ICE nabs 5 illegal immigrants wanted for murder abroad in New England crackdown

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Boston announced the arrests of five illegal immigrants over the past month who are wanted for murder and other violent crimes in their home countries, including several subjects of Interpol Red Notices.

The agency said in a series of posts on X that ‘‘each illegally entered the United States during the Biden administration's disastrous open border policy.’’

ICE said the migrants were apprehended in New England and are wanted overseas for serious violent offenses, including homicide and attempted homicide.

‘‘ERO Boston has always been—and will continue to be—strongly committed to targeted enforcement actions against the most dangerous criminal aliens, ensuring the safety and security of our New England communities,’’ ICE Boston said.
