A Guatemalan migrant accused of setting a woman on fire on a New York City subway was previously deported before illegally reentering the US. The incident occurred on Sunday at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, where the suspect allegedly set a sleeping woman ablaze and watched as she burned.
