Lyons. “We have been consistent in our promise to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders. This is not a hollow expression; it is a sincere promise to the residents of our New England communities.” Belafronte lawfully entered the United States on Oct 8, 2018. However, he violated the terms of his lawful admission. He voluntarily departed the United States April 18, 2021. Belafronte unlawfully reentered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, without being inspected, admitted or paroled by a U.S. immigration official. Nantucket Police arrested Belafronte June 9, 2021 and charged him with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older. The next day, Belafronte failed to appear at his arraignment, and the Nantucket District Court issued a default warrant for his arrest. Nantucket Police arrested Belafronte on the default warrant March 12. Later that day, the Nantucket District Court released Belafronte on bail. Nantucket Police arrested Belafronte June 9 and charged him with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older. The Nantucket District Court released Belafronte March 12 on bail. Officers with ERO Boston arrested Belafronte Sept. 11 on Nantucket Island and served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. Belafronte remains in ERO custody. ERO conducts removals of individuals without a lawful basis to remain in the United States, including at the order of immigration judges with Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. The Executive Office for Immigration Review is a separate entity from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case, determining if a noncitizen is subject to a final order of removal or eligible for certain forms of relief from removal. Members of the public with information regarding noncitizen offenders can report crimes or suspicious activity by dialing the ICE Tip Line at 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or completing the online tip form.
