Concern over a high-profile rape case involving an undocumented migrant in Coney Island.
A Nicaraguan national named Daniel Davon-Bonilla allegedly raped a woman at knifepoint in Coney Island, while his accomplice assaulted her boyfriend when he tried to intervene (“Deport Migrant Criminals,” Editorial, Aug. 13).
This incident appears to be part of a troubling pattern. It is imperative for Mayor Adams and Gov. Hochul to take decisive action to address this serious issue.
Migrants who commit violent crimes such as robbery, shootings, assaults, rape, and murder should face deportation.
There is a concerning rise in violent crimes committed by illegal migrants across New York.
Local and federal governments need to take notice and implement necessary measures to address this issue.
Migrant gangs that prey on unsuspecting individuals should be targeted as well.
Politicians need to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete actions.

Yet another horrific crime has occurred in New York City, this time involving a violent sexual assault.
What is particularly troubling is that both accused offenders entered the country illegally, with one having a prior history of sexual offenses.
Due to lenient policies of New York’s DAs, many of those arrested for such crimes spend minimal time in jail.

ICE is already overwhelmed with the influx of illegal migrants crossing the border, making it challenging to monitor cities across the country.
The responsibility lies with the DA to ensure enforcement of laws and regulations.
Those advocating for immigration and sanctuary cities should be held accountable for the consequences of their policies.

New York City’s increasing issues with drugs, crime, and disorder are disheartening.
Could Governor Hochul leverage her executive authority to remove District Attorney Alvin Bragg and others who fail to fulfill their duties?
This action could potentially have a positive impact on the city.

Proposed legislation that would mandate NYPD officers to obtain their own liability insurance.
With City Council creating obstacles for law enforcement in New York, the idea of requiring individual officers to carry liability insurance is seen as an unnecessary burden and potential issue for the department (“Pol eyes liability insurance for cops,” Aug. 11).
Implementing this requirement, if adopted, would hinder the city’s ability to attract highly qualified candidates.
It’s important to address the root cause of the issue, which includes unwarranted lawsuits that drain taxpayer funds. Settling these lawsuits only encourages more frivolous claims.
Voters need to recognize that their safety is at stake and take action accordingly.

The proposal by Queens Councilmember Nantasha Williams to mandate NYC cops to purchase personal liability insurance is concerning.
Police officers are already underpaid, and this additional financial burden is unjust.
This bill seems to align with the “Defund the Police” movement and is not in the best interest of law enforcement.
