The four-time felon, illegal alien, and member of MS-13, arguably the most violent international gang in the world, has been arrested for the execution-style murder of a rival gang member on the platform of a subway station in New York City. So, why did it take so long for the NYPD to release his identity to the public after they arrested him?

Was there a political motivation behind hiding the truth about the violent gang member who belongs to a gang that President Trump refers to its members as, “animals?”

According to the New York Post, he’s an MS-13 gangster and illegal immigrant accused of murdering a rival on a subway platform— but you wouldn’t even recognize him on the street if the NYPD had its way.

Cops bent over backward Tuesday to shield alleged killer Ramiro Gutierrez from public scrutiny after his arrest for Sunday’s broad-daylight slaying in Queens — going so far as to feed reporters bogus information about his whereabouts and claim ignorance on his illegal status hours before President Trump’s State of the Union Addressrenewing his request for a border wall.

Gutierrez, 26, has been in custody since Monday for the execution-style killing of Abel Mosso, 20, in front of horrified straphangers.

After the execution happened, local and national news organizations called the encounter a “fight” on the Queens subway station.

But cops waited until 4 a.m. Tuesday to announce that he had been formally charged.

Then they called reporters Tuesday afternoon to say that he would be walked out of the 115th Precinct station house at 4 p.m. — only to sneak him out a back door by 2 p.m. en route to a courthouse in Queens.

It would have been the public’s first chance to get a good look at the accused killer — had The Post not already put him on the front page Tuesday thanks to law enforcement sources.

Gutierrez shot Mosso “multiple times in the face” following a scuffle over a gun that spilled from a No. 7 train onto the 90th Street station platform in a “gang-related” incident, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea.

He had at least nine previous arrests that included four felonies.
