The video shows a migrant grinning after receiving a one-year prison term for striking a police officer

Description:

Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, a migrant, was given a one-year jail sentence for his role in the January 27 brutal attack on two police officers in Times Square. In return for a year in Rikers Island, he agreed to a plea bargain and pled guilty to a charge of second-degree assault. There are still five suspects pending trial. At his sentence, Gomez-Izquiel, who had only been in the United States for five months prior to the attack, grinned. This case brings up issues about New York's sanctuary city policy and the necessity of amending it to let police and ICE to work together in the event that a migrant commits a crime.
