Venezuelan migrant begged NYC judge to send him to Rikers to avoid ICE but feds got him anyway
A Venezuelan migrant who begged a judge to send him to Rikers Island to avoid being taken into custody to waiting immigration agents has been turned over to the feds. Nolveiro Vera Ordonez, 30, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court June 4 on petty larceny and possession of stolen property charges for allegedly stealing a bicycle while five masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents waited for him outside the courtroom — prompting him to demand to be locked up. Although the judge complied and ordered him held on $100 'voluntary' bail, Ordonez couldn't outrun the feds forever — he was handed over to the Department of Homeland Security on a federal warrant less than three weeks later, authorities confirmed this week. 3 Nolveiro Vera Ordonez was arraigned on theft charges while ICE agents waited, so he asked to go to Rikers Island. AP 'This individual was released to the Department of Homeland Security on a federal arrest warrant,' a spokesperson for the city Department of Correction said in an email. 'Prior to his release, he paid bail on the local matter.' According to the department, Ordonez was turned over to the feds on June 23. While New York is a migrant-friendly 'sanctuary city,' the law dictates that an inmate may be released to another jurisdiction if corrections officials are presented with 'an immigration detainer supported by probable cause' or has a 'qualifying conviction' for a violent crime over the prior five years. 3 Federal immigration agents have been stalking Big Apple court hearings in masks to nab illegal immigrants. Getty Images Federal sources told The Post that Ordonez was being held at the Brooklyn federal lockup this week after being picked up by US Marshals and is awaiting transfer to Texas. As of late Monday, he was not in ICE custody and was not currently due for deportation, sources said. Ordonez was picked up by police for allegedly stealing a bike, and was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, petty larceny and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. 3 Judge Rachel Salem Pauley called Nolveiro Vera Ordonez's 'voluntary' bail request 'highly unusual.' In court, his public defender attorney asked Judge Rachel Pauley that he be held on $100 bail, citing a quirk in the law that allows a defendant to request bail, although the charges are not eligible for bail under the state's controversial criminal justice reforms. Pauley granted the request despite noting it was 'highly unusual.' However, less than three weeks later Ordonez was turned over to the feds.

WEDNESDAY's Isaac Ordonez on Pugsley Being the Ultimate Outcast and Finding Power
Wednesday season two will be here in two snaps. Well, not that soon. But we are heading back to Nevermore on August 6 to catch up with our favorite little storm cloud. This season, we will get to know more about the other Addams family members, including Wednesday's little brother Pugsley. Sure, he's the butt of many of her deadpan jokes and the subject of her torturous experiments. But Pugsley Addams is coming to Nevermore Academy and he's trying to find his way among a crowd of outcasts. We caught up with Isaac Ordonez to chat about his expanded role in Wednesday season two, working with Tim Burton, and more. Nerdist: Before you joined 's cast, what was your relationship with the Addams family franchise? What made you want to join the series? Isaac Ordonez: I saw the first season of the black and white series. I didn't see the second season because it wasn't on Amazon at the time. Then I saw the movies. I did see the animated movie as well because that has quite a bit of Pugsley and Tim Burton, and I've seen majority of his big movies. I grew up with him. Something I saw that separated Pugsley from the rest of the family members is that he's an outcast among outcasts, but he also had this crazy mischievous mindset. Those are indeed consistent character traits for Pugsley in all his many appearances. Now, in season two, we will get to see Pugsley alongside his sister at Nevermore Academy. What do you think he wants out of that experience? Ordonez: Friends! I think he assumes that because Wednesday is well known and has all these stories that he was going to be so popular. But that's not quite the case. I can see that. The younger sibling who sort of lives in the shadow of their older sibling and wants to forge his own path. And hopefully he can find his way with his newfound powers. How are you hoping that he develops his powers and as a person in the future? Ordonez: We see him use them a lot… This season, I saw pretty big growth in Pugsley. I think he learns a lot of lessons and starts to take things more so for granted. RELATED ARTICLE WEDNESDAY Season 2 Confirms 2-Part Release with New Trailer We cannot wait to see what happens! I'd love for you to talk a little bit more about your filming experience this season. What was it like working with Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton and establishing your place within the set's dynamic? Ordonez: I think working with such big names and such talented people influences how I act. I feel like I get better at my job just by watching them through the monitor and picking up some of this stuff that they're doing. I love it. Jenna is amazing. It sounds like a great experience! You're a part of that talented circle, too. Don't forget that. Ordonez: I appreciate that!

'Happily married' nurse 'crossed the line' texting 'creeped out' teen patient
A nurse who made inappropriate and sexualised comments and sent follow-up text messages to a young female patient attending Beaumont Hospital in Dublin two years ago has been found guilty of professional misconduct. The nurse, Mark Lester Ordonez, admitted to a fitness-to-practise inquiry of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland that he had "crossed the line" in his interactions with the 18-year-old girl when she attended the hospital on June 21, 2023 for a endoscopy procedure but begged to be given a second chance for his "stupid mistake." The NMBI inquiry found five separate allegations of professional misconduct proven against the Filipino nurse which included allegations relating to texts sent later the same day by Mr Ordonez to what he believed was the girl's mobile phone but which actually belonged to her mother. The inquiry chairperson, Mary Leahy, said Mr Ordonez's behaviour represented a serious falling short of the standards expected of a registered nurse and he had "crossed a boundary" by making a serious of personal and inappropriate remarks to a vulnerable, anxious patient and subsequently making unsolicited contact with her by text message. Ms Leahy also said the nurse should not have contacted the patient's mother who had made a legitimate complaint about him, while his actions also represented a breach of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for nurses. In a written statement, the girl – identified only as Patient A – explained she was anxious about doing her Leaving Cert and it was the first time she did not need to be accompanied by one of her parents for an endoscopy as she had turned 18, although her mother was waiting for her in the hospital. Patient A said she was taken aback by the nurse asking her: "Are any boys adding to your stress?" The girl said she tried to laugh it off but felt extremely awkward before the nurse said: "You are too pretty not to have a boyfriend" and "You remind me of my ex-girlfriend in Germany." Patient A said the atmosphere in the room had changed at that stage and she felt "really uncomfortable" and there was an awkward silence. The inquiry heard that the teenager fainted as she was going to have the procedure. After it was finished, Patient A said she wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible and described how her mother was shocked to hear about the nurse's comments on their way home. The girl said she never wanted to be the reason why the nurse lost his job. In a separate statement, Patient A's mother said she did not make too much of what happened at first apart from feeling uncomfortable that the nurse was too old to be looking at her daughter in that way. The woman said she was shopping later that evening when she received a text which appeared to come from Mr Ordonez which mentioned her daughter's name. It read: "Sorry to bother you and can't help myself to look into your number. If you are not happy or comfortable for me to message you just let me know. I'm so sorry again if that's the case." Patient A's mother recalled: "I nearly dropped with shock...I felt sick at the realisation that Mr Ordonez was essentially asking [Patient A] out." The woman said she received another text from Mr Ordonez later that evening which stated: "By the way, what happened to you a while ago is called vasovagal syncope." She said she could not believe the nurse had texted again, while her daughter was "a bit creeped out." The woman said she contacted the hospital the following day to make a complaint. The inquiry heard she contacted Beaumont again the following month after receiving an aggressive text from Mr Ordonez on July 25, 2023 which read: "I hope you are happy now. I got terminated." The inquiry heard that Beaumont Hospital took the decision to end the nurse's probationary period on that date following the complaint in relation to Patient A. Counsel for the NMBI, Miska Hanahoe BL, said the nurse's comments to the patient were inappropriate and of a sexual nature, while he had also inappropriately accessed her medical records to obtain her contact number and send a number of text messages when there was no clinical justification. The inquiry heard Mr Ordonez had offered "heartfelt apologies" to Patient A and her family for his actions but explained he was new to Ireland at the time. The nurse claimed "every day is a learning experience" as he adapted to the culture, rights and responsibilities which operated in Ireland. Mr Ordonez gave evidence that he was a happily married man with a six-year-old son who had moved to Ireland to build a better life for his family. When working in the Philippines, the nurse said he would feel a responsibility to endoscopy patients after work by checking how they were after the procedure and did not realise that GDPR was "such a big issue" in Ireland, although he had received training about it. Asked about his comments to Patient A, Mr Ordonez told his counsel, Bébhinn Murphy BL, that he was just making some joke as he saw the girl was really stressed. Mr Ordonez explained he just tried to "make things light" by appreciating her physique but denied having any sexual or flirtatious intention. He said he sent texts later that evening "out of concern and nothing else" and to give her some information. Mr Ordonez said if he had any other intention he would have asked Patient A if she was free for a coffee. The nurse admitted he had sent the text to the girl's mother the following month as a result of the anger, frustration and anxiety he felt after his employment at Beaumont was terminated. The inquiry heard Mr Ordonez has been employed at St James's Hospital in Dublin since April 2024 where a character reference from one of his managers stated that he was an individual of the highest integrity with an exemplary record, professionally and personally. At the conclusion of the inquiry, Ms Leahy said the fitness-to-practise committee would submit a report to the NMBI board together with a recommended sanction.
