Juan Alberto Rodezno-Marin, a Honduran national with a history of illegal entry into the U.S., was arrested by ICE on charges of serious crimes including indecent assault, armed robbery, and assault with a dangerous weapon. Previously deported multiple times between 2007 and 2009, Rodezno-Marin allegedly poses a significant threat to public safety in Massachusetts. Despite an ICE detainer issued during his confinement in late 2022, a Massachusetts court ruling complicates immigration enforcement, barring law enforcement from honoring such requests for detainment beyond expected release times.
"Mr. Rodezno will have his day in court, but he stands accused of some horrific crimes." - Patricia H. Hyde, acting field office director of ICE ERO Boston.
"Not only did he repeatedly break U.S. immigration laws, but he apparently presents a substantial threat to the residents of Massachusetts." - Patricia H. Hyde.
"A 2017 Supreme Judicial Court decision bars law enforcement agencies from honoring such requests, stating Massachusetts law does not give authority to court officers to arrest and hold an individual beyond the time they are expected to be released."
