Sanctuary state New York has a problem and so does sanctuary state California: Venezuelan thugs, now dubbed “asylum-seekers” who severely beat two New York City police officers in broad daylight in Manhattan a couple days ago are on the loose.

After fleeing the scene following what appeared to be an unprovoked attack on the two cops, seven Venezuelan thugs were eventually apprehended with one remaining at large. Good luck finding him. The migrant shelter where they were believed to be staying near Times Square is best described as a migrant hellhole reminiscent of the slums of Caracas, with “drugs, all-night brawls,” featuring “knives, big sticks being swung at each other” as cops stand around, to read the account in the New York Post.

As for the ones who were caught, they were let out on the “honor system” with zero bail posted. At least two of the Venezuelan thugs gave the double-middle-fingers as they exited the court.
