Liberio Andrew Gonzalez was arrested in Rosebank and deported to Mexico.
A Mexican criminal mastermind who led a murderous kidnapping ring has been arrested on Staten Island and deported to Mexico, authorities say.

Liberio Andrew Gonzalez, the alleged leader of "The Liborio" -- a gang authorities say is responsible for about 20 murders and numerous kidnappings in three Mexican states -- was picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Rosebank last week.

Gonzalez rented a small, $400 attic apartment on normally quiet Bell Street and worked along the borough's waterfront, cleaning boats.

ICE officers escorted him out of the country and turned him over Saturday to Mexican Federal Police officials at the Mexico City International Airport, said ICE spokesman Lou Martinez.

Gonzalez and his crew staked out farmers, entrepreneurs and children in the Mexican states Guerrero, Puebla and Morelos, according to authorities.
