Authorities in Boston denied a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) request to take an illegal immigrant from Haiti into custody who was charged with raping a person with developmental disabilities.
The Haitian immigrant, Pierre Lucard Emile, 31, was then released after only nine days.
The victim’s name and identify was withheld by authorities from the media.
“Disturbingly, and despite our filing an immigration detainer, this individual was released back into the community by the criminal court,” ICE said in a statement.
According to an ICE press release, the man entered the country illegally in December of 2022 at a port of entry in Brownsville, Texas, and was later found to be “inadmissible.” He was then released with a notice to appear, according to ICE sources.
A district court judge rejected the demands of Boston immigration officers, who had initially charged him for residing in the country illegally.
He was first detained back in late September on charges of rape, indecent assault, and battery on an individual with developmental disabilities, however, the report was only recently released to the press.
In order to hold Emile and initiate the deportation process, ICE filed a detainee request immediately after the charges.
However, “sanctuary” jurisdictions—like Boston—usually refuse to comply with requests for ICE detainees and restrict or prohibit collaboration with federal immigration authorities. As a result, the man was overlooked, and in late November, he was later freed with an electronic monitoring tag.
On January 9th of this month, ICE was finally able to arrest him. The agency now states that its Enforcement and Removal Operations will pursue his deportation following the resolution of his criminal proceedings.
“The men and women of ERO Boston continue to protect the community from those who pose a real public safety threat to our communities,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons said in the statement. “We remain strongly committed to protecting residents in communities by apprehending those who are not lawfully present in this country and pose a threat to public safety. This remains a central piece of our mission.”
Due to sanctuary policies, Emile is the most recent case where an illegal immigrant was released back onto the streets who has a serious criminal record and is currently facing prosecution. In November, Fox News revealed that another illegal immigrant from Honduras who was accused of rape, abduction, and battery was freed back onto the streets of Virginia.
Over 85% of illegal immigrants are “being released,” according to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who claimed that there were over 302,000 interactions with undocumented migrants in December.

How can the current system be improved to address the issue of illegal immigration while ensuring public safety and upholding the rule of law
Ithout being held for deportation, despite being charged with a serious crime. This incident raises concerns about the prioritization of public safety and the enforcement of immigration laws in certain jurisdictions.
The case involves Pierre Lucard Emile, a 31-year-old Haitian immigrant who entered the United States illegally in December of 2022. He was subsequently found to be “inadmissible” and released with a notice to appear. However, in late September, Emile was detained on charges of rape, indecent assault, and battery on an individual with developmental disabilities. Despite the gravity of these charges, he was released after only nine days.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had filed an immigration detainer for Emile, requesting that he be held for deportation proceedings. However, the request was denied by authorities in Boston, a sanctuary jurisdiction that limits collaboration with federal immigration authorities. This refusal to comply with ICE detainers has become a common practice in such jurisdictions, resulting in the release of individuals who may pose a threat to public safety.
The release of Emile highlights the limitations of sanctuary policies and their impact on the enforcement of immigration laws. By refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, these jurisdictions prioritize the protection of undocumented immigrants over public safety. In this case, Emile was able to evade deportation and continue to reside in the community, potentially posing a risk to others.
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations have now re-arrested Emile and plan to pursue his deportation after the resolution of his criminal proceedings. Despite this action, the incident raises questions about the effectiveness of the current system in addressing the issue of illegal immigration and protecting communities from individuals who may pose a threat.
Authorities in sanctuary jurisdictions need to reconsider their policies and strike a balance between compassion for undocumented immigrants and ensuring public safety. The failure to comply with ICE detainers compromises the integrity of our immigration system and puts innocent lives at risk. It is crucial that law enforcement agencies collaborate and work together to prioritize public safety and uphold the rule of law.
The case of Pierre Lucard Emile serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform. The current system, which allows for the release of individuals charged with serious crimes, undermines public trust and the fundamental principles of justice. It is imperative that policymakers address these issues and find solutions that prioritize public safety while respecting the rights of all individuals involved.
In conclusion, the recent incident in Boston, where an illegal immigrant charged with rape was released due to sanctuary policies, highlights the challenges and concerns surrounding the enforcement of immigration laws. It is essential that a balance be struck between compassion for undocumented immigrants and the responsibility to protect communities. Comprehensive immigration reform is needed to address these issues and ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals residing in the United States.
