Illegal Migrant Arrested, Accused of Rape After Being Released by Massachusetts Court: ICE

A 28-year-old “gotaway” migrant has been arrested and charged with rape after he was previously released by a state court, despite his violent rap sheet.

In a Friday statement from the Boston, Massachusetts, field office, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of Jorge Luis Castro-Alvarado. He was arrested in Lynn, Massachusetts, on August 1.

The migrant had later been convicted of the assault and battery charge, and was sentenced to eighteen months in prison. The Lynn District Court later lowered the prison sentence to six months.

According to ICE, the Essex County Superior Court arraigned Castro-Alvarado for two counts of rape and indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 years old in April. In defiance of ICE’s detainer, the court later released the suspect on bail without notifying immigration officials.
