Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a Dominican illegal
immigrant charged with sex crimes and kidnapping in Boston, after he was
released from local custody despite a request by the agency to hand him
over.
In a statement, ICE said it had arrested Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla, a 46-
year-old, who is charged with assault to rape, kidnapping, two counts of
indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older, and intimidation of
an official, witness, or juror, was arrested Dec. 17 in Boston.
Pena-Casilla entered the U.S. illegally near Eagle Pass, Texas, in January
2023, and was enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program. Under
that program, migrants are monitored by a GPS tracking device or check in
via an app. He was removed from the program a month later.
In July this year, he was arraigned in Massachusetts. ICE says its
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston issued a detainer, but
it was ignored by the district court and he was released on GPS on bail.
ICE would eventually track him down in December.
"Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla stands accused of some very serious offenses
against a Massachusetts resident," acting Field Office Director Patricia
Hyde of ERO Boston said in a statement. "We hold a sacred duty to protect
the residents of our communities, and we will continue to do so by
apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from our
neighborhoods. Today, another victim in Massachusetts no longer needs to
fear their predator."
Boston is one of a number of "sanctuary" cities that limit or forbid
cooperation by local law enforcement with ICE. Supporters of sanctuary
policies say they allow illegal immigrants to cooperate with local law
enforcement, but opponents say they result in the release of criminal
illegal immigrants back onto the streets.
Boston City Council recently doubled down on its sanctuary policies,
voting in favor of a resolution to limit ICE cooperation and to ban police
from keeping migrants in custody for possible deportation unless there is
a criminal warrant.
The resolution adopted by the council states that "proposals for mass
deportations represent a direct attack on Bostons immigrant families, and
threaten to tear communities apart."
Sanctuary policies have been back in the spotlight with the approaching
Trump administration, which has promised to ramp up deportations and
launch a historic operation to potentially remove millions of illegal
immigrants.
A number of Democratic officials in states, including Massachusetts, have
said they will not cooperate in the deportation push. President-elect
Trumps border czar, Tom Homan, has hinted there could be legal
consequences for those who get in the way of the operation.
Recently, America First Legal notified nearly 250 officials in
jurisdictions that limit or forbid local law enforcement cooperation with
ICE that there could be legal consequences for interfering with the feds
or for concealing illegal immigrants.
"We have identified your jurisdiction as a sanctuary jurisdiction that is
violating federal law. Such lawlessness subjects you and your subordinates
to significant risk of criminal and civil liability. Accordingly, we are
sending this letter to put you on notice of this risk and insist that you
comply with our nations laws," the letter says.
