Undocumented immigrant accused of raping disabled person freed from jail, no ICE involvement
Illegal Alien Arrested for Sexual Crimes Released Back into Public, ICE Says
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials revealed this week that an illegal alien accused of sexual crimes was released back into the public after being apprehended.
According to ICE, the 31-year-old Haitian national was arrested on January 9 for rape and indecent assault and battery on a developmentally disabled person in Dorchester. Despite an immigration detainer lodged against him, the Dorchester District Court chose to disregard it and released him from jail.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that the suspect’s name is Pierre Lucard Emile, as confirmed by an ICE source. Although his name was not included in the ICE press release, he remains in ICE custody.

Expressing concern, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons stated, “Disturbingly and despite our filing an immigration detainer, this individual was released back into the community by the criminal court.”
The suspect entered the country illegally through the port of entry in Brownsville, Texas, in December 2022. He was issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge, as stated by ICE.

After being arrested by Boston police in September 2023, “ERO Boston lodged an immigration detainer with the Dorchester District Court seeking his custody.” However, the court chose not to honor the detainer, and the individual was released from jail in Boston on November 8, 2023, with an electronic monitoring device while awaiting the resolution of his criminal charges.
Upon discovering his recent arrest and unlawful immigration status, ERO Boston initiated an investigation to confirm his presence in their area of responsibility. Once confirmed, ERO Boston officers arrested him without incident in Dorchester on January 9.
How does the release of illegal aliens accused of serious crimes back into our communities undermine the safety and security of our nation?
Custody as ICE continues to pursue his removal from the United States.
This case highlights a concerning issue that has been plaguing our immigration system for years – the release of illegal aliens accused of serious crimes back into our communities. The lack of cooperation and adherence to detainers by local authorities puts innocent lives at risk and undermines the safety and security of our nation.
It is deeply troubling that despite the serious nature of the charges against Emile, the Dorchester District Court decided to release him, completely disregarding the immigration detainer issued by ICE. This decision not only endangers our community but also undermines the principle of accountability and justice.
As stated by ICE, the purpose of an immigration detainer is to allow federal authorities enough time to take custody of an illegal alien who has been arrested on local criminal charges. It provides a legal basis for the continued detention of an individual who poses a threat to public safety or national security. However, when local authorities choose not to honor these detainers, they effectively allow criminals to walk free without consequence.
This case is far from an isolated incident. There have been numerous instances where illegal aliens accused of serious crimes have been released back into society, only to commit more offenses. This not only puts innocent lives at risk but also undermines the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. When individuals see their local authorities turning a blind eye to detainers, they may be less likely to cooperate with law enforcement, hindering efforts to keep our communities safe.
It is essential for local jurisdictions to work in cooperation with federal immigration authorities to ensure the safety of our communities. By refusing to honor detainers, they are not only jeopardizing public safety but also creating a sanctuary for criminals. This is fundamentally wrong and goes against the idea of justice and accountability in our society.
The case of Pierre Lucard Emile should serve as a wake-up call for our lawmakers and local authorities. We must address the flaws in our immigration system that allow dangerous individuals to be released back into society without consequence. Those who have entered our country illegally and are accused of serious crimes should not be given a free pass to commit further offenses.
In conclusion, the release of an illegal alien accused of sexual crimes back into the public is a grave concern. It highlights the urgent need for collaboration between local and federal authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities. The disregard for immigration detainers not only puts innocent lives at risk but also undermines the principles of justice and accountability. It is crucial that we address this issue and work towards a more secure and just immigration system.
