Top NYPD Chief Says City’s Sanctuary Policies Should Be Vaporized After Migrant Allegedly Raped Woman At Knifepoint

Davon-Bonilla sexually assaulted a woman in April, and after pleading guilty, he was released from Rikers Island prison on June 24.

The New York City Police Department’s chief of patrol is demanding the city roll back its sanctuary policies in the wake of another alleged migrant crime.

A homeless migrant in Brooklyn was arrested for allegedly raping a woman on Sunday at knifepoint while his migrant accomplice allegedly beat a man when he attempted to intervene, according to  CBS News. At least one of the migrants allegedly involved had been previously arrested for a prior sexual assault and was released back into the public, prompting outcry from New York City leadership about the sanctuary laws allowing criminal illegal migrants to avoid deportation.

“When that case was adjudicated, his next step should’ve been on a bus or a plane and removed from our city,” NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell stated on Tuesday, referring to the conclusion of the migrant’s prior criminal proceedings, according to CBS News.

“Most of them are here for the American dream, but there’s a small portion that are not,” Chell said to CBS News. “We’re just looking for local government to maybe make that adjustment to those laws to really – at the end of the day, this all falls under the banner of keeping people safe.”

The case involves David Davon-Bonilla, a Nicaraguan migrant who crossed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas, in December 2022 and eventually made his way to New York City, according to ABC7. Davon-Bonilla sexually assaulted a woman in April, and after pleading guilty, he was released from Rikers Island prison on June 24.

Davon-Bonilla was arraigned Monday night and is being held without bail for allegedly raping the woman, according to ABC7.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not immediately confirm Davon-Bonilla’s immigration status when reached for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Sanctuary laws largely prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, which typically means they cannot inform deportation officers when a criminal migrant is in their custody or when that migrant is being released back into the public. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law sanctuary legislation in 2014 limiting the New York Police Department’s ability to work with ICE, and he doubled down on this policy two years later.

In the wake of numerous high-profile crimes allegedly committed by illegal migrants, more New York City politicians – including Democrats – are calling for these policies to be rolled back.

“Laws do not allow us to coordinate with ICE. That’s the law,” Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, said in response to the latest rape case, according to CBS News.

“And, you know I’m not happy about that,” Adams continued. “And I think [Davon-Bonilla is] the poster child of what’s wrong with not doing that coordination.”

However, all efforts to actually wind back these sanctuary laws have so far fallen flat.

The Common Sense Caucus, a coalition of moderate Republican and Democratic members of the New York City Council, introduced legislation in June that would allow city police to more freely work with ICE agents, but in a city council dominated by liberal Democrats, the bill has not been able to move forward.

Members of the Common Sense Caucus had pinned their hopes on allowing New York City voters to directly vote on the issue, with the recently-established Charter Revision Commission given the authority to decide what issues city residents would be allowed to vote on in the November elections. However, these hopes were sunk once the commission released its report last month, announcing that there would be no referendum on the city’s sanctuary laws.

Over 208,000 migrants have sought refuge in New York City since the nationwide immigration crisis began, fomenting an “explosion” in the city’s shelter population and taxpayer expenditures, the commission’s own report acknowledges. City officials expect to hash out more than $12 billion managing the crisis through 2025.

The asylum crisis forced Adams to declare 5% budget cuts in September for government programs and services in order to pay for migrant housing and other services, and last year he bemoaned that the city was reaching a “breaking point” from the sheer volume of migrants.

NYC’s sanctuary laws have become more controversial following a strong of illegal migrant crimes, such as when a group allegedly went on a shopping spree and beat down an NYPD officer, another illegal migrant allegedly fired at two NYPD cops during a foot pursuit or the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint by another illegal migrant.

One Democrat member of the Common Sense Caucus on Wednesday ripped city officials for failing to take action.

“Instead of being turned over to ICE after being arrested, convicted, and sentenced, this sicko was released back onto the streets, only to commit the same vile sexual assault again,” Council Member Robert Holden said in a press release. “This is a direct result of City Hall’s refusal to act and work with ICE to keep our communities safe, leaving us vulnerable to those who should have been deported.”

“We already have enough criminals in this city — why should we continue importing more?” Holden continued. “The madness in this city must end.”

Canada’s safety minister says he has not met with any members of damaged or destroyed churches

Published on October 11, 2025

From LifeSiteNews

Minister Gary Anandasangaree said his priorities are getting a new border bill passed and tackling illegal immigration.

Canada’s Public Safety Minister admitted that he has yet to meet with anyone from 123 Christian, mostly Catholic, churches that have been either reduced to ashes or seriously vandalized over the past four years.

Speaking recently before a committee to discuss upcoming fall bills, Minister Gary Anandasangaree was grilled by opposition Conservative MPs on a host of issues from public safety and illegal migrants to church arsons.

He said his priorities are getting a new border Bill C-12 passed while tackling illegal immigration but made no specific mention of tackling the rise of Christian hate in Canada.

Asked by Conservative MP Dane Lloyd about whether he met with any of the 123 and counting church congregations, he replied that he has not, but he claimed he has met with “many members of different church and faith groups.”

“You said you met with synagogues and mosques, which I do appreciate,” noted Lloyd, adding, “Those communities need your support, Minister, but Christian communities also need your support.”

“Why have you not met with any of those communities?” he asked.

Anandasangaree said he was “concerned (about) every incidence of hate at any place, including churches,” but stopped short of promising anything.

He was also asked about allegations that a government employee who works on a local military base near Montreal was the one responsible for throwing smoke bombs into a church service this summer.

Anandasangaree said he is “concerned” about these allegations but did not add any other context.

Canadian Conservative pro-life and pro-family MP Leslyn Lewis called out the hypocrisy of a new Liberal “hate” speech bill recently for being silent regarding rising “Christian hate,” because it does not even mention church arson.

Hate-motivated attacks against Christians are on the rise in Canada. In 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some Canadian residential schools. The reality is, after four years, there have been no mass graves discovered at residential schools.

However, as the claims went unfounded, since the spring of 2021, over 120 churches, most of them Catholic, many of them on indigenous lands that serve the local population, have been burned to the ground, vandalized, or defiled in Canada.

The Canadian media has been rather silent on the church burnings.

The government-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) went as far as blaming the fact that it has not covered the arson attacks much on “staffing shortage.

Indeed, the absence of reports about church burnings was uncovered by former CRTC chair Peter Menzies, who could not find any information on the recent arson attack against All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox in Bellis, Alberta.

Florida teens credited for averting school shooting plot in Washington state

Two teenage boys in Florida are being called heroes for their response to a five-second TikTok video last month that may well have averted disaster all the way across the country.

The video, which has since been taken down, reportedly showed plans for a mass school shooting at Kamiakin High School in Kennewick, Wash.

“The contents of the TikTok were a map of a high school, and it had classrooms that were identified and labeled as targets,” said Kennewick School Board member Brittany Gledhill in a Thursday interview with The Center Square. “It had other classrooms that were labeled as potential targets. It had labeled exits, and it had the security department of the school listed as a potential threat.”

The map in the video did not indicate the location or name of the school.

“But this young man who lives in Florida decided to show it to a brother, and then together they decided that they needed to tell the authorities,” Gledhill said.

She explained that local authorities in Florida contacted the FBI, and within hours, the investigation was underway to determine the TikTok poster’s location.

That was September 19, a Friday.

“We got involved on Sunday, so that we were able to sweep the campus and provide a secure and safe environment for our students and staff, and that was in conjunction with KPD, or Kennewick police department,” said Kennewick School District Superintendent Lance Hansen.

At that point, the suspect, a 14-year-old Kamiakin High School freshman, was already in custody.

According to the Tri-City Herald, the FBI was able to match the layout and room numbers shown in the TikTok video to Kamiakin High School, and at that point, the FBI contacted the internet provider about the IP address linked to the account.

Officials were able to narrow down the location to a few dozen potential residences in Kennewick, and according to the Herald, law enforcement further narrowed the list based on the times the TikTok account was active.

The address was further narrowed to the boy’s home, where he reportedly lived with his grandparents, and more than two dozen firearms were located.

Hansen told The Center Square that officials believe the young man was most likely to carry out his plan had the boys in Florida not done the right thing.

“It was smart and courageous at the same time, and I think that they can be an example or model for others who may see something and think it’s not a big deal. Just the thought that they would recognize this isn’t right and have the courage to speak up … that’s really where I believe the story is,” Hansen said.

Gledhill said the school board, administration and staff members from Kamiakin High School are putting together a gift basket and thank-you notes for the boys in Florida who reported the TikTok post to authorities.

“We averted a terrible tragedy because of these two young men,” she said. “This is my home high school, and I have two of my own children [who] go to that school.”

Hansen said the school community is still reeling from what could have happened, but is also trying to find a lesson in it.

“In times where information can flow so quickly and there’s some level of anonymity that is created in ways that we communicate, like with social media, it sometimes creates some boldness in youth, which I think is a false positive,” he said. “I mean, there are benefits to the way that we communicate, and there [are] some unintended consequences of that. Having said that, as I reminded our parents, every person who’s on a campus is responsible for the safety of the campus. That’s students, staff, whoever is there. So that model … needs to be applied for everything.”

Given that the accused is 14, he is being charged as a juvenile. Assuming he pleads guilty or is convicted, he could only be confined until he turns 21.
