Is Massachusetts releasing immigrants charged with violent crimes, as Trump border czar claims?

It has been a month since Tom Homan, the Trump administration's Border Czar, told an enthusiastic crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference that he was "bringing hell to Boston."

"You're not a police commissioner. Take that badge off your chest. Put it in the desk drawer," Homan told the audience, taking aim at Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, accusing him of releasing immigrants charged with violent crimes back into the community.

WBZ-TV decided to dig into the press releases of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Massachusetts to see if violent criminals are really being released by Cox or other law enforcement.

After reviewing every press release from January to the present, WBZ found only one which said Boston Police released someone wanted by ICE. All of the other releases stated that individuals wanted by ICE were released from jails or courts.

Massachusetts law prevents any law enforcement from holding someone based solely on their immigration status.

Tom Homan said he specifically counted "9 child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts," that were released into the community before they were arrested by ICE. WBZ decided to take a deeper look at the bail for some of those cases.

Take Jose Fernando-Perez, who was arrested by ICE in Framingham in February. According to an ICE press release, the Essex County Superior Court in Salem arraigned him on three counts of rape of a child by force and three counts of aggravated rape of a child in August, 2022. WBZ called the court and found that he posted a $7500 bail and was released with an order to stay in his home in October, 2022.

Stivenson Omar Perez-Ajtzalan was arraigned in Lawrence District Court arraigned Perez Dec. 20, 2024, on felony charges of aggravated rape of a child with a ten-year age difference, according to an ICE press release. WBZ learned that he posted his $7500 bail and was released with a GPS monitoring device. He was arrested by ICE in January.

Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin was arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court in March, 2023 for indecent assault and battery in a person over 15, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, masked armed robbery, and assault to rape. He was released on personal recognizance with a GPS monitoring device in December 2024 and arrested by ICE in January.

In the last six months, the Worcester County Jail had two inmates who were charged with child rape with bail set at $500. They were picked up by ICE.

Two other inmates were charged with cocaine and fentanyl trafficking with bails of $500 and $4,000. Both of them were wanted by ICE and bailed out before ICE arrived.

WBZ learned that Jose Fernando-Perez and Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin both had dangerousness hearings and served some jail time before being released from court on conditions. Stivenson Omar Perez-Ajtzalan, only 19 years old, did not have a dangerousness hearing.

Evangelidis now supports a bill filed by two Republican state lawmakers which would allow him to hold inmates wanted by ICE for an additional 36 hours. It also asks judges to take immigration status into consideration when setting bail. LINK

This is why we can't have productive conversations about illegal immigration in this country and how to solve the problem. When the Democrats let stuff like this happen, and go to bat for people like this, then it drives the Republicans to the extreme of deporting everyone.

This shite won't stop until they get hit in the pocket book and charges get filed.

And I've seen nothing but tough talk so far from the good guys.

Just like Jan 6. If they would have focused their prosecutions on the few that actually caused damage, there would not have been a ton of outcry for them. But the Dems/FBI went after anyone who was in DC that day who may have voted for Trump. Not only went aftet them, but sent SWAT team to arrest grand parents at 5:00 AM in their homes. They went so far in their over reach that Trump just pardoned them all.

Why do all these liberal politicians choose to stand on a hill atop an active volcano? Do money and skewed ideology ever give way to common sense for these idiots?

That's a lot of words to bury the lede...

Yes, Homan's assertion was correct.

$7,500 and $500 bail for child rapists?

Easy fix. Not one thin dime of federal funding until they play ball with ICE.

No need for US taxpayers to subsidize pedophile sympathizers.

Just have ICE agents standing at the release gate ready to receive them.

For what it is worth:

Massachusetts law prevents any law enforcement (agency) from holding someone based solely on their immigration status.
Hard to blame the police commissioner, for following state law.

Populist pabulum for Homan to have done so.

But what about the low bail and releasing of those committing violent crimes ON TOP of being here illegally? Lots of child rapists among these cretins as well.

That's the part that "baffles" me.

JK, I doesn't baffle me at all. I completely get why they are doing what they are doing.

They can implement it properly though. As soon as police make an arrest they can simply tell ICE. That way ICE can be waiting at the jail for a prisoner transfer.


Cooperation is very commom in law enforcement

I am pretty sure federal law trumps state law. Arrest him and anyone that broke federal law. If you do not like the federal law then get congress to change it. Saying you cannot blame him on a personal perspective does not change the fact that he should be prosecuted because he did in fact break the law.

I hate to say it, but I'm gonna. It seems the northern states like Maryland,
Vermont, Delaware, Connecticut, Maine, and Massachusetts are mostly liberal due to the elected officials they send to D.C. and by the character of their local mayors and governors.
shite hole states with populations that could make a good audience for shows like The View.
What makes them so damn stupid?
