ICE Arrests Six Illegal Immigrants on Nantucket for Alleged Sex Crimes

The suspects, accused of various sexual offenses including child rape, were detained in a multi-day operation by ICE's Boston office.

Three of the suspects, all from El Salvador, are charged with raping children, including one facing 11 counts of child sexual assault.
Other arrests include a Guatemalan national and a Brazilian national, both charged with sexual assault and battery on individuals over 14.
The operation targeted violent offenders and was conducted on the affluent island of Nantucket, known for its high property values.
The suspects had either entered the U.S. illegally or re-entered after previous deportations, highlighting ongoing border security challenges.
The arrests come amid a broader surge in illegal immigration and related crimes, with ICE officials emphasizing their commitment to public safety.
