Kathy Hochul’s pardon travesty lifts immigrant criminals over Americans’ safety

How far will New York Gov. Kathy Hochul go to keep immigrant criminals in this country?

So far she’ll even pardon a man convicted of an aggravated felony, if that’s what it takes to prevent the US Supreme Court from setting a restrictionist precedent.

Keisy Guerrero Mariano is a Dominican who spent two years in prison for committing a violent crime — second-degree assault.

Guerrero Mariano, known as “G.M.” in court documents, is exactly the sort of lawbreaker Americans overwhelmingly want to see deported.

But not Hochul; she granted him clemency on Aug. 28.

His case stood out from those of the other five people she pardoned that day.

The others were non-violent offenders who’d committed their crimes decades ago — two in the 1980s, two in the ’90s, and just one as recently as 2007.

G.M. was convicted in 2015.
