ERO Boston arrests previously removed Dominican national convicted of fentanyl trafficking
BOSTON — Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested an unlawfully present citizen of the Dominican Republic in Chestnut Hill on April 27. The Dominican national was previously convicted in U.S. federal court of possession and distribution of fentanyl.
“ERO Boston is committed to addressing the deadly epidemic of fentanyl that is ravaging our communities,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons. “The toll of fentanyl and its trafficking in our region has had a devastating impact on our communities. We will continue to track, apprehend and remove traffickers like this individual who have no right to be present in the country and whose drug dealing will not be tolerated.”
Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested the Dominican national, who unlawfully entered the United States before 2019, in November 2019. He was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl in April 2021 and sentenced to 21 months in U.S. federal prison.
