An illegal alien from Colombia who pled guilty to rape last week has reached a shocking plea agreement with the office of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
According to the terms of the agreement, Nicol Suarez, a 31-year-old biological male who identifies as transgender, would be sentenced to six months, a sentence he has already served while awaiting trial, in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree rape. In New York, second-degree rape typically results in two to seven years behind bars.
'Six months in jail for raping a child is a gross miscarriage of justice.'
The accusations against Suarez are heinous. On February 11, 2025, Suarez was walking his dog in East Harlem when he followed a 14-year-old boy into a restroom inside a Bodega and raped him. The boy immediately reported the attack to bystanders in the area, and Suarez was arrested within hours for first-degree rape.
Following the arrest, ICE almost immediately lodged an immigration detainer against Suarez, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 under the Biden administration.
What's more, Suarez has been accused of violent crimes — armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a dangerous weapon — in Massachusetts, and the New York Post also alluded to possible outstanding charges in New Jersey.
The Trump Department of Homeland Security has slammed the lenient plea deal, calling the offered six-month sentence "insane."
"This plea deal is a disgrace. Six months in jail for raping a child is a gross miscarriage of justice. This pervert was let into our country by the Biden administration and then again released from jail following his arrests for armed robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and prostitution," said acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
According to the DHS, the New York Department of Corrections has agreed to honor the ICE detainer and "not release this child rapist into American communities." Suarez is scheduled to be sentenced officially on April 27.
Bragg's office and the New York Department of Corrections did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News, though the Daily Mail published this statement from Bragg's office: "We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction."
According to the Daily Mail, the DA's office claimed that the plea agreement was made after consulting with the victim's family and to spare the victim from having to testify.

President Donald Trump’s lawyers are demanding the release of all communications between Michael Cohen and New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office after Cohen claims he was “compelled and coerced” to testify against Trump.
Cohen, Trump's former attorney who testified against the president twice, published an article on his Substack in mid-January titled "When Politics Blind Justice." In this piece, Cohen described how government lawyers made him the "key witness" in two cases against Trump.
'In sum, the NYAG is blocking any discovery into, and possibly even preservation of, evidence of the "pressured and coerced" testimony that it used to convince the trial court to enter a wrongful judgment against Defendants.'
"From the time I first began meeting with lawyers from the Manhattan DA's Office and the New York Attorney General's Office in connection with their investigations of President Trump, and through the trials themselves, I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump," Cohen wrote.
He stated that prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office first approached him in 2019. At that time, Cohen was serving a three-year prison sentence, and he "wanted to do whatever" he could to return home to his family and resume his life. Cohen acknowledged that one of the first questions he posed to prosecutors was how he would benefit from cooperating with them.
He was released in September 2020 and permitted to serve out the remainder of his sentence in home confinement.
"After my release, I continued to meet with prosecutors and hoped that, in exchange for my cooperation, my home confinement and later my supervised release sentence would be shortened," Cohen wrote. "During my time with prosecutors, both in preparation for and during the trials, it was clear they were interested only in testimony from me that would enable them to convict President Trump."
He claimed that prosecutors asked "inappropriate leading questions to elicit answers that supported their narrative."
Cohen described a similar experience with Attorney General Letitia James' civil case against Trump.
"Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump," Cohen continued. "Her office made clear that the testimony they wanted from me was testimony that would help them do just that. Again, I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking."
He accused James and Bragg of sharing "the same playbook" and sacrificing their credibility by blurring "the line between justice and politics."
"You may reasonably ask why I am speaking out now. The answer is simple. I have witnessed firsthand the damage done when prosecutors pick their target first and then seek evidence to fit a predetermined narrative," Cohen added.
A mid-level appeals court in August threw out James' $454 million penalty against Trump, which grew to $500 million with interest. James appealed that decision in September.
In Bragg's case, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts in 2024. However, he received an unconditional discharge, meaning that while the convictions stand, he did not face any punishment. Trump has since filed an appeal to have those convictions removed from his record.

On Wednesday, Trump's attorneys sent a demand letter to James' office, requesting all records of communications with Cohen, the New York Post reported. It is unclear whether a similar request was made to Bragg's office.
Trump's attorneys argued that Cohen's communications with James' prosecutors "would have been vital for Defendants to use in crossexamining" him during the trial, according to the news outlet. They claimed that her office "never produced any of the Cohen Records concerning its meetings with Cohen about President Trump and his businesses, despite Defendants' documented demands that the NYAG do so."
"In emails and a meet-and-confer, the NYAG has taken the untenable position that (i) the NYAG 'doesn't know' whether such Cohen Records exist (i.e., it has no idea whether it has records of its communications with its key witness); (ii) the NYAG will not even take a short amount of time to determine whether it possesses any Cohen Records, apparently because, in the NYAG's mistaken view, discovery is over," Trump's attorneys wrote, the Post reported.
They expressed concern that these records may be "automatically deleted and purged," as James has been "unwilling to take any steps to confirm whether such Cohen Records are being preserved."
"In sum, the NYAG is blocking any discovery into, and possibly even preservation of, evidence of the 'pressured and coerced' testimony that it used to convince the trial court to enter a wrongful judgment against Defendants," Trump's lawyers added.
James' and Bragg's offices did not respond to a request for comment.

Editor’s note: This article discusses mature themes. Naturally The New York Times is out with its own patently absurd version of events with regard to the Justice Department’s inquiry into E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuits against President Trump. If the “paper of record” is going to keep acting like DOJ investigations are only legitimate when perpetuated […]
Restitution through the 1776 Fund is just, but structural reforms are essential to deter the weaponization of our government institutions.
Every new piece of content from the dying media that casts the current Justice Department as “weaponized” against President Trump’s “political foes” or “political enemies” should serve as a reminder: Democrats haven’t yet got the message that the way they used that same agency during the Biden years can never happen again, and there’s only […]
Media wrongly insist that the pardon clause only applies to federal charges, yet every attempt to narrow the scope of pardons has failed.
A good government group is seeking Justice Department records about a Biden-era official’s role in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s lawfare against then-candidate Donald Trump. In its Wednesday lawsuit, the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) requested the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the DOJ to hand over documents […]
