Six migrants accused of assaulting police officers in Times Square have fled to California and are suspected of being part of a larger conspiracy involving the use of stolen phones to make purchases using Apple Pay. Immigration warrants have been issued for those who fled, and authorities believe the activities are organized and gang-related. The group may have ties to the gang Tren de Aragua from Venezuela.

Seven migrants have been arrested in connection with the assault, and six more are being sought.
