ICE Finds, Arrests Haitian Migrant Who Was Released on $500 Bond After Being Charged With Raping Child in MA

Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have located and arrested a Haitian immigrant who had previously been released on a $500 bond despite facing charges of raping a child in Massachusetts.

ICE had issued a detainer on the suspect, Cory Alvarez, but the local sheriff’s office ignored it and released the 26-year-old on a low bail number. A detainer is a request by which authorities alert ICE about an individual they believe to be subject to deportation so they can take the individual into federal custody and deport that person.

Alvarez was arrested in a so-called sanctuary city and the detainer was therefore ignored.

ICE officers found Alvarez in Boston on Monday, law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital.

Alvarez arrived in June under the parole process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans (CHNV). The policy was first announced for Venezuelans in October 2022, which allowed a limited number to fly directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S. already and passed certain checks.
