NEW: Transgender migrant from Colombia arrested for allegedly r*ping a 14-year-old boy in a bathroom in New York City, according to the New York Post.
30-year-old Nicol Suarez reportedly followed the teen into a bathroom in East Harlem.
Following the alleged assault, the boy "flagged down a witness," according to the outlet.
The outlet reports that Suarez was wanted in New Jersey and Massachusetts at the time of the arrest. It's unclear why.
"ICE could just pick this person up and deport them back. But due to our sanctuary laws we cant do anything," a source told the Post.
Suarez was charged with first-degree r*pe.
Prosecutors requested $500,000 bail and $1.5 million bond; however, liberal Judge Elizabeth Shamahs lowered the amounts to $100,000 bail or $250,000 bond.
