Of Six Charged with Cutting Into BofA ATM and Impersonating ICE 1 in from ICE Detention by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 31 – Six defendants are charged with cutting into a Bank of America ATM machine and stealing $500,000, as well as attempting armed robberies by impersonating ICE officers and sticking up a restaurant on Second Street in Manhattan.    On March 31 one of them was transferred from immigration custody and presented in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Court. Inner City Press was there.     While some co-defendants got bail packages, this one did not, due to the immigration issue or perhaps great involvement - the complaint and indictment does not make clear.   Initially complaint was only about a BofA ATM branch on West 147th Street and Broadway, and has photos of the cuts in the wall. The subsequent indictment added more charges, and more defendants.   The overall case is USA v. Nikac, 1:26-cr-113 (Vyskocil) *** Your support means a lot.
