A Colombian national who entered the U.S. illegally and was released under Biden’s “catch and release” policy is now facing child rape charges in New York. The transgender illegal immigrant has a history of violent offenses and was previously released in a sanctuary city despite serious prior arrests.
Key Facts:
- Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a Colombian man identifying as a woman, entered the U.S. illegally in March 2023 via San Ysidro, California.
- Contreras-Suarez was released under the Biden administration’s “catch and release” policy.
- He was later arrested in Massachusetts for armed robbery, prostitution, and assault but released due to sanctuary policies.
- Now charged in New York with first-degree rape of a child under 17 and stalking; a preliminary hearing is underway with a Supreme Court date set for September 10.
- ICE has lodged an immigration detainer; Contreras-Suarez is currently held at Rikers Island.
The Rest of The Story:
Contreras-Suarez’s illegal entry in 2023 marked the beginning of a troubling timeline.
Despite being apprehended at the border, he was released into the U.S., where he committed multiple crimes.
His record includes armed robbery and assault in Massachusetts. Authorities were unable to detain him due to local sanctuary laws.
The most serious charge came recently in New York, where he is accused of raping a minor and stalking.
The Department of Homeland Security called these acts “horrific and preventable.”
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “This creep should’ve never been released into our country.”
Contreras-Suarez is now in custody at Rikers Island and will face the New York Supreme Court in September.
ICE has emphasized its commitment to removing dangerous criminals, even as the agency endures backlash from progressive lawmakers and activists.

Commentary:
This case exposes the utter failure of the Biden administration’s border and immigration policies.
Allowing dangerous individuals to roam freely under “catch and release” has led to preventable tragedies like this one.
Contreras-Suarez had already committed serious crimes but was protected by sanctuary city policies.
Instead of cooperation with federal law enforcement, officials in places like Massachusetts chose to shield a violent offender.
The result: a child in New York became his next victim.
The fact that ICE had to issue a detainer after this criminal had already committed multiple crimes is unacceptable.
He should have never made it past the initial border arrest, let alone have been released twice.
This is not just a policy failure—it’s a national disgrace.
Thankfully, leaders like Gov. Kristi Noem and federal officers who still believe in the rule of law are working to take these criminals off the streets.
Without them, predators like Contreras-Suarez would continue to slip through the cracks.
The Bottom Line:
Contreras-Suarez’s release and subsequent crimes are the direct result of failed federal and local immigration policies.
Sanctuary laws and Biden’s “catch and release” approach created an opening for tragedy.
Despite progressive resistance, ICE is pursuing justice.
This case should serve as a wake-up call: criminal illegals must be deported before they can do harm.
