In Massachusetts, a Brazilian man was apprehended for committing a sexual assault on a minor.
In August, a 24-year-old man named Warley Neto was arrested by local authorities in response to an immigration detainer request from federal authorities.
An illegal Brazilian man residing in the US has been accused of raping a minor from Massachusetts, according to federal officials.
On Aug. 23, Warley Neto, 24, was arrested and charged with five counts of rape by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"The ERO Boston Field Office Director, Todd M. Lyons, stated that Warley Neto allegedly repeatedly assaulted a Massachusetts child and poses a significant threat to the safety of our neighborhoods. He expressed gratitude to the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office for prioritizing public safety and allowing Neto’s safe transfer of custody to ERO."
On March 11, 2018, Neto illegally entered the U.S. near Paso Del Norte, Texas. He was served a notice by U.S. Border Patrol to appear before a federal immigration judge and released on March 13, 2018.
The Dukes County Jail and House of Correction issued an immigration detainer request against Neto, who was arrested by the Edgartown Police Department on charges of strangulation or suffocation, assault and battery on a family member, and threatening to commit a crime.
On June 8, 2023, Neto was convicted of the charges and was given a 364-day prison sentence. However, a judge suspended all but 90 days of the sentence.
On January 12th, Neto was arrested once more for five charges of child rape and five counts of luring a minor under the age of 16, according to officials.
On Aug. 22, another immigration detainer request was filed by ICE with the Dukes County Jail and House of Correction and the Dukes County Superior Court. The request was granted, and immigration officials were informed they could take Neto into federal custody.
""Local jurisdictions frequently disregard immigration detainers and release dangerous offenders, prompting ERO Boston to intensify efforts to apprehend and deport the most serious noncitizen offenders in New England," Lyons stated."
