From: https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ero-boston-apprehends-guatemalan-citizen-arrested-locally-first-degree-child

On Feb. 28, 2024, Providence police arrested him on domestic assault charges and the outstanding warrant. The charges remain pending with the Rhode Island Sixth District Court.

Following his arrest and booking into custody at the Adult Correctional Institution in Cranston, ERO Boston officers in Warwick lodged an immigration detainer against him.

On April 10, despite the active immigration detainer, the Guatemalan national was released onto the streets of Providence...

So the story is that he was arrested on Feb 28, at some unspecified time later a detainer was put on him, and over a month later he was for whatever reason released. The Immigration detainer by law only lasts 48 hours. They were holding onto this guy for over a month and ICE is all mad they wouldn't hold him for another 48 hours? Why not swing by and pick him up at some point during the 4 weeks previous?

Was there some reason ICE could not have taken this guy and deported him sometime in March? I don't get it.

I can't even imagine the mental gymnastics required to justify protecting illegals by releasing a child molester back into their community.

You don't have to imagine. Just ask a question: why would a court release someone with an immigration detainer on them?

Now, if you're so inclined, you can research that answer. No imagination required!

Because they dont want him deported? They want more pedophiles in America? They want to normalize pedophilia?

Absolutely wild worldview where you think that the courts actively want to encourage pedophilia. There's absolutely zero evidence for that, but don't let reality get in the way of you being furious about everything all the time.

The courts decision was that molesting children was less of a threat to society than deporting an illegal is.
