A Long Island postal worker helped an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detainee temporarily escape custody outside and tore into agents in two languages, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday.
Tamara Mayorga-Won, 57, allegedly opened the door of an official vehicle in front of the Westhampton Post Office and told a handcuffed detainee in the backseat to run for it before trying to drive away in her own car, court documents said.
Cops caught up with the unidentified detainee and arrested Mayorga-Won after she fled through the building, got into her car in a back parking lot, locked herself and tried to drive away, the records said.
Agents then repeatedly told her to get out of the vehicle before she was forcibly removed, court records claimed.
“Why are you doing this to your people?” she yelled repeatedly to agents in Spanish and English after she was taken into custody, kicking at officers and “flailing her arms,” according to the documents.
She then asked whether the agents were from Mexico and whether they had children, according to the complaint against her.
“What are you going to tell your children about what you do?” she railed, the documents said. --->READ MORE HERE
A post office worker in Westhampton is accused of trying to help a person detained by federal immigration officers escape from custody, according to a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Tamara Mayorga-Wong, 57, of Westhampton Beach, was arrested and charged with obstruction of a federal proceeding.
According to the complaint, on Nov. 5, federal officers, including the Deportation Officers of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arrested an individual on an administrative warrant for violating the Immigration and Nationality Act.
While the individual was being apprehended, the defendant, wearing a USPS mail carrier uniform, approached and demanded to see the arrest warrant, the complaint alleges.
After the individual was placed in the backseat of the law enforcement vehicle, the defendant ran and opened the door, and instructed the person to flee in Spanish, the complaint alleges. The individual tried to escape, but was apprehended again and detained.
The defendant then went to her own vehicle and tried to drive away, but law enforcement officers blocked her off, the complaint alleges. --->READ MORE HERE
