Two illegal immigrants — David Davon-Bonilla, 24, from Nicaragua and Leovando Moreno, 37, from Mexico — have been arrested for allegedly raping a 46-year-old woman at knifepoint under the Coney Island boardwalk on August 11th. The NYPD confirmed the horrific details: the men pushed the woman to the ground, held a knife to her throat — Davon-Bonilla then raped her while Moreno viciously beat up a 34-year-old man who attempted to intervene, using an unidentified object. The woman was transported to the hospital in stable condition; her boyfriend refused medical attention.

This heinous crime has sparked outrage and reignited the debate over New York City's controversial sanctuary policies — policies that Mayor Eric Adams has been highly critical of, stating: "As you know, laws do not allow us to coordinate with ICE, that's the law. And, you know I'm not happy about that." His frustration evident as he called Davon-Bonilla "the poster child of what's wrong with not doing that coordination" with ICE.

NYPD's Chief of Patrol John Chell echoed the Mayor's sentiments, lamenting: "When will our sanctuary city laws be amended to allow us to notify federal authorities regarding the deportation of noncitizens convicted of violent crimes?" He revealed that Davon-Bonilla had already been arrested in April 2023 for sexually assaulting a woman in Brooklyn — "The criminal justice system did its job -- he was convicted, sentenced, and released in June 2024. But after being released, he returned to the streets and violently assaulted another woman in Coney Island this past Sunday." A chilling indictment of the system's failure to protect its citizens.

The tragic story of 5-year-old La'Rayah Davis, who was brutally murdered in 2019, serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to reevaluate our justice system. This innocent child endured horrific abuse from her mother's boyfriend, former NFL player Cierre Wood. The details are almost too painful to bear—20 broken ribs, internal bleeding, a lacerated liver, and bruises on her heart. Wood, whose NFL career was brief after playing for Notre Dame, received a life sentence, with the possibility of parole after just 10 years.

This case is more than just a horrifying crime; it’s a wake-up call for all of us. Mayor Adams put it plainly: "It's clear that he does not deserve to be in our city." The safety of our communities must always be our top priority. We have to take a strong stand and make sure that those who commit such heinous acts are held fully accountable. The loss of innocent lives, like La'Rayah’s, should never be in vain. It’s time to put the safety and well-being of our people first and ensure that justice is served.
