ICE slams Long Island judge who let once-deported illegal immigrant walk out of court after 4th DWI conviction
Federal immigration officials tore into a Suffolk County judge for allowing a once-deported illegal immigrant to remain free after his fourth felony drunk driving conviction.A rep for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Post Judge Bryan Browns blew it when he ignored prosecutors and allowed Salvadoran national Pablo Aguilar-Alvarez, 36, to walk away without bail Friday.He’s considered a flight risk as he’s due back in court for sentencing in two months, when he faces up to seven years in prison.“The county judge should focus on public safety, not making excuses for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement,” a spokesperson for the federal agency said.“ICE will do everything in its power to find, detain, and remove this criminal illegal alien from American communities.“Our message is clear: If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, arrest you, and you will never return,” the flak said.
“Under President Trump and [Homeland Security] Secretary [Markwayne] Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States.”Aguilar-Alvarez, whose string of felony drunk driving convictions date to 2017, was deported in March 2024 after his third felony DWI conviction for a June 2022 arrest, prosecutors said.At some point, he snuck back into the US, authorities said.He was arrested again in November after his panicked gal pal called cops from a Southampton gas station where he pulled over to pick up more booze, Suffolk County prosecutors said Monday.
Southampton cops pulled him over after he was spotted blowing through a stop sign and driving across the double yellow line on the road, and hit him with his fourth drunk driving charge in 10 years.Prosecutors said Aguilar-Alvarez also had a misdemeanor DUI in 2012.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
