Haitian Migrant Accused of Rape Arrested by ICE After Release on Low Bail

The suspect, charged with raping a minor, was initially freed despite an ICE detainer request, raising concerns over immigration enforcement and public safety.

Cory Alvarez, a Haitian migrant, was arrested by ICE after being released on $500 bail for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts.
Alvarez entered the U.S. legally under a now-suspended Biden administration parole program for migrants from certain countries.
Local authorities ignored an ICE detainer request, allowing Alvarez's release, which has sparked criticism of sanctuary policies.
Prosecutors fear the federal intervention might hinder the state's ability to prosecute Alvarez effectively.
The case highlights ongoing issues with coordination between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
