Is he here legally? If not, he should be deported immediately.
Is there any indication that he was here illegally, at all?
Or are you just obsessed with immigrants since Trump said they’re rapists?
He will do again when he gets out .
Repeat offender, he probably abused his own family
always perverts on the trains
Thank you NYPD for catching this child predator
These predators should be behind bars for a long time,
These animals are repeat offenders
He’s probably a child molester
And this is why the police should be on the platforms and or on the trains.
