Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Boston have arrested more than 200 illegal aliens in recent weeks.
Almost all the illegals have convictions for or face charges in connection with rape, drugs, and myriad violent crimes, and come from more than a dozen countries.
Among the more notable arrests were those of a rape suspect and convicted murderer.
Meanwhile, the agency also collared another illegal-alien sex-crime suspect in New York, and at the southwest border, federal agents continue to arrest previously deported illegal-alien thugs. Agents in Texas and California have arrested a convicted murderer, a sex pervert, and a gang member in the last week.
Boston Arrests
ICE’s report on the operation in Boston highlighted the arrest of the murderer, the rape suspect, and two others.
The murderer was a 48-year-old Guatemalan also convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. ICE did not release the killer’s name.
The rape suspect is a 42-year-old Zimbabwean, Alois Mutare. The African entered the country in 1999, ICE reported, and “significantly violated the terms of his admission and overstayed his temporary visitor status by nearly 20 years.”
Boston cops let him go after his arrest:
He was arrested on felony rape charges by Boston police in December 2019 and indicted earlier this month on those charges. He was arrested by ICE following his release from local criminal court March 4. He will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings before a federal immigration judge.
That arrest was one of 209, the agency reported; 178 were either convicted criminals or suspects in major felonies.
The other arrests included a 29-year-old Liberian “member of the Bloods gang convicted of conspiracy to commit extortion and burglary,” and a 34-year-old previously-deported Dominican who faces homicide and robbery charges back home.
Only three of the arrestees hailed from what one would consider First World countries: Italy, Ireland, and Portugal.
The rest came from India and China in Asia; Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Dominican Republic in the Caribbean; Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador in Latin America; and Angola, Burundi, Liberia, and Zimbabwe in Africa; and Cape Verde off Africa’s west coast.
Among their charges and convictions are “rape, drug trafficking (heroin/fentanyl), sexual assault, enticement of a minor for indecent purposes, distribution of cocaine, assault and battery, robbery, burglary, domestic violence, fraud, extortion and forgery.”
Detainers Ignored
ICE agents also collared yet another sex fiend in New York City whom local authorities freed despite a detainer from the agency.
City cops arrested Edgar Vinicio Guzman-Borja on February 2, the agency reported, and charged him with first-degree sex abuse of a child but quickly released him. ICE bagged the Ecuadorian on March 6.
That arrest followed another a few days before. The case was nearly the same. Cops arrested an illegal alien for sex with a minor but released him despite a detainer.
ICE is waging a legal war against cities, counties, and states that release dangerous illegal-alien thugs despite detainers, and has been filing subpoenas across the country to pry loose information about illegal-alien criminals from the sanctuaries that protect them.
At the Border
Immigration authorities at the border aren’t any less busy, Customs and Border Protection reported.
On Sunday, border agents with the El Centro Border Sector caught yet another child molester trying to sneak back into the country about 22 miles west of the Calexico West Downtown Port of Entry.
The illegal was a 24-year-old Mexican, Jesus Ledezma-Rodriguez, the agency reported, who “had a conviction on October 20, 2005, for ‘sex with a minor’ out of Sacramento. The man was sentenced to 90 days confinement and five years probation for his conviction. Additionally, Ledezma was previously removed from the United States to Mexico on January 13, 2006.”
Ledezma-Rodriguez, who proves that President Trump was right in saying illegals are often dangerous criminals, is the 30th illegal-alien sex fiend captured in the El Centro sector this fiscal year, the agency reported.
The day before, agents arrested a murderer who was trying to smuggle three illegals into the country, CBP reported. He was convicted in 1997 and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Also, last week, border agents and local deputies in Brewster County, Texas, about 400 miles west of San Antonio, collared a MS-13 gang member in a group of 16 illegals.
Agents tracked the border jumpers for eight hours.
