US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations On October 8, Boston deported Alvi Grant Baez Guzman, 25, of the Bronx, New York, to the Dominican Republic. His home country wanted Baez as a fugitive for murder.
“The Worcester County House of Corrections let us know that they were going to release Baez ahead of time,” said ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “That’s how immigration detainers are supposed to work. When ERO Boston’s officers can cooperate with local law enforcement, we can arrest potentially dangerous criminal noncitizens in safe, controlled locations. That helps protect our officers, the public and the noncitizens we arrest, and we really value Worcester County’s cooperation.”
On an unknown date and location, Baez, also known as Grullon Antonio, Johan, Moniker, and Albin, unlawfully entered the United States without an immigration officer’s inspection or parole.
On June 19, the Northborough Police Department arrested Baez for stealing and an identification violation; the next day, the Westborough District Court granted him bail. The Worcester County House of Corrections in West Boylston informed ERO Boston that Baez’s release was imminent.
ERO Boston apprehended Baez on June 20 at the Worcester County House of Corrections. Following his arraignment on larceny and identity charges, officials issued him a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. On September 16, a judge ordered his removal to the Dominican Republic, and on October 8, ERO Boston deported him.
