Illegal immigrant allegedly commits rape after release by Massachusetts court: ICE
A state court ignored ICE's request to take custody of the illegal immigrant, who then allegedly committed rape while on parole for another offense
The Boston office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the agency has arrested an illegal immigrant suspected of rape.
In a statement released Friday, the Boston field office reported the arrest of Jorge Luis Castro-Alvarado, Fox News reported.
The Boston branch of ICE's Enforcement and Removal operations said Castro-Alvarado "unlawfully entered the United States before making his way to Massachusetts and allegedly victimizing a resident here."
The Guatemalan national entered the U.S. without inspection, admission, or parole, ICE said. The agency is still trying to determine when and where Castro-Alvarado illegally entered the U.S.
ERO Boston issued an immigration detainer for Castro-Alvarado after he was arrested for assault and battery of a family or household member. A Massachusetts court sentenced Castro-Alvarado to 18 months, which was later reduced to six months.
Another court ignored ICE's immigration detainer and released Castro-Alvarado on bail without notifying the agency.
