A Salvadoran national who was charged with rape then released despite being under deportation orders was arrested by federal authorities in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts.
On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the apprehension of 34-year-old Jose Garcia-Salmeron in Boston, a sanctuary city for criminal illegal aliens.
In July of 2007, Garcia-Salmeron was caught by U.S. Border Patrol agents after entering the country illegally.
He was issued a Notice to Appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge then transferred to custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which released him the following month.
In November of 2007, a DOJ judge ordered Garcia-Salmeron removed from U.S., but he apparently never left.
In July of 2024, the Salvadoran was arrested by the Revere Police Department and charged with rape in Chelsea District Court.
ICE issued a detainer against Garcia-Salmeron, but the court ignored the request and ordered him released on July 26, 2024.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston caught up with Garcia-Salmeron and took him into custody on Jan. 22.
The Salvadoran remains in ERO Boston custody pending removal proceedings.
“Jose Garcia-Salmeron is charged with victimizing one of our Massachusetts residents and represents a significant threat to the safety of Massachusetts neighborhoods,” ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde stated.
“We will not tolerate such threats to our neighbors. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by targeting, arresting, and removing any illegally present individuals who present such a threat to our New England communities.”
Last month, the Boston City Council – which is comprised exclusively of Democrats, one of whom is a former illegal alien – voted 13-0 to reaffirm the city’s status as ‘sanctuary’ for criminal illegal aliens.
