Three Undocumented Immigrants Accused of Child Rape Arrested in Massachusetts

The arrests come as Massachusetts leaders reaffirm their opposition to federal immigration enforcement under the incoming Trump administration.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested three undocumented immigrants in Massachusetts, two charged with child rape and one convicted of the same crime in Brazil.
The suspects include Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz from Guatemala, Billy Erney Buitrago-Bustos from Colombia, and Alexandre Romao De Oliveira from Brazil, all detained by ICE's Boston office.
Local authorities in Massachusetts previously released some suspects on bail despite ICE detainers, citing state policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have publicly opposed assisting with mass deportation plans under President-elect Trump, sparking criticism from Republican leaders.
ICE officials emphasized the need for cooperation between local and federal agencies to ensure public safety and prevent the release of individuals accused or convicted of serious crimes.
