An illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 14 was arrested by ICE last week.
According to ICE, the 34-year-old illegal Guatemalan was previously released from Gloucester District Court in Massachusetts despite an ICE detainer against him.
“On February 21, Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested a 34-year-old unlawfully present Guatemalan citizen in Gloucester who was recently convicted locally of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years of age. A Guatemalan citizen was released from Gloucester District Court despite ERO Boston filing an immigration hold against him. – ICE said in a statement.
“The arrest was part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) most recent nationwide enforcement effort, focused on apprehending unlawfully present noncitizen sex offenders. ERO officers arrested 275 unlawfully present noncitizen sex offenders during the nationwide law enforcement operation between February 5 and 16. ICE said.
“This individual posed a terrible threat to the residents of Massachusetts,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “Convicted sex offenders who are unlawfully present should not be given the opportunity to re-offend. The victim of his crimes deserves better from our justice system. The men and women of ERO Boston will continue to protect our communities from such threats.”
This is the second time in the last month that an illegal alien accused of rape has been released in Massachusetts.
Last month, one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens from Haiti, accused of raping a disabled person, was released by Boston authorities in defiance of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the 31-year-old illegal alien entered the United States at Joe Biden’s open border invitation in December 2022 at the port of entry in Brownsville, Texas.
UPDATE: According to ICE source, the 31-year-old Haitian man’s name is Pierre Lucard Emile. The source also provided a photo of him from the federal database.
