BOSTON – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested four accused child rapists and one MS-13 gang member in Boston after local officials failed to hold them based upon ICE detainer requests, according to a report.
Bill Melugin, a correspondent with Fox News, spoke with an ICE agent involved in the arrests on Monday. The federal agent said, “That’s everyday up here in Boston. Those are the public safety threats we’d really like to get off the street.”
Melugin reported, “All of those arrests you just saw happen are because local authorities ignored their detainer requests to keep these guys in custody due to sanctuary policies.”
ICE said all of the suspects will remain in federal custody until their local charges are resolved. Once that takes place, ICE will seek to deport “every single one of them,” Melugin noted.
