A NYC council employee was arrested by ICE for visa overstay despite having valid work authorization.
Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a member of the New York City Council, was arrested by federal immigration authorities on January 12, 2026, while attending a regular court appearance in Nassau County.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, he lacked legal status, had a prior assault arrest, and overstayed a 2017 tourist visa.
He had a valid work authorization until October 2026 and was adhering to immigration regulations, according to city officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin, who denounced the arrest as unfair and an overreach.
Calls for his release and worries about how public employees are treated have been raised in response to the incident, which has drawn criticism of federal immigration enforcement.
