Another 15yo tied to baby-faced ‘Little Devil' gang busted in NYC robbery of autistic teen: sources
Another 15-year-old migrant tied to Tren de Aragua's baby-faced 'Little Devils'' gang was busted Tuesday in the cowardly robbery of an autistic teen at the Staten Island Mall, law-enforcement sources said. The punk gang associate also is being eyed in a 'Little Devils' robbery attack on another teen in Lower Manhattan last week — when the thugs literally ripped a sneaker off the victim, sources said. The boy was picked up by the NYPD in the morning and is the third person to be nabbed in the earlier May 5 Mother's Day robbery that left a 16-year-old autistic victim battered and traumatized. Already charged in the Mother's Day mall crime was another 15-year-old whose exploits include more than a dozen arrests, with the notorious young criminal deemed the poster boy for the 'Little Devils,' a k a 'Los Diablos de 42,' or 'The Devils of 42nd Street.' 4 A 15-year-old boy associated with the Tren de Aragua offshoot 'Little devils' gang and busted Tuesday throws up a gang sign on social media, law-enforcement sources say. Obtained by the NYPost 4 Two migrants, 15 and 17, were the first to be charged with robbing an autistic teen at the Staten Island Mall on May 5. Gregory P. Mango The underaged crew is essentially a farm system for the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren, with members having snuck into the US with the wave of asylum-seekers that began flooding across the country's southern border in 2022. The gang recruited new members from inside city-funded Big Apple shelters — and spawned the troublesome 'Little Devils' gang, which has largely dodged serious charges because they are minors. In the May 5 assault, a mob of 'Diablos' stormed through the Staten Island Mall wreaking havoc, including by ganging up on the disabled teen, attacking him and stealing his bag and $38, police said. 4 The NYPD says it has identified 40 members of the migrant teen gang 'Diablos de la 42' who have terrorized the Big Apple. Obtained by the NY Post 4 The NYPD put out an alert for this migrant, suspected in a gang assault of an autistic boy at the Staten Island Mall. dcpi 'It makes me sick these kids are still here,' the victim's furious mom previously told The Post. 'They should have been deported a long time ago. I had to keep my son home for a week because he was so scared.' The gang-associated suspect busted Tuesday over the mall attack was charged with second-degree robbery — but is likely to get a slap on the wrist like his cohorts because of the state's lenient juvenile justice laws, which refer underage minors to family court and release them without bail. The suspect is also being eyed for a separate 'Diablos' attack last week, during which as many as a dozen of the pint-sized punks allegedly attacked another teen and stole a $250 Christian Dior sneaker off him at knifepoint, according to cops and sources. The NYPD has identified 40 members of the 'Diablos' gang and lists about 30 others as 'associates' who have been busted in dozens of assaults and robberies in the five boroughs. Police said the gang's cowardly MO is to mob vulnerable victims.

Insane progressive leniency keeps letting more young terrors skirt
Progressives and their insane leniency strike again. In Colorado, a prog prosecutor basically let a 15-year-old illegal immigrant walk after he killed a 24-year-old woman in a high-speed car crash. In New York, cops hauled in the 15-year-old poster boy for the Tren de Aragua farm team, Diablos de la 42 (Little Devils) for the robbery of a 16-year-old autistic boy on Staten Island. The alleged thug had been busted 12 times before — but, as a police source gripes 'short of murder, there is no mechanism to hold juvenile offenders accountable' in New York. What perfect progressive public-safety storms: lefty policies cascading to foster utter lawlessness. First: Neither hooligan should've been in the country in the first place, but President Joe Biden did the bidding of his party's left by waving in millions of 'asylum seekers' with little vetting and in blatant violation of the law, and the country will likely be years dealing with the impact. Second: Progressives refuse to let underage perps ever face adult punishment, and in practice impose no consequences at all. Thus the Colorado youth, a Colombian national, got just two years probation and 100 hours of community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver — as long as he promised to go to school and obey the law in future. That's it, though he drove the car without a license and sped down recklessly down a 45 mph street at 90. The Little Devil poster kid, meanwhile, is believed part of a crew of about 40 behind numerous robberies and assaults in New York, per cops. But juveniles here get to run wild, law-enforcement officials fume, thanks to 'reforms' like the Raise the Age act, which keep teens under 18 from suffering anything more than wrist-slaps for all but the most heinous crimes. Other ridiculous laws, like cashless bail, and pro-criminal judges and prosecutors compound the problem. Weaver's dad, John Weaver, said he was expecting a full trial of the Columbian teen and for the district attorney to offer no concessions. But then lefty Amy Padden won election to the DA job, and rapidly handed the teen a sweetheart plea deal. 'Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day,' fumed Weaver, fighting back tears. 'Now I sit here today without a daughter.' The autistic boy's mom is also rightly outraged: 'It makes me sick that these kids are still here,' she seethed. Alas, the 'undeportable' criminals will remain roaming the streets and terrorizing the public, until America's progs change course. Or voters change them.
