A fugitive known for his daring gold prospecting in New York City’s sewer system has been taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following his release from local custody. Authorities allege the individual, dubbed "mole man," had been evading detention despite prior legal troubles, including a controversial judicial decision that freed him earlier. The arrest comes amid ongoing concerns over illegal mining activities in urban infrastructure, raising questions about public safety and law enforcement oversight. Details on how long he had been at large or the circumstances of his release remain under investigation.
