ICE Boston arrests 5 foreign fugitives wanted for murder in a month

All 5 foreign fugitives were attempting to evade homicide charges in their native countries BURLINGTON, Mass. — In the past month, ICE Boston has arrested five fugitive illegal aliens throughout New England. All five illegal alien offenders have foreign arrest warrants for murder or homicide in their home countries, and some are facing additional charges. These fugitives, who are typically among the illegal aliens mislabeled as “non-criminals” by the media and activists, are not counted among the nearly 70% of ICE arrests with U.S. criminal histories — simply because they committed their horrendous crimes outside the United States.

“Even though some of these foreign fugitives had no criminal charges in the United States, all endangered our New England communities,” said ERO Boston acting Field Office Director David T. Wesling. “We will continue to pursue these dangerous criminal aliens that sanctuary politicians fight to protect.”

All five fugitive aliens illegally entered the United States under the disastrous open border policies of the Biden administration. Those arrested are:

• Danny Granados-Garcia, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested March 10 in Waterbury, Connecticut. He is a wanted fugitive in El Salvador, with an arrest warrant issued Feb. 11 for aggravated homicide and being a member of a terrorist organization.
• Kele Cristian Alves-Pereira, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil, was arrested March 13 in Everett, Massachusetts. Authorities in Brazil issued a warrant for Alves-Periera for the offense of murder on Feb. 22, 2021.
• Magno Jose Dos Santos, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil, was arrested March 22 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Authorities in Brazil issued a warrant for Dos Santos for the criminal charges of homicide and attempted crime on May 12, 2021.
• Bryan Rafael Gomez, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, was arrested April 4 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Authorities in the Dominican Republic issued an arrest warrant for him Jan. 24, 2023, for homicide.
• Altieris Chaves Paiva, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil, was arrested April 5 in Falmouth, Massachusetts. He is the subject of a foreign arrest warrant issued on April 24, 2024, for homicide, and is wanted by authorities in Brazil. ICE Boston has always been, and will remain, strongly committed to prioritizing the safety of New England communities through targeted immigration enforcement actions against the most dangerous criminal aliens.
