Six of NYC migrant squatter crew set loose without bail after gun and drug bust as neighbors detail chaos on Bronx block

Six of the eight gun-toting, drug-dealing migrant squatters busted last week in the Bronx were cut loose without bail — as frustrated neighbors said Tuesday that the unruly, noise crew brought nothing but trouble to the block.
The NYPD collared the squatters — who set up shop across the street from PS 56 inside a multi-family house on Hull Avenue in the borough’s Norwood section — after one of them pointed a 9 mm CZ pistol at someone on the property last Wednesday night, police officials said.
“I see all the gangsters and wannabe gangsters running around here,” one neighbor told The Post.
“I saw them all hanging out outside and knew they were up to something,” she added.
The alleged gunman, Hector Desousa-Villalta, was cut loose on supervised release Friday evening by Bronx Criminal Court Judge Eugene D. Bowen — despite the district attorney’s request that Bowen set bail at $150,000 cash or $450,000 bond, according to the DA’s office.
The same judge released two other squatters — Yoessy Pino Castillo and Jefferson Orlando Abreau — on their own recognizance after their Friday arraignments, according to the DA’s office and court records.
