In the aftermath of the Times Square attack on January 27, seven suspects have been indicted and appeared in court on a superseding indictment Friday morning. The Manhattan District Attorney's office sought high bail for a group of illegal immigrants charged with assaulting two NYPD officers near Times Square last month, following public outrage over their initial no-bail release.

At their arraignment, each of the suspects pleaded not guilty to the charges. In a notable shift, one of the suspects, a suspected Venezuelan gang member who was ordered to leave the country last year, saw his bail set at $1. This decision allows him to avoid immediate deportation while remaining in custody.

Yorman Reveron, 24, one of the four suspects who allegedly skipped town after their previous release, had bail set at $100,000 or $250,000 bond. Meanwhile, further investigation was requested by prosecutors into the release of Yohenry Brito, 24, whose $15,000 bail was unexpectedly posted by an unknown source earlier in the week. Brito's defense attorney claimed the funds originated from a bail-fund group. Consequently, the judge returned him to jail after noting his involvement in four criminal cases within just eight months of being in the U.S.

Kelvin Servita-Arocha, 19, an illegal immigrant and suspected member of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TdA), initially received no bail for allegedly kicking a radio away from police during the assault. While the defense requested $1 bail, prosecutors sought his remand without bail. The judge is currently weighing whether to set his bail at $15,000 or $50,000 bond, pending a motions hearing scheduled for April 2. Servita-Arocha will remain in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) until that date.

Wilson Omar Juarez-Aguilarte, 21, another illegal immigrant and suspected TdA member, was supposed to be deported a year ago. His defense attorney highlighted that he has a two-year-old child and has been sending money back to his child's mother in Venezuela. The judge set his bail at $1 due to charges of evidence tampering, as he allegedly swapped clothes with Brito and Reveron after the attack. Juarez-Aguilarte is not expected to pay the bail and will instead avoid deportation while in custody on Rikers Island.

Lastly, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, a 19-year-old who has been in the U.S. for just five months, appeared in court. He was released in the police-assault case only to be accused of stealing $600 worth of merchandise from a Macy's store two weeks later. In response to the prosecution's request, the judge granted bail of $100,000 or $250,000 bond.

These developments mark a significant turning point in the legal proceedings for the seven suspects involved in the Times Square attack. While some have been granted bail, rumors of possible deportation delays loom as the judicial system navigates the complexities of each case. As the legal process unfolds, all eyes remain on the next court hearings, which will shed further light on the fate of those allegedly responsible for the assault near Times Square.
