ERO Boston arrests 41-year-old Guatemalan national charged with sex crime against Massachusetts resident

NANTUCKET, Mass — Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston apprehended an unlawfully present 41-year-old Guatemalan noncitizen charged with a sex crime against a Nantucket resident. Officers with ERO Boston arrested Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez in Nantucket.

“Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez was previously removed from the United States following convictions for reckless driving and reckless endangerment,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “He then unlawfully reentered the country and made his way to our Nantucket community to apparently commit a sex crime against a resident here. Perez represents a threat to our New England residents that we cannot tolerate. ERO Boston will continue our mission to prioritize public safety by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders.”

Perez unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location and without being inspected, admitted, or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.

ERO arrested Perez June 8, 2011, following his arrest for reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person in Pennsylvania. ERO served Perez with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge.

The Upper Makefield District Court convicted Perez July 11, 2011, of reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person and sentenced him to one year of probation.

On July 29, 2011, a Department of Justice immigration judge ordered Perez removed from the United States to Guatemala.

ERO removed Perez from the United States to Guatemala Aug. 11, 2011.

Perez unlawfully reentered the United States at an unknown location on an unknown date and without being admitted, inspected or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.

The Nantucket District Court arraigned Perez Aug. 19, 2024, for indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older.

Officers with ERO Boston arrested Perez Sept. 11 in Nantucket. He remains in ERO custody.
