in the community. Vice President Bryce Farrell says she hopes the initiative will provide a third space for businesses and community members to connect. 'There are lots of vibrant businesses in food and agriculture. They want to get to know you, so you can come here and meet your farmer and know exactly where your eggs, your fruits, and your vegetables are coming from. You're developing relationships, you're improving your nutrition, and also just getting to spend some time outside with your neighbors,' said Farrell. The Binghamton Farmers Market is in its second year and takes place at Rec Park on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. through October 26. The market also has live music, arts and crafts, and nutritional workshops for kids and families. Visit the Binghamton Farmers Market Facebook page for more information.
