The four illegal migrants arrested and charged with violently attacking
New York City police officers and released without bail have reportedly
fled to California, a sanctuary state.
Its unclear whether the Golden State will work with the state of New York
to return the men to be prosecuted for their alleged crimes or whether the
Department of Homeland Security will work to deport the individuals.
California law restricts state officers from assisting U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in deporting migrants. There are also
numerous taxpayer-funded programs from which illegal migrants generally
can benefit.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in January California would begin providing
health care coverage to an additional 764,000 illegal immigrants on top of
the 1.1 million already in the Medi-Cal system, Californias version of
Medicaid.
California has been incrementally adding illegal immigrants to the Medi-
Cal program since 2015. That was the year it made undocumented children
eligible. Four years later, it added adults 50 and older.
The expansion means illegal immigrants will also be eligible for hormone
and sex-change surgeries subsidized by taxpayer dollars.
Nearly 700,000 illegal immigrants between the ages of 26 and 49 qualify,
as of Jan. 1, for these federal health care services, which will cost
California taxpayers an estimated $3.1 billion. For those living in
California illegally within this age range, it translates to approximately
$4,058 per year in medical coverage subsidies funded by the state's
general fund.

Illegal immigrants can also pay in-state tuition and be eligible for
financial aid for state schools.
CalFresh, the states federally funded food assistance program, expanded
its eligibility requirements to include illegals age 55 and over to
receive food benefits.

IMMIGRANTS
California also has a program called Cash Assistance Program for
Immigrants (CAPI), which is "a 100 percent state-funded program designed
to provide monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, and disabled non-citizens
who are ineligible for Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary
Payment (SSI/SSP) solely due to their immigration status."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Newsom's office for comment.
Four migrants caught and released after allegedly attacking two New York
City police officers near Times Square have reportedly fled to California.
The New York Post, citing a law enforcement source, said authorities
believe Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson
Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24, skipped town after the incident.
Police believe the foursome successfully got on a bus bound for California
on Wednesday after giving fake names to a church-affiliated nonprofit
group that helps migrants leave the Big Apple, the Post reported.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for New York's Office
of Court Administration said the office was unaware of the whereabouts of
Arocha, Juarez, Reveron and Izquiel.
