The US Department of Homeland Security slammed the six-month plea deal Manhattan prosecutors struck with a trans illegal immigrant who sexually assaulted a teenager in a New York bodega — calling it a “disgrace.”
Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old transgender woman from Colombia, pleaded guilty in court this week to viciously assaulting the 14-year-old boy in East Harlem in a 2025 attack.
In exchange, Contreras-Suarez was promised a slap on the wrist in the form of a six-month prison sentence — and won’t have to spend any more time behind bars due to time served.
The sweetheart deal has left the DHS furious, as Contreras-Suarez was wanted in New Jersey and Massachusetts at the time of the assault, and was already the subject of an ICE detainer in those states.
“This plea deal is a disgrace. 6 months in jail for raping a child is a gross miscarriage of justice,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement to The Post.
“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,” she said.
Contreras-Sanchez was arrested in March 2023 by US Customs and Border Protection after she illegally entered the US in San Ysidro, California — and was released into the country under then-President Joe Biden, federal officials have said.
The illegal immigrant, who was born male, was later arrested for armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a dangerous weapon in Medford, Mass., but then released, according to the feds.
“The horror story of Contreras-Suarez illustrates how open-border and sanctuary politicians endanger Americans,” Bis said.
“Under President Trump and [DHS] Secretary [Markwayne] Mullin, we will continue to put the safety of Americans first and fight to get criminal illegal aliens like this out of our communities to no longer prey and victimize innocent children,” she said.
Contreras-Suarez’s lenient plea deal with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has also left legal experts baffled as they pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, which usually carries a penalty of between two and seven years in prison.
According to the criminal complaint, Contreras-Suarez, who was walking a white Pomeranian dog at the time, followed the victim into a bodega bathroom across from Thomas Jefferson Park on Feb. 11, 2025, before attacking and sexually assaulting him.
The boy flagged down bystanders after the attack, and Contreras-Suarez was arrested the next day and charged.
DA Alvin Bragg’s office said the resolution was reached in close consultation with the victim’s family, sparing the teenager from having to testify and that they expect Contreras-Suarez to be deported following the April 27 sentencing.
