Illegal is arrested for child rape in Massachusetts after district court IGNORED request to detain himShow more

An illegal 20-year-old, a Brazilian national, accused of the rape of a child under 16 in Massachusetts was finally arrested by immigration authorities after a local district court ignored a request to detain him.

He was their fourth alleged child rapist arrest of the morning. All had been released by local jurisdictions who refused to cooperate with ICE.

ICE Boston says this Brazilian illegal alien was apprehended by Border Patrol in AZ in July 2021, then released into the U.S., & later arrested in Massachusetts for child rape in Dec. 2023.

ICE says the Milford District Court ignored their detainer request & released him into the community on $5,000 bail without notice in late January. We were embedded with ICE as they found & arrested him in Lowell, MA, two weeks ago.

This is yet another example of a border catch and release allegedly committing a heinous crime in the U.S., and a local jurisdiction in MA refusing to cooperate w/ ICE on an alleged child rapist.

ICE statement: “This Brazilian noncitizen is accused of sexually abusing a Massachusetts minor,” said ICE Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons. “Every second he spends roaming free in our communities, he represents a potential threat to the children of our communities. The men and women of ICE Boston will always prioritize public safety by protecting the residents of New England from egregious noncitizen offenders.”

According to ERO data, agents made 170,590 arrests in 2023, a 19.5 percent increase from the previous year.

The agency registered the apprehension of 73,822 non U.S. citizens who had a criminal history - 108 were fugitives wanted by their governments for crimes including homicide, rape, terrorism and kidnapping.
