Father of 2 who testified in Brooklyn homicide cases released by ICE
William Siguencia Hurtado testified in two Brooklyn homicide cases, landing five people in prison. His testimony was rewarded with detention in Manhattan, 3,000 miles away from his home country and a borough apart from his wife and two children.
Hurtado, 34, was released by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week and met reporters Tuesday inside the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office to thank his lawyers and Acting DA Eric Gonzalez for fighting on his behalf.
“All of us owe a debt of gratitude to William Hurtado,” Gonzalez said. “William here helped keep Brooklyn safe.”
