U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announces the arrest of two in Massachusetts

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have made two arrests in Massachusetts. One of which they called the worst of the worst.

One of the arrests was Manuel Emilio Lora-Troncoso, who ICE called a worst of the worst criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, and was convicted for two counts of rape of a child with force and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years old in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Also, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston arrested Osiris Alexander Rodriguez-Guzman, a 31-year-old illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, following his five-year sentence for drug trafficking. Rodriguez’s criminal history includes a conviction for trafficking 200 grams or more of fentanyl and possession of weapon.

“Rodriguez presented a significant threat to public safety and is subject to a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge,” said acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons. “Through the effective collaboration enabled by ICE’s 287(g) Program partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Corrections, we were able to safely take him into custody. This arrest delivers a clear and unequivocal message to illegal aliens engaging in criminal activity within the United States: Sanctuary cities will not provide protection from U.S. laws. If you violate our laws, ICE will locate you and ensure you are brought to justice.”

Rodriguez unlawfully entered the United States on foot, from Mexico into Texas, around 2022 without being admitted, inspected or paroled by an immigration official.

ICE took Rodriguez into custody, where he’ll remain pending his removal to the Dominican Republic.
