A member of the international crime gang MS-13 who illegally entered the U.S. and was released into the country under the Biden administration was arrested by federal immigration officers in Boston last week.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on Wednesday that Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston took 19-year-old Guatemalan national Luis Adolfo Guerra-Perez into custody in Boston on Jan. 22.
“Luis Adolfo Guerra-Perez is an illegally present gang member, who has shown complete disregard for American laws,” said acting Boston Field Office Director Patricia Hyde on Wednesday.
“He is a member of a violent street gang charged with illegally possessing a high-capacity firearm and drugs,” Hyde said. We will not tolerate such offenders to threaten the residents of our New England neighborhoods. ERO Boston will continue to arrest and remove egregious alien offenders from our communities.”
According to ICE, Guerra entered the U.S. illegally on March 21, 2021, over the southern border. He was given a notice to appear before an immigration judge, and was released into the country by ERO Dallas on an Order of Recognizance — an alternative to migrant detention — on May 8, 2021.
Guerra was ordered removed from the U.S. by a Department of Justice immigration judge on Oct. 2, 2024. Regardless of that order, he appeared to have remained at large for several months until he was arrested on other criminal charges in New England earlier this month.
The Guatemalan illegal alien was arraigned in the East Boston District Court on Jan. 3 for the charges of possession of a large capacity firearm, possession of a class D controlled substance, possession of a firearm without a permit and possession of ammunition.
Despite ICE lodging an immigration detainer against Guerra, he was released from custody by the East Boston District Court on Jan. 21.
However, he was again apprehended by ICE the following day on Wednesday, Jan. 22. He will remain in ERO custody pending his deportation to Guatemala.

Why do these Democratic operatives keep releasing these thugs?
One way ticket to Guantanamo for this low life .
We have NO need for these people .
Get them the hell out of here .
Let’s take out the trash .
Keep screwing with Tom Homans efforts for ICE to grab these criminals, Boston and you will feel the entire wrath of the Trump administration come down on the state of Massachusetts. The legal citizens are not on your side of this fight.
Fly him direct to Guantanamo on a helicopter .
Two miles out while over the water give the SOB a choice .
Land at Gitmo and stay there forever ———or step out the door now ….your choice kid
No big loss either way .
Its like shoveling out a dirty barn stall .
It needs to be done daily .
Watch me cry fake tears for this poor immigrant kid . Stinking MS trash . Gone .
it will be interesting to watch Mass politicians pivot
