SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 2 -- Zoilo Taveras when
he was arrested on February 28
in The Bronx had six aliases
and a set of surgically
altered fingerprints.
He had been
deported to the Dominican
Republic in 2000 after serving
time on a narcotics
conviction.
Then in 2020 he
was "encountered" at the Bronx
residence by the New York
Joint Criminal Alien Removal
Task Force.
That day,
February 12, Taveras
"consented to an interview and
provided pedigree information
[and] that he has surgically
altered his fingerprints" -
this according to a Complaint
by ICE Deportation Officer
Brian Figueiredo and signed by
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
on February 27, 2020.
The next
morning at 9 am Taveras was
arrested, and presented before
Judge Cave at 3 pm. Taveras
was assigned Federal Defender
Zawadi Baharanyi, who for her
client consented to detention
without prejudice to making a
future bail application.
As the end
of March 2, the case had yet
to be wheeled out to a
District Judge, and Taveras
remained in detention. The
case is US v. Taveras,
20-mj-2236 (Cave).
