Trans migrant sticks nose in the air as she appears in court accused of raping child in NYC park bathroom
A transgender migrant appeared in court yesterday after being arrested for raping a 14-year-old boy in a park bathroom. Nicol Suarez, 30, allegedly followed the boy into a bathroom at Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem back in February at around midday, police told the Daily Mail. The boy reportedly left the bathroom and flagged down people nearby, who called the police. The migrant was then charged with first-degree rape and stalking. Suarez wore head-to-toe beige prison garb and a full face of makeup as she stuck her nose up at her court appearance on Thursday. She scowled as officers led her into the courtroom, her expression even more pronounced due to her heavy contour, penned eyebrows and bright pink lip. As she sat down for the court proceedings, Suarez's neck tattoo peaked out from underneath her beige crewneck. She had spent the entire day waiting in Department of Corrections custody after the building was put on lockdown due to unknown reasons. Suarez required an interpreter to understand the proceedings as the two sides went back and forth over the status of her case, a court attendee reported. Suarez required an interpreter to understand the proceedings as the two sides went back and forth over the status of her case Her lawyer asked for more time to file her motions, but Judge Michele Rodney declined the request. After 10 minutes of deliberation, the Judge set a date for a pre-trial hearing in mid-September and Suarez was escorted back to the holding cells. The accused rapist is being housed at Rikers Island, a large jail complex in New York City, located on a 413-acre island between the Bronx and Queens in the East River. Originally from Colombia, Suarez was also wanted in New Jersey and Massachusetts and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement had a detainer on her. After her alleged crime in February, a source told the New York Post that they blamed New York City's sanctuary laws for the attack and said: 'ICE could just pick this person up and deport them back, but due to our sanctuary laws we can't do anything.' 'I feel really bad for the kid that has to go through this because his life will never be the same,' the source added. 'We worry about the migrants but what about the victim? This is a true victim.' A nearby deli owner, Azid Haime, described the incident as 'disgusting.' 'All my body is shaking; I want to sit. I can't explain how I feel. I'm more than angry,' he said, adding that many young kids come to his shop from the park. Suarez wore head-to-toe beige prison garb and a full face of makeup as she stuck her nose up at her court appearance on Thursday Prosecutors initially asked for $500,000 bail and a $1.5 million bond, but the amount was lowered by Democratic Judge Elizabeth Shamahs. Both of the crimes Suarez is accused of are felonies in New York. First-degree rape is a Class B felony with a minimum prison sentence of five years, and a maximum of 25 years. It is also a violent felony, requiring registration as a sex offender. Stalking in the first degree is a Class D felony with a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. It's also a violent felony, meaning a minimum sentence of two years is mandatory for those without prior felony convictions.

Trans migrant finding sanctuary in NYC accused of raping 14-year-old
A transgender woman wanted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is accused of stalking and raping a 14-year-old boy in New York City. Nicol Suarez, a 30-year-old trans migrant from Colombia, was arrested Wednesday after allegedly following the child into the bathroom of a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park and attacking him, according to a report in the New York Post. The boy was able to leave the bathroom and flag down witnesses after the attack, resulting in Suarez's arrest the next day. Suarez was already wanted in both New Jersey and Massachusetts at the time of the crime, the report notes, while ICE had a detainer on the Colombian migrant, the agency's way of requesting that any law enforcement agencies that arrest the suspect hold him to be turned over to federal authorities. That detainer means ICE could quickly deport the individual if local authorities cooperate, a source told the New York Post. "It just goes to show that Donald Trump and [border czar] Tom Homan are correct that you need to get the violent people out of New York City and Eric Adams, Letitia James and Kathy Hochul should all cooperate because this person has an ICE detainer," the source said. "ICE could just pick this person up and deport them back," the source continued, adding that New York City's "sanctuary laws" will mean local police "can't do anything." Prosecutors asked for $500,000 bail and $1.5 million bond for Suarez, according to the report, a number that was shot down by Judge Elizabeth Shamahs, who settled on a $100,000 bail or $250,000 bond. But the source believes the amount shows that the city is still not concerned with the true victims of migrant crimes. "I feel really bad for the kid that has to go through this because his life will never be the same," the source said. "We worry about the migrants but what about the victim? This is a true victim."

Trans migrant charged with raping 14-year-old boy in NYC bathroom
A migrant transgender woman wanted by federal immigration officials allegedly stalked and raped a boy in Manhattan this week, The Post has learned. Nicol Suarez allegedly followed the 14-year-old into the bathroom of a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem Tuesday and attacked him, police and sources said. The boy then left the bathroom and flagged down witnesses, who alerted police, the sources said. Suarez, 30, who is originally from Colombia, was arrested nearby the following day and charged with first-degree rape. Suarez was wanted in New Jersey and Massachusetts at the time, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had a detainer on her, a law enforcement source said. The nature of the out-of-state charges wasn't immediately available. An ICE detainer is a request to law enforcement agencies to hold an individual so they can be taken into federal custody. The case shows why the city should end its sanctuary city status for dangerous criminals, a source said. 'It just goes to show that Donald Trump and [border czar] Tom Homan are correct that you need to get the violent people out of New York City and Eric Adams, Letitia James and Kathy Hochul should all cooperate because this person has an ICE detainer,' the source said. 'ICE could just pick this person up and deport them back,' the source said. 'But due to our sanctuary laws we can't do anything.' Prosecutors initially asked for $500,000 bail and $1.5 million bond for Suarez, the law enforcement source said. But Judge Elizabeth Shamahs, who became a judge in January after she was elected on the Democratic ticket, lowered the amount to $100,000 bail or $250,000 bond, online court records show. 'I feel really bad for the kid that has to go through this because his life will never be the same,' the source said. 'We worry about the migrants but what about the victim? This is a true victim.' Suarez was being held on Rikers Island, online records showed Saturday. 'This rapist should be deported so he can't do that to any other innocent young boy,' Lindsaey Gonzalez said. 'That boy must be traumatized a lot for the rest of his life,' Gonzalez, 24, said. 'I feel bad for him because I'm a mother.' A nearby deli owner, not the store in which the attack occurred, said children come from the park to his deli everyday to get candy and shacks. He was visibly shaken when he heard what happened. 'Oh my God, that is disgusting,' said Azid Haime, 59, owner of 2234 East Side Deli. 'He destroyed that little boy's life!' he said. 'All my body is shaking, I want to sit. I can't explain how I feel. I'm more than angry.'
