House Judiciary Committee Investigates Entry of Haitian Migrant Charged with Rape

The inquiry focuses on the circumstances allowing the accused to enter the U.S. under a federal program, amid broader scrutiny of immigration policies.

  • The House Judiciary Committee, led by Reps. Jim Jordan and Tom McClintock, is probing how Cory Alvarez, charged with the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts, was allowed entry into the U.S.
  • Alvarez, a 26-year-old Haitian migrant, was charged with aggravated rape of a child and is currently held without bail.
  • The investigation seeks information from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Alvarez's entry and sponsorship under the Biden Administration's CHNV program.
  • Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey confirmed Alvarez's lawful entry through a federal program and emphasized the state's vetting processes.
  • The case has ignited discussions on immigration policies and the CHNV program, which allows migrants from certain countries to enter the U.S. legally for up to two years.
