<p>The Trump administration is demanding that New York City hand over a previously deported illegal immigrant with a rap sheet who is now accused of fatally mowing down a young teen who refused his sexual advances.</p>
<p>Honduran illegal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-illegal-immigrant-fatally-shot-by-ice-agent-received-deportation-waiver-under-biden">immigrant</a> Jose Edwin Cruz Gomez, 38, is accused of hitting a 16-year-old girl, her mother, and stepfather on Saturday with his vehicle after the teen rejected “his drunken, lewd advances,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a press release.</p>

<p>The young girl was killed as a result of the attack, while her mother was injured, according to <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-lodges-detainer-against-illegal-alien-who-murdered-teenage-girl-after-she" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ICE</a>.</p>
<p>Now, ICE is pushing the New York City Department of Corrections not to release Cruz Gomez from custody before handing him over to the feds.</p>
<p>ICE officially lodged a detainer requesting that Cruz Gomez stay in custody on Monday, the agency said.</p>
<p>“Another young family is dealing with an unimaginable and all-too-preventable tragedy due to soft-on-crime sanctuary policies and prior open-border policies that let criminal aliens pour into our country with impunity,” acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons said in a statement Wednesday.</p>
<p>“The days of criminal aliens being given carte blanche to harm innocent people are over. These violent offenders will face the full force of the law and then be expeditiously removed from the U.S.,” he added.</p>

<p>Cruz Gomez crossed the southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-trump-speeds-up-mass-deportation-campaign-with-389000-illegal-immigrant-removals">border</a> illegally into Nogales, Arizona, on November 10, 2004, according to ICE. The illegal immigrant pleaded with an immigration judge to grant him asylum and allow him to stay, but he was deported in 2005.</p>
<p>He then crossed the border again, sneaking past authorities at an unknown subsequent date, according to ICE.</p>
<p>Cruz Gomez then appeared on Long Island, where he was arrested for a DUI on April 29, 2013.</p>
<p>ICE took him into custody after his deportation order was reinstated, but eventually released him two months later with an electronic monitor, which he later ditched, ICE said. The feds tried to locate him, but were unsuccessful.</p>
<p>Cruz Gomez allegedly went on to commit other crimes, including possession of a forged instrument in October 2024; disorderly conduct: creating hazardous or physically offensive conditions; attempted driving while intoxicated; and attempted operation of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more in January.</p>

<p>After each arrest, local cops released him from custody before ICE could get their hands on him, the agency said. ICE also had its hands tied under the Biden administration, which prevented the agency from arresting illegal immigrants who didn’t meet its priorities for arrests.</p>
<p>“He didn’t meet their criteria of aggravated felon with additional factors or a national security threat … it’s Biden’s fault,” former acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>While sanctuary laws also shielded Cruz Gomez, there’s a major loophole the Trump administration could use to arrest him, said Fahey.</p>
<p>The Trump administration has hit <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/19/us-news/how-trumps-doj-is-forcing-sanctuary-city-authorities-to-help-with-immigration-crackdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands</a> of illegal immigrants with criminal charges for entering the country after previous deportations, which results in federal criminal charges that allow ICE agents to enter sanctuary jails.</p>
<p>“The one thing that they can do to ensure he doesn&#8217;t get released is if they were to charge him with reentry after being deported then that&#8217;s a criminal warrant and they have to honor those,” said Fahey.</p>
<p>“That’s the way to get at some of these sanctuary cities … there’s so many people sitting in jails in LA, New York, Chicago, that probably are eligible,” he said.</p>
