BOSTON, MA - A press release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirms that its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston unit arrested an illegal immigrant wanted on child rape charges in his home country of Ecuador.
The illegal immigrant was arrested by deportation officers from ERO Boston on June 12th near his residence in Northampton, Massachusetts. According to The Post Millennial, the child predator was hiding out in the United States after illegally entering the country back on June 4th, 2021, near San Luis, Arizona.
He was by Border Patrol agents, but under President Biden's lax border policies, he was released and given an order to appear in court at a later date. According to federal authorities, the illegal immigrant is wanted as a fugitive in his home country on child rape charges and invasion of privacy.
On May 16th, 2023, Ecuadorian authorities issued an arrest warrant for the noncitizen as a fugitive from justice. ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said in statement, "This Ecuadorian fugitive is facing some very serious charges, but instead of facing the justice system, he fled and attempted to take refuge in Massachusetts. He posed a significant threat to the children of our communities, and we cannot allow that to continue. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from New England."
With President Biden in office, the United States continues to face a southern border crisis, allowing many criminals to enter into the country due to the soft border policies currently in place. Criminal activity and national security is a huge concern. According to the Post Millennial, ISIS has reportedly funneled over 400 illegal immigrants into the United States with a human smuggling network.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified over 400 illegal immigrants as "subjects of concern." While 150 have been arrested, the location of 50 of them remain unknown. Those who have already been apprehended have been tied to terrorist threats in the United States.
Former FBI counterterrorism section chief Christopher O'Leary said that the fact that so many illegal immigrants suspected to have ties to ISIS are still on the run is alarming, but he expressed optimism that they would be caught. O'Leary said, "I believe the [US] is scrambling to locate these individuals, and using the immigration charges is not uncommon. They are in violation of that law and if you need to take somebody off the street, that's a good approach to it."
On May 17th, ERO Boston apprehended a Brazilian national wanted by authorities in his home country for charges of drug trafficking and robber by intimidation or violence. The suspect was arrested during a vehicle stop in Framingham, Massachusetts. Lyons said, "This Brazilian fugitive attempted to flee justice in his home country and hide out in Massachusetts. He represents a significant threat to the residents of our neighborhoods. We will not allow New England to become a safe haven for the world's criminals."
A Brazilian court convicted the illegal immigrant of two counts of drug trafficking and one count of robbery by intimidation or violence back on May 29th, 2017. He was sentenced to a total of 17 years and six months for the three convictions. A Brazilian court issued an arrest warrant for the suspect on November 25th, 2022.
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested him on March 16th, 2023, after he and his family unlawfully entered the United States near Lukeville, Arizona. Border Patrol issued the family a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge and released them with an order of recognizance.
On January 9th, U.S. authorities learned that the Brazilian fugitive was wanted by his home country for drug trafficking and robbery offenses. He will remain in ERO custody pending removal proceedings.

Biden, Harris and Mayorkas are all guilty of TREASON for what they have created with their failure to enforce immigration laws on the books. As such, they have aided the enemy which is drug cartels, alien smuggling cartels and our adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party and their illegal alien spies.

While all eyes are watching them coming/sneaking across our southern border. No one talks about the ones coming across our northern one. And like Mexico. Canada is doing nothing to stop them. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out Trudeau isn't helping them.
