Fox News
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on Friday that it has deported a Brazilian illegal immigrant wanted for rape in his country, but who was released into the U.S.
He had initially been encountered near San Ysidro, California, on June 10, 2021, after entering the U.S. illegally. U.S. Border Patrol served him with a notice to appear in an immigration court, and ICE released him into the country under the Alternatives to Detention program, under which migrants are given some form of tracking as they await their hearing.

He was ordered to appear at an immigration hearing on February 24, 2023, in Newark, NJ, but didn’t show up. He was eventually arrested in December in New Jersey during a targeted enforcement action.
