An illegal migrant accused of raping a pre-teen child in Massachusetts was allowed bail and immigration authorities were never contacted by local authorities, according to a report from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement via the New York Post .
Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo , 28, a native of El Salvador, was charged with one count of rape of a child with a 10-year age difference and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 on July 26, before being released on bail by Nantucket District Court three days later. ICE officers eventually tracked Aldana-Arevalo down and arrested him on September 10 and he is currently in federal custody awaiting an appearance in immigration court.
“He represents a significant danger to the children of our Massachusetts communities. ERO [ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations] Boston will not tolerate such a threat to the most vulnerable of our population. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from our New England neighborhoods,” said ICE Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons via the New York Post .
