Illegal Free on Zero Bail Arrested for Rape

Last week illegal alien Cruz Garcia was charged with forcible rape and two related felonies in New York.  Danielle Wallace of Fox News reports that Garcia was automatically released without bail in June after being charged with felony drunk driving and other related crimes.  According to Delaware County prosecutors, on July 25th Garcia attacked a woman, strangling her until she nearly blacked out before raping her.  As a sanctuary state, New York prohibits state and local law enforcement from notifying federal immigration authorities when an illegal alien is arrested.  The state’s bail reform law, which took effect in 2020, required that Cruz be released without bail, enabling him to attack the woman a month later.  Had his June arrest occurred in Florida, Cruz would have been held for federal agents, preventing him from committing additional crimes.  Research documented by the Manhattan Institute and a separate study in California found that releasing arrestees without bail results in them committing additional crimes, including violent crimes.
