"Bronx Judge Releases Suspects Who Assaulted Cop Without Bail"

Bronx Criminal Court Judge Eugene Bowen, who previously released two men accused of beating up a police officer, recently set free six suspected migrant squatters arrested on drugs and weapons charges against prosecutors' wishes. This is not the first time Bowen has sparked controversy with such decisions. The judge's lenient approach has drawn criticism from law enforcement officials and experts, who attribute it to New York City's progressive Democratic constituency and criminal justice reform policies.
