A wanted felon and illegal alien is arrested by the NYPD for possessing forged documents, but they release him without notifying ICE or giving any opportunity for a detainer order.
Instead of being able to take him from NYPD custody into ICE custody, they have to pursue him to his home
They arrive and try to arrest the guy, but he violently struggles with them and his family comes out to join the fray- his "wife's boyfriend" gets tased while trying to attack the officers, and his "wife's boyfriend's son" also attacks the officers, tries to grab a gun from the cops, which goes off in the struggle- unclear who fired it or whether it was intention- and gets shot in the hand, with the bullet richocheting and hitting him in the face. The illegal alien they were trying to detain runs into his home and barricades himself, with one wrist still handcuffed. They had to wait for the NYPD to show up to clear him out of his house.

NBC's framing of the story?

A New York City man who’s now been arrested 139 times thanked Democrats for guaranteeing his immediate release despite repeatedly swiping hundreds of dollars from unsuspecting subway commuters since the state’s new bail reform law went into effect Jan. 1.

Charles Barry, 56, has been arrested six times since the start of this year. He’s been released each time without having to post bail under New York’s new bail reform law since his alleged offenses were nonviolent, the New York Daily News reported. In the past, Barry’s served several stints in state prison and has a lengthy record, including six felonies, 87 misdemeanors and 21 missed court hearings, the newspaper reported, citing court records.

“Bail reform, it’s lit!” Barry yelled to reporters Thursday outside the NYPD Transit District 1 headquarters in the Columbus Circle station before officers transported him to Manhattan Central Booking.“It’s the Democrats! The Democrats know me and the Republicans fear me. You can’t touch me! I can’t be stopped!”

After his most recent arrest Thursday, Barry was held in custody for about 36 hours until his Saturday morning arraignment hearing in his Manhattan Criminal Court. He was then released before trial without paying bail. He had two warrants out for his arrest for missing court dates related to past alleged subway theft, including one instance in January when he allegedly snatched a $50 bill out of a woman’s hand while she was trying to buy a Metro card at a Bryant Park station machine.

Officers arrested him Thursday after he was spotted jumping a subway turnstile in Penn Station. Barry, a career criminal, has repeatedly duped subway-goers by dressing as MTA officials and robbing people after offering to help them buy their tickets, police said.

“I’m famous! I take $200, $300 a day of your money, cr----r! You can’t stop me!” Barry shouted to reporters. “It’s a great thing. It’s a beautiful thing. They punk’ed people out for bullsh-- crimes.”

Guy is gonna get his ass kicked some day. I'm not particularly worried.

If it ended with him stabbing some college co-ed to death when she doesn't give him her phone, would we be okay with him being released without bail and handed $50 + swag every time he committed his previous 139 crimes?

Sounds like the kind of thing a fox reporter would make up.
