A scathing House Judiciary Committee report excoriated the Biden-Harris administration for springing four illegal migrants from Venezuela who went on to savagely beat a Chicago man unconscious during a knifepoint robbery.
Carlos Carreno-Carreno, 20; Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, 21; Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, 22; and Yonnier Guasamucare-Garcia, 18, all were apprehended by border officials in Texas in 2022 and 2023 — only to be released under President Biden and Vice President Harris’s “radical immigration policies,” according to the panel led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
“The disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have had real-world consequences for American citizens,” read the report released this week, estimating well over 7 million illegal migrants are currently in the United States.
“The effects of those policies will be felt for years to come, with criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harming families and hurting public safety across the country.”
In July 2023, border officials apprehended Carreno-Carreno, but ultimately he was let into the U.S. with a notice to appear in Chicago immigration court in May 2026 after an asylum officer determined there was a reasonable chance he would be “tortured” if sent back to Venezuela, according to the committee report.
Guasamucare-Garcia, meanwhile, told border officials in September 2022 he was seeking a better life in the United States with his grandmother, according to the report.
Officials processed him as an unaccompanied child and released him to a sponsor a month later.
Border officials apprehended Gutierrez-Sierra and Loyo-Rodriguez in July 2023 and September 2023, respectively, but the migrants were both let go “due to a lack of space” to hold them — despite Department of Homeland Security data showing they had detention capacity for the pair, according to the congressional report.
Border Patrol even warned Loyo-Rodriguez was “likely to abscond” before officials set him free, the report noted.
“Every community in the country suffers from the consequences of the Biden-Harris border crisis and the Biden-Harris Administration’s lack of immigration enforcement,” the report warned, ripping the White House for its paper-thin criminal screening process for illegal border crossers — including the four Chicago assailants.
In February, the foursome was arrested in the Windy City after violently attacking and robbing a 49-year-old straphanger on a commuter train. Guasamucare-Garcia allegedly placed the unnamed victim in a chokehold, knocking him out.
The group then rifled through his pockets and stole $400 along with a cell phone — all while holding a knife to the unconscious man’s throat, according to police and video of the assault.
The heinous crime occurred while three of the men — Carreno-Carreno, Loyo-Rodriguez, and Guasamucare-Garcia — had been on pretrial release for allegedly shoplifting just weeks prior, according to the report.
“The Judiciary Committee continues to produce report after report on Kamala Harris’s failed border policies and the horrible crimes that illegal aliens have committed throughout the country, and it’s clear that the ‘Border Czar’ would rather hide from the chaos at the border than fix it,” Judiciary spokesman Russell Dye told The Post.
“You’re not safe with her in charge.”
Harris could have helped prevent the Venezuelan migrants’ crimes and others during her 2021 trip to Mexico and Guatemala had she pushed the nations’ governments to bolster their own migrant deterrence efforts, said Art Arthur, resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“With both the Mexican and Guatemalan governments, she discussed them tightening their own internal enforcement, [and] that never happened,” he said.
“Had she been more persuasive, had we pushed the issue with two of our largest trading partners, they would have tightened up their own enforcement,” he added.
The White House and a rep for Harris did not respond to requests for comment.
