Warrant for Jumping Bail

Thu, 05/23/2019 - 06:37

A warrant has been issued here for a man arrested in East Hampton Village last month, Edwin Fernando Gomez Llivisaca, 21, whom Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had requested be held in custody. Instead, he was released after bail of $2,000 was posted for him.

During his arraignment on Aug. 17, Rudy Migliore Jr., the prosecuting attorney, told the court that there was an ICE detainer on the man, who is an Ecuadorian citizen. The ICE request, which is on file in East Hampton Justice Court, states that Mr. Gomez Llivisaca “either lacks immigration status, or, notwithstanding such status, is removable under U.S. Immigration Law.” It asks that ICE and the Department of Homeland Security be notified before he could be released, and that he be held, for a maximum of 48 hours, for their arrival. 

The problem for village police, Chief Michael Tracey explained recently, is that the department’s headquarters on Cedar Street is not set up to hold prisoners for more than a few hours. 

Mr. Gomez Llivisaca was to have appeared again in Justice Court on Aug. 31, but never showed up. Justice Stephen Tekulsky announced that the bail would be forfeited and he issued the warrant. Mr. Gomez Llivisaca, who had been charged with facilitating consumption of alcohol by a minor, is now considered a fugitive from justice, said a spokeswoman for ICE, Rachael Yong Yow.
