President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has slammed Democrat leaders in Massachusetts after it emerged that the state has been releasing dangerous illegal aliens criminals back onto the streets.
Himan responded to a state law barring law enforcement cooperation with ICE.
The law is illegal aliens child rapists and other serious foreign criminals charged with “horrific crimes” to be quickly released.
The dangerous illegal alien criminals are being freed on bail as low as $500.
However, they are being released with no bail at all in some cases, despite the severity of the crimes.
Responding to these releases, Homan said that Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, both Democrats, “should be ashamed.”
Nevertheless, Homan warned that despite their actions, deporting criminal illegals “will be done.”
Healey has previously claimed that Massachusetts is not a “sanctuary” state.
However, a 2017 ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Lunn vs. Commonwealth, bars local and state law enforcement from coordinating with ICE to assist with deportation operations.
The ruling stipulates that law enforcement cannot comply with ICE detainers, forcing agencies to release criminal migrants onto the streets.
Last week, Wu renewed her pledge to resist Trump’s deportation efforts.
“We stand with immigrants,” Wu declared in a statement mocking Trump.
“No one tells Boston how to take care of our own, not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings.”
However, at least seven illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes were released by local law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts in recent months, according to CBS.
The charges include child rape and fentanyl trafficking.
The outlet reported on one instance involving a 39-year-old Honduran national named Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin.
Rodezno-Marin was charged with indecent assault and battery on a person over 14, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, masked armed robbery, and assault to rape.
He was released on his own recognizance without having to pay bail.
According to an ICE statement, immigration officials had previously arrested and removed Rodezno-Marin twice for illegally re-entering the U.S., in 2008 and 2009.
Despite these crimes and an ICE detainer being filed against him, the Middlesex Superior Court released Rodezno-Marin in December.
He was not arrested by ICE until a month later.
Fortunately, he is now in ICE custody.
Meanwhile, ABC reported the Worcester County Jail released two illegal alien inmates charged with child rape on bail of just $500.
Another illegal immigrant, 49-year-old Guatemalan national Jose Fernando-Perez, was released in 2022 on a $7,500 bail with just an order to “stay in his home.”
Fernando-Perez was charged with three counts of forcible rape of a child and three counts of aggravated rape of a child.
He was finally arrested by ICE on February 2 of this year.
Patricia Hyde, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting field office director, issued a statement at the time of Fernando-Perez’s arrest.
Hyde said Fernando-Perez’s “horrific crimes against a minor in our commonwealth” made him “exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our ‘worst first’ policy.”
In northeastern Massachusetts, the Lawrence District Court released another Honduran national, 19-year-old Stivenson Omar Perez-Ajtzalan, on $7,500 bail despite pending charges of aggravated rape of a child with a 10-year age difference.
CBS reported that two other inmates charged with cocaine and fentanyl trafficking were released with bail amounts of $500 and $4,000.
While speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February, Homan issued a stark warning to Boston and Massachusetts leaders
“You said you doubled down on not helping the law enforcement officers of ICE,” Homan warned.
“I’m coming to Boston, and I’m bringing hell with me.”
Today, Homan renewed his criticism of Massachusetts and Boston’s anti-ICE policies.
The border czar announced that ICE arrested a total of 370 illegal aliens in the Boston area during a five-day joint federal agency operation last week.
“I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts,” he wrote in a post on X.
“Mayor Chu [sic] later testified that I was lying.
“Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five-day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals, and DSS.
“These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370 Illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas.”
Homan said that a majority of the 370 illegals were “significant criminals,” including four wanted for murder as well as drug traffickers, child sex predators, and “numerous other violent public safety threats.”
“ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE,” he said.
“They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released
“These officers and agents made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer.
“They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail.”
“Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk,” he continued.
“President Trump’s ‘all of government effort’ to arrest and remove the WORST FIRST is making our communities safer every day.
“President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people.
“Much more to do, but it will be done!”
