The outlet reported that in one instance, a 39-year-old Honduran national named Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin, who was charged with indecent assault and battery on a person over 14, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, masked armed robbery and assault to rape, was released on his own recognizance without having to pay bail.
According to an ICE statement, immigration officials had previously arrested and removed Rodezno-Marin twice for illegally re-entering the U.S., in 2008 and 2009.
Despite these crimes and an ICE detainer being filed against him, the Middlesex Superior Court released Rodezno-Marin in December. He was not arrested by ICE until a month later. He is currently in ICE custody.
Meanwhile, ABC reported the Worcester County Jail released two illegal immigrant inmates charged with child rape on bail of just $500.
Another illegal immigrant, Jose Fernando-Perez, a 49-year-old Guatemalan national charged with three counts of forcible rape of a child and three counts of aggravated rape of a child, was released in 2022 on a $7,500 bail with just an order to "stay in his home."
Fernando-Perez was finally arrested by ICE on Feb. 2 of this year.
At the time, Patricia Hyde, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting field office director, said Fernando-Perez's "horrific crimes against a minor in our commonwealth" made him "exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our 'worst first' policy."
In northeastern Massachusetts, the Lawrence District Court released another Honduran national, 19-year-old Stivenson Omar Perez-Ajtzalan, on $7,500 bail despite pending charges of aggravated rape of a child with a 10-year age difference.
Today, Homan renewed his criticism of Massachusetts and Boston's anti-ICE policies and announced ICE arrested a total of 370 illegal immigrants in the Boston area during a five-day joint federal agency operation last week.
Homan said that a majority of the 370 illegals were "significant criminals," including four wanted for murder as well as drug traffickers, child sex predators and "numerous other violent public safety threats."
"ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE. They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released," he said. "These officers and agents made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer. They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail."
"Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk," he continued. "President Trump's 'all of government effort' to arrest and remove the WORST FIRST is making our communities safer every day. President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!"
"It's absolutely egregious, absolutely ridiculous, and there's no decent argument against [deporting criminal illegals]," said Trupiano. "All they're really doing is just attacking the Trump administration and mischaracterizing the administration's efforts as well as ICE."
