From Fox News: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a Dominican illegal immigrant charged with sex crimes and kidnapping in Boston, after he was released from local custody despite a request by the agency to hand him over.
In a statement, ICE said it had arrested Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla, a 46-year-old, who is charged with assault to rape, kidnapping, two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older, and intimidation of an official, witness, or juror, was arrested Dec. 17 in Boston.
Pena-Casilla entered the U.S. illegally near Eagle Pass, Texas, in January 2023, and was enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program. Under that program, migrants are monitored by a GPS tracking device or check in via an app. He was removed from the program a month later.
In July this year, he was arraigned in Massachusetts. ICE says its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston issued a detainer, but it was ignored by the district court and he was released on GPS on bail. ICE would eventually track him down in December.

In a second case – also in Boston – ICE announced they have nabbed an illegal alien from Peru who entered the U.S. illegally in 2004, and has been accused of raping a minor in his home country. An ICE press release states:
The Orange Police Department cited the Peruvian national for operating a motor vehicle while his license was refused, suspended or revoked in December 2011. In December 2014, he was arrested in New Haven for refusing to submit to a blood, breath or urine test at a police officer’s request; after he successfully completed an Impaired Driver Intervention Program, that charge was dismissed.
In June 2024, authorities in Lima, Peru, issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of raping a child.
ERO Boston arrested him in New Haven Dec. 16. He will remain in ICE custody pending his removal from the United States.
