Boyfriend of Adams administration official detained by ICE under mysterious circumstances [View all]
The romantic partner of a senior city corrections official was detained by immigration agents last month in the Bronx amid what is perhaps a watershed moment in the Big Apple’s conflict over President Trump’s immigration crackdown, the Daily News has learned.
Nathaniel Rojas, a native of the Dominican Republic who’s allegedly undocumented, was hauled away by ICE agents Aug. 28 in Riverdale from the apartment he shares with Wendy Garcia, who has been the city Department of Correction’s deputy commissioner for development and advancement since February, according to records and law enforcement sources.
Rojas was taken to 26 Federal Plaza and whisked up to an Orange County jail where he has remained over the past two weeks, records show. Garcia was present during Rojas’ arrest, the sources said.
The day he was detained, Rojas’ lawyer Reuben Kerben filed a habeas corpus lawsuit in federal court against ICE as well as Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, court records show. The file is sealed and pending.
