An illegal alien from Guatemala has been arrested in Massachusetts and charged with raping a child.
Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz, 21, entered the country illegally in the Eagle Pass area in September 2020. He was arrested in Boston by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month.
Specific charges against De Paz-Munoz include rape of a child by force, rape of a child, and indecent assault and battery against a minor.
Acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston asserted after the arrest that “Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz stands accused of horrifically victimizing a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to our neighborhoods.”
“We owe it to the children of our New England communities to prioritize public safety above everything else,” Hyde continued. “ERO Boston stands committed to arresting and removing egregious noncitizen threats from the community.”
Paz-Munoz has a history of being detained and released.
After his crossing near Eagle Pass in 2020, he was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol. However, he was given a notice to appear before an immigration judge and released into the country.
Nearly four years later, in February 2024, he was arrested a second time. The Great Barrington Police Department in Boston took him into custody for the rape of a child by force.
ERO Boston subsequently lodged an immigration detainer with the police department. However, the detainer was ignored, and De Paz-Munoz was released on bail.
He was arrested again earlier this month. ICE reports, “The Berkshire County Superior Court charged De Paz-Munoz with the crimes, which remain pending, and De Paz-Munoz remains in ERO custody.”
Illegal aliens continue to commit violent crimes against American citizens.
In August, another Guatemalan national with a history of repeatedly entering the United States was charged with second-degree rape.
Darvin Joel Mendez-Lopez, 27, was charged with assaulting a Massachusetts resident and continued re-entry into the country after already being deported once before.
“Our officers cannot allow such individuals to threaten our communities. ERO Boston remains dedicated to our mission of prioritizing public safety by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from our New England neighborhoods,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said at the time.
