   Start killing illegals and those who advocate for them.   
      
   A Venezuelan migrant busted on gun and drug charges while squatting with   
   seven others in a Bronx home was sprung by a judge who previously   
   released two men who beat a cop, The Post has learned.   
      
   Bronx Criminal Court Judge Eugene Bowen, a Democrat who ran unopposed in   
   2023, freed Hector Desousa-Villalta despite prosecutors asking the   
   jurist to set bail in the case, records show.   
      
   He was arrested after someone called 911 to report that he allegedly   
   flashed a gun at another man outside the home last week.   
      
   In November, Bowen, 48, released two men allegedly caught on video   
   beating a cop who’d asked them to put out their cigarettes inside a   
   Bronx subway station.   
      
   Kaream McClary, 23, and Izayiah Jessamy, 20, were hit with assault   
   charges for allegedly beating up Officer John Hernandez at the Freeman   
   Street station Nov. 13, according to court documents and the NYPD.   
      
   Bronx prosecutors requested bail set at $10,000 cash or $30,000 bond for   
   them — but Bowen set them free with zero bail, according to court   
   records.   
      
   “Our failing criminal justice system is creating an incredibly dangerous   
   environment for both cops and the communities we protect,” Police   
   Benevolent Association President Pat Hendry told The Post.   
      
   “Judges have the authority to keep criminals who attack cops or carry   
   illegal guns off the streets,” he added. “They are finding every excuse   
   not to use it. New York City police officers are doing our job. Judges   
   need to start doing theirs.”   
      
   Bowen wrote in a survey at BallotPedia.org that as a public defender   
   with the Legal Aid Society of NYC he “won the dismissals of hundreds of   
   cases, reversals of convictions obtained unlawfully, and I negotiated   
   countless favorable dispositions that spared my clients jail, onerous   
   probation or parole requirements, and the potential loss of employment,   
   immigration status, parental rights or housing.”   
      
   “Most importantly, I made certain that my clients’ voices and concerns   
   were heard, and their rights respected and protected,” he wrote.   
      
   The call about Desousa-Villalta allegedly flashing a gun at 3259 Hull   
   Avenue on March 27 led to the arrest of eight migrants who were in   
   possession of four guns, ammo and drugs, cops said.   
      
   Desousa-Villalta was cut loose on supervised release despite the   
   district attorney’s request that Bowen set bail at $150,000 cash or   
   $450,000 bond, records show. Charges against him were still pending.   
      
   Prosecutors argued in court that Desousa-Villalta had “a loaded firearm   
   in hand at the time of arrest” in the Bronx and an open attempted murder   
   case against him in Yonkers. But the defense argued that he was released   
   after three months of being in jail and no new court date was set in   
   Yonkers. NYPD officials said the victim in that case declined to   
   participate.   
      
   Office of Court Administration spokesman Al Baker said his office   
   doesn’t comment on bail decisions and that judges “have discretion in   
   making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an   
   individualized assessment of a defendant’s risk of flight.”   
      
   Desousa-Villalta, 24, was picked up at the house again on Wednesday —   
   this time by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — with two other   
   migrants and is facing deportation, federal officials said.   
      
   Also arrested at the home, Javier Alborno, 22, was allegedly in   
   possession of a semi-automatic pistol, cops said.   
      
   Alborno had been arrested in September on a weapons possession charge   
   and was cut free with no bail, police said.   
      
   This time, he was sent to Rikers Island jail on $100,000 bail with   
   charges pending, records show.   
      
   But NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell was angry that his cops were   
   confronted by the gun-toting migrants just a week after Police Officer   
   Jonathan Diller, posthumously promoted to detective, was shot by an   
   armed repeat-offender.   
      
   The two suspects in that case — alleged shooter 34-year-old Guy Rivera   
   and accomplice 41-year-old Lindy Jones — had long lists of priors.   
      
   “Why are we confronting people with guns again that shouldn’t have   
   them?” Chell fumed at a news conference Wednesday. “Why is a person   
   locked up for a firearm out on the street?”   
      
   It wasn’t clear how the men got the guns and the drugs or if they were   
   involved in a gang, cops said.   
      
   Who cares?  Kill them.
