Migrants arrive at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC, a main intake center. Last May, Alexander Ayala, 24, was among several migrants charged for an attack on two NYPD officers after a fight between two groups of migrants at the Roosevelt Hotel.

The Roosevelt serves as the city’s main migrant intake center.

Ayala was charged with two counts of assault and one count of obstruction following the violent incident. Although prosecutors asked that he be held on $20,000 cash, $20,000 insurance bond, and $40,000 partially-secured surety bond, he and the other defendants were released on supervised release.

Now, Ayala has been arrested and charged again, this time for identity theft and possession of stolen property after an August 12 robbery. A Manhattan criminal court judge has already released him on his own recognizance.

The New York Post reports:

"Authorities say Ayala grabbed the unidentified victim’s card and phone, then took off on a bike — then tried to use the woman’s Amazon credit card later that day at Gourmet 45, a deli on Third Avenue, and a T-Mobile store on Lexington Avenue," according to the complaint.

Prosecutors hit him with two counts of third-degree identity theft and one count of criminal possession of stolen property for his alleged crimes.

"But because the charges aren’t bail-eligible," said The New York Post report. "The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office asked the court to let Ayala go on supervised release."

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Simiyon Haniff let Ayala walk on his own recognizance.

Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported another serial criminal migrant case involving Yohenry Brito, 24. Brito was part of a violent altercation in January where two police officers attempting to disperse a mob were attacked.

Brito’s bail was paid by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and just a few months later while out on bail, Brito was arrested again for serial theft.

New York is dealing with repeat offenders partly due to its no-bail “Less is More” act signed into law in 2021 by Governor Kathy Hochul. The Less is More Act gives more leniency to parolees and removes reasons to put parolees back behind bars; according to The Post: “It removes technical parole violations like being late for an appointment or missing a curfew.”
