Illegal immigrant charged in 'horrific' child sex crime arrested by ICE after police let him go
Fox News
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested an illegal immigrant charged with rape of a minor in Massachusetts. The suspect had been released from state custody.
ICE said he was arrested in Lynn, Massachusetts, in January for the alleged rape, indecent assault and battery of a minor over 14 and arraigned in court on Jan 29. Immediately, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) lodged an immigration detainer with Lynn District Court.

When ICE believes a removable illegal immigrant has been arrested on criminal charges, it will lodge a detainer, which is a request that the agency be notified before the immigrant is released from custody and to hold them until ICE can take custody of them.
