BOSTON — Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston arrested an undocumented Brazilian sex offender Nov. 14 on Martha’s Vineyard. Deportation officers from ERO Boston’s Fugitive Operations Team South apprehended the 37-year-old noncitizen near his residence in West Tisbury. The Brazilian national is wanted by authorities in his home country for failure to serve a prison sentence for raping a 5-year-old child.

“This undocumented Brazilian national represented a significant threat to the inhabitants of Martha’s Vineyard,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons. “He sexually assaulted a five-year-old child in his homeland and then ran from authorities when held accountable for his actions. ERO Boston will not allow such predators to threaten our residents. We will continue to apprehend and remove anyone who attempts to use our New England community as a refuge from justice.”

The Brazilian national received multiple criminal convictions for raping a child and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. After his convictions and before sentencing, the Brazilian citizen fled the country.

In May 2019, upon his failure to appear for his sentence, the 2nd Criminal Court of Sorriso in the town of Sorriso, Mato Grosso, Brazil, issued a warrant for his arrest.

The undocumented noncitizen unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date at an unknown location without being inspected or admitted by an immigration official.

ERO Boston learned of the Brazilian national’s presence on Martha’s Vineyard on Sept. 28.

ERO Boston’s Fugitive Operations Team South apprehended him during a vehicle stop and served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge. The Brazilian national will remain in ERO custody pending his removal proceedings.

According to Boston 25, the Brazilian national’s name is Saulo Cardoso Ferreira.

    What does ‘undocumented” mean ?? he forgot his wallet ?
    there is no such term used in any Immigration/Naturalization statute nor in the Code of Federal Regulation.
    The LEFT uses the term to change the language … such as ; say you wanna snuff your baby cause having a kid is a big pain on the ass … you just call it ‘Pro-Choice’ evil always first seeks to controls the language and thereby grooms a society to their demonic values

    The correct term is ‘illegal alien’ or “Unlawful Entrant Awaiting Admission Adjudication/Classification.’
