Alpha Bah, a Guinea national, was taken into custody after agents with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations set up surveillance near his last known residence. Upon spotting Bah, agents began trailing him and eventually took him into custody without incident.
Officials say that Bah had originally been arrested on October 7 for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and intent to obtain transportation without paying.
He was released from NYPD custody despite ICE placing a detainer request.
