New York City Councilman Robert Holden is joining calls for a group of illegal immigrant suspects charged with assaulting a pair of NYPD officers to be deported if they are criminally convicted.
The pair of NYPD officers had been attempting to break up a disorderly crowd near Times Square on Jan. 27. The situation devolved into a brawl as the officers attempted to make an arrest and wrestle an individual to the crowd, several other members of the crowd were seen on camera standing over the officers to shove, kick, and stomp them.
