Seven Migrants Indicted for Assaulting NYPD Officers in Times Square

The indictments follow a controversial incident involving a group of migrants and NYPD officers, sparking debate over city policies and immigration enforcement.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg announced indictments against seven migrants accused of assaulting NYPD officers in Times Square, following a January incident.
Body cam and surveillance footage show disparities in accounts of the incident, with some suggesting police may have initiated the confrontation.
Critics slammed Bragg for initially releasing suspects without bail, prompting calls for his removal and criticism of NYC's sanctuary city policy.
ICE criticized NYC's policies for hindering cooperation and detaining violent suspects, as some suspects fled the city after their release.
The incident has intensified debates over U.S. immigration policy and the treatment of migrants in New York, amid calls for the perpetrators' deportation.
