Illegal Aliens Charged With Sexual Assault of Children in MA Are Being Released With Low Bail
In November of last year, it was reported that dozens of children in Massachusetts had been sexually assaulted by illegal immigrants in 2024.
Based on recent reports, we now know that this is still a problem. What’s truly maddening is that we are now learning that many of the suspects in these cases are released on absurdly low bail amounts.
Bill Melugin of FOX News tweeted some examples based on an article by CBS News in Boston.
Listed in his tweet:
– Guatemalan charged w/ 3 counts of aggravated child rape released on $7,500 bail. (ICE detainer ignored).- Guatemalan charged w/ aggravated child rape, (victim age 9 or below) released on $7,500 bail. (ICE detainer ignored).- Honduran charged w/ assault to rape & masked armed robbery released on his own recognizance with $0 bail. (ICE detainer ignored)- Worcester County had two illegal alien inmates charged w/ child rape who both received $500 bails.- Another was charged w/ fentanyl trafficking and released on $4,000 bond before ICE could arrive.
The CBS Boston article is written as a form of fact check and offers this disclaimer before listing all the examples cited by Melugin:
WBZ-TV decided to dig into the press releases of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Massachusetts to see if violent criminals are really being released by Cox or other law enforcement.After reviewing every press release from January to the present, WBZ found only one which said Boston Police released someone wanted by ICE. All of the other releases stated that individuals wanted by ICE were released from jails or courts.
So it’s not true but it technically is true? Is that it?
After going through all of the examples listed above, the article does a deep dive on the bail process:
Stephen Roth, a criminal defense and immigration attorney, says these bails are set by judges to reasonably assure someone reappears in court, not to ensure someone remains in custody.”There’s this list of criteria that they go through to determine if bail should be set and immigration status is not one of those categories,” Roth said.Prosecutors may also request a dangerousness hearing to keep a defendant behind bars. Attorney Jennifer Roman, a WBZ legal analyst, says detention all the way until trial is reserved for the most severe cases.”They’re primary focus is to ensure the safety of the public while minimizing the restraints or constraints on the defendant,” Roman said.WBZ learned that Jose Fernando-Perez and Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin both had dangerousness hearings and served some jail time before being released from court on conditions. Stivenson Omar Perez-Ajtzalan, only 19 years old, did not have a dangerousness hearing.
Make no mistake. This is happening because the liberal leaders of Massachusetts would rather put the people of the commonwealth at risk than lose their political pissing contest with President Trump.
For years now, we’ve listened to Democrats sanctimoniously proclaiming that ‘no one is above the law.’ The liberals who run Massachusetts might want to try proving that when it comes to protecting innocent children from assaults by people who aren’t even here legally.
