A Haitian migrant charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts was released on $500 bail, despite requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain him.

• Police say 26-year-old Cory Alvarez, one of 30,000 Haitian “asylum seekers” who entered the US via a controversial federal parole program, was charged with aggravated rape of a child in March. The incident took place at a converted migrant hotel in Massachusetts.

• ICE had filed a detainer requesting he be transferred into their custody for eventual deportation on March 14th. Despite these demands, officials from the Plymouth Superior Court held onto Alvarez and eventually released him on a measly $500 bond last week.

• While prosecutors had originally requested a more robust $25,000 bail, a judge set it at $500 and included conditions for home confinement, GPS monitoring, and the confiscation of his passport.

What they’re saying: Alvarez’s attorney told reporters that his client was innocent and should be trusted due to an alleged lack of physical injuries on the young victim.

• “No injuries were found on the alleged victim. The video surveillance depicts her going into the room and coming out eight minutes later, her clothing undisturbed, and walking by two members of the National Guard without comment,” said Brian A. Kelley, who confirmed his bail release.

• The defense also pointed to a Massachusetts migrant sanctuary law that found “no authority” to hold an individual solely on the basis of an ICE detainer.

Why it matters: The alleged rape of a young girl at the hands of another migrant underlines the growing concern many have over the phenomena known as “The Great Replacement.”

• Since 2021, more than 7 million migrants have entered the United States, with upwards of a million more unreported “gotaways” who have eluded law enforcement.

• The parole program that the Biden administration implemented has so far brought over 138,000 Haitians into the U.S. since January 2023. Many of those paroled come from a country wrought with criminality, gang violence, murder, and rumors of cannibalism.

• New England has been hit particularly hard by the effects of racial demographic change. Massachusets had declared a state of emergency after its “right-to-housing” laws made it difficult to accommodate the shelter demands of thousands of migrants resettled to over 80 majority-White towns.

In the headlines: In the US, migrants, illegal immigrants, and so-called “asylum seekers” are believed to be responsible for a growing number of violent crimes.

• In June, 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was finally apprehended for the brutal 2023 rape and murder of a White mother in Delaware. Martinez-Hernandez was said to have crossed the border illegally and wandered from coast to coast, committing crimes and living a “cheap life” on the run.

• Last week, 21-year-old Sakir Akkan, a Turkish migrant who crossed the southern border illegally, was arrested for the kidnapping and rape of a young girl in Albany, New York. Police were then said to have covered up the crime for months as a means to shield New York’s growing migrant community from added criticism.

• In March, 33-year-old Raul Benitez Santana, a drunk and high Mexican migrant with a lengthy criminal history, was arrested for the DUI crash that killed a rookie Washington State Trooper. Reports stated that at the time of the incident, Santana had been racing down the interstate at speeds over 100mph with his headlights off.
