From Fox News: U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Boston announced on Wednesday the arrests of two illegal immigrants who have been charged with forcibly raping children in Massachusetts, as well as a third individual who was convicted of raping a child in Brazil, and was hiding in the U.S. after being caught and released at the U.S. border in 2022.
The arrests come after Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said her state would not cooperate with President-elect Trump’s federal immigration enforcement efforts once he returns to the Oval Office in January.
Below are just some of illegal alien criminals recently arrested in Massachusetts:
Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz, 21, from Guatemala: Arrested by Great Barrington Police Department on Feb. 29, 2024, for “rape of a child by force, rape of a child, and indecent assault and battery on person 14 or older. ”
ICE filed a detainer on De Paz-Munoz, but the detainer was ignored and he was released on bond. ICE finally took him into custody on Nov. 12 in Great Barrington.
De Paz-Munoz had illegally crossed the US border on Sept. 24, 2020 (during the Trump administration) and was released by the Border Patrol with a notice to appear.
