Partner of Adams admin official grabbed by ICE has criminal convictions, landed job at city hospital
After Nathaniel Rojas, the romantic partner of a top-ranking Adams administration official, was detained by ICE in August, President Trump’s administration said it was taking the drastic step of trying to revoke his green card and deport him to his native Dominican Republic because of a criminal record.
Trump officials, whose aggressive immigration crackdown has targeted both documented and undocumented individuals, provided few details about Rojas’ criminal or personal history.
But court records obtained by the Daily News show Rojas has several convictions, including on charges alleging that, while working at a Manhattan Jeep dealership in 2017, he stole a customer’s identity to illegally lease a vehicle for himself, swept another customer’s credit card from her purse and drove drunk with a child in the vehicle.
Despite his criminal record, The News has also learned Rojas landed a job this year at a city government-run hospital whose CEO has been pictured attending birthday parties and otherwise socializing with Rojas’ partner, Wendy Garcia, a city Correction Department deputy commissioner.
