An Ecuadorian immigrant, Wilfrido Alberto Maurath Tacuri, age 49, was arrested in East Hampton for several counts of assault, as reported by local authorities. The East Hampton Town Police Department conducted the investigation and took Tacuri into custody on Friday, charging him with three counts of assault.
According to News12, officers responded to a residence on Muir Boulevard near Three Mile Harbor after a victim reported multiple incidents of assault. Tacuri, an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador, entered the United States at an unspecified date and location, as informed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States,” a DHS spokesperson stated.
Tacuri is currently held at police headquarters and was set to appear in East Hampton Town Justice Court on Friday for arraignment. The investigation by law enforcement continues.
Photographs of Tacuri showed he appeared distressed while in custody. This arrest coincides with East Hampton enacting local laws that limit police collaboration with federal immigration authorities on civil immigration cases.
Earlier, Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) mentioned in June that he might consider withholding $9 million in federal funds for infrastructure enhancements in both East Hampton Town and Village, citing these sanctuary policies.
The East Hampton Town Police Department did not provide comments on the situation.
