New York City’s Democrat socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is “outraged” over federal officials detaining a city council staffer accused of overstaying his visa after being involved in an assault case.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified the man as 53-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, Fox News reported Monday.

In a statement, New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin claimed, “He had legal authorization to remain in the country until October of this year,” but DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said, “He had no legal right to be in the United States. Under Secretary Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States. If you come to our country illegally and break our law, we will find you, and we will arrest you.”
Menin further claimed DHS said the man was at a routine court appointment when he was detained and that he had voluntarily arrived at court when asked to do so.
Fox 5 reported Rubio Bohorquez is a Venezuelan national. He was reportedly working for the council as a data analyst.
“According to DHS, Rubio Bohorquez entered the U.S. on a B-2 tourist visa in 2017 and was required to leave the country by Oct. 22 of that year,” the outlet said, adding, “They say he overstayed the visa and had no work authorization and that his criminal history includes an arrest for assault.”
