Massachusetts mother slams Healey’s immigration policies, two illegals arrested for sex crimes

A Massachusetts mother has told the nation she worries about her children and their safety as two illegal immigrants who came to the Bay State are in custody for alleged sex crimes against minors.

Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston arrested unlawfully present Colombian national Mateo Hincapie Cardona on Oct. 29 after the Suffolk County House of Corrections failed to honor an inmate and release him 10 days early, according to authorities.

Boston police took the 28-year-old into custody on October 16 on charges of enticing a child under 16, distributing obscene matter and lasciviously posing and exhibiting a child in the nude.

Cardona was arraigned in Charlestown District Court on the day of his arrest, and ERO Boston filed a detainer — a request that local or state law enforcement authorities “maintain custody of the noncitizen for a period not to exceed 48 hours after the time the individual would otherwise have had. be released.”

ERO Boston saw the Suffolk County House of Corrections deny the request, while immigration officials later found and arrested Cardona in East Boston, authorities said.

Cardona is believed to have entered the country on April 26, when Border Patrol agents encountered him near Lukeville, Arizona, where they arrested him the same day and released him on personal recognizance.

Holden resident Stephanie Mulroy, a mother of four school-age children, highlighted the case in an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday, calling the alleged crimes “heinous.”

“That’s just one of thousands of people wandering our streets, in our schools, in our hotels and shelters across this state,” Mulroy told America Reports co-host Sandra Smith. “Parents can’t just let their kids walk into town to get a soda without wondering who might intercept them along the way. It’s terrifying.”

Two days after ERO Boston arrested Cardona, officers took a 36-year-old Brazilian fugitive, Andre Tiago Lucas, into custody in Bourne in connection with the rape of a 13-year-old child in his native country, according to authorities.

Lucas was convicted of the rape of a vulnerable person and sentenced to nine years and four months in prison in Brazil in December 2016. Lucas reportedly fled his country and settled in Massachusetts before his sentence.

Mulroy, a member of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee and Holden Select Board, said while she worries about her children and their safety, she also has compassion. She talked about how the Bay State “was diverse” when she went to school with non-English speaking classmates in the 1980s.

“Our Right to Shelter Act, introduced in the 1980s, has been abused and misinterpreted by Maura Healey throughout her administration,” Mulroy said of the governor, “so much so that she created the Commonwealth to be actually a magnet for criminals.”

Massachusetts remains the only state in the nation to have a right-to-shelter law since its passage in 1983, with the legislation guaranteeing emergency shelter only to families with children and women pregnant with their first child.

Like the migrant crisis With the emergency system strained for months, Healey’s critics are condemning the governor for not prioritizing American citizens first, especially veterans.

Healey doubled earlier this week on her position last week that she has no immigration enforcement authority and that they I will not use the Massachusetts State Police to aid in newly elected President Trump’s mass deportation efforts.

Healey has also said she wants Trump to deliver on his border-related promises.

Mulroy told Fox News that she is working with Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, to get a Republican candidate “in line for the next (governor) election” in 2026.

“She is absolutely hypocritical,” Mulroy said of Healey’s views. “She relies on emotional appeals from people and does not take the facts into account.”

“The facts are that we have a housing crisis here in Massachusetts,” Mulroy added, “which she seems to be very vocal about but is making no resources or no motions to actually deport the people who are exercising our right to shelter or delete. to introduce law in an unlawful manner so that young mothers, the homeless and veterans cannot use the resources we have here.”
