A convicted Brazilian drug trafficker who was caught and released by Border Patrol agents in Arizona more than a year ago was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a Massachusetts sanctuary city.
Fugitive operations officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested Diogo De-Sales Gomes, a 34-year-old unlawfully present Brazilian citizen convicted and sentenced to prison in Brazil for drug trafficking, in Somerville on Feb. 3, ICE Boston announced in a statement on Tuesday.
The Boston Herald reported that Somerville has been a sanctuary city since 1987. Amherst, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Concord, Newton and Northampton are also sanctuary cities to various degrees, the newspaper says.
