A Massachusetts mother told the nation she’s worried about her children and their safety together. illegal immigrants who flocked to the Bay State are in custody for alleged sex crimes against minors.

Execution and deportation operations Boston arrested illegally present Colombian citizen Mateo Hincapie Cardona on October 29 after the Suffolk County House of Correction failed to honor an inmate, releasing him 10 days early, authorities say .

The Boston Police Department took the 28-year-old into custody on October 16 on charges of enticement of a child under 16, distribution of obscene material and lascivious posing and exhibition of a naked child.

Cardona was arraigned in Charlestown District Court on the day of his arrest, and ERO Boston filed a detention request – a request that local or state law enforcement “maintain custody of the non-citizen for a period not exceeding 48 hours beyond when the individual would otherwise do so. be released. »

ERO Boston saw the Suffolk County House of Correction reject the application, with immigration agents later finding and arresting Cardona in East Boston, authorities said.

Cardona reportedly entered the country on April 26, and Border Patrol agents encountered him near Lukeville, Arizona, where they arrested and released him the same day on personal recognizance.

Stephanie Mulroy, a Holden resident and mother of four school-aged children, highlighted the case during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News, calling the alleged crimes “heinous.”

“This is just one of thousands of people wandering our streets, our schools, our hotels and shelters across this state,” Mulroy told America Reports co-anchor Sandra Smith. “Parents can’t just let their kids wander into town to get a soda without worrying about who might intercept them on the way. It’s terrifying.

Two days after Cardona’s arrest by ERO Boston, officers arrested a 36-year-old Brazilian fugitive, Andre Tiago Lucas, in Bourne for the rape of a 13-year-old child in his native country, according to authorities.

Convicted of rape of a vulnerable person and sentenced to nine years and four months in prison in Brazil in December 2016, Lucas reportedly fled his country to settle in Massachusetts before his conviction.

Mulroy, a member of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee and Holden Select Board, said that while she worries about her children and their safety, she also shows compassion. She recounted how diverse the Bay State “became” while she attended school in the 1980s with non-English speaking classmates.

“Our Right to Housing Act, created in the 1980s, has been misinterpreted and misinterpreted by Maura Healey throughout her administration,” Mulroy said of the governor, “so much so that she created the Commonwealth to essentially become a magnet for criminals.

Massachusetts remains the only state in the country with a “right to housing” law since its enactment in 1983, with the legislation guaranteeing emergency shelter only to families with children and women pregnant with their first child.

Like the migrant crisis has strained the emergency system for months, Healey’s critics accuse the governor of not prioritizing American citizens, especially veterans.

Healey doubled earlier this week on her position last week that she does not have an immigration enforcement authority and that she I will not use the Massachusetts State Police to assist in President-elect Trump’s mass deportation efforts.

Healey also said she wants to see Trump keep his border-related promises.

Mulroy told Fox News that she is working with Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts GOP, to have a Republican candidate “lined up for the next (gubernatorial) election,” in 2026.

“She’s absolutely hypocritical,” Mulroy said of Healey’s views. “It relies on people’s emotional appeals and ignores the facts.”

“The facts are that we have a housing crisis here in Massachusetts,” Mulroy added, “that she seems to talk about very openly, but she makes no way or motion to evict or evict people who are using our right to housing . the law abusively so that young mothers, homeless people, veterans cannot use the resources we have here.
