NEW: ICE Boston has arrested a Turkish illegal alien in the sanctuary city of Somerville, MA after he was charged with assault & battery of an intellectually disabled person & witness intimidation. He had been released into the community by the Somerville District Court, which ICE says ignored their detainer request.

ICE statement:

“This is a tragic example of what can go wrong when local jurisdictions refuse to honor immigration detainers,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “The local jurisdiction ignored our detainer and released Berkan Karamurtlu into the community. Unfortunately, he re-offended resulting in a second arrest for assaulting an intellectually disabled resident."

I’ve covered a lot of illegal immigration related stories around the country in recent years.

Massachusetts is the only state that frequently releases illegal aliens charged w/ aggravated child rape & refuses to cooperate w/ ICE on detainer requests for them. Even in other sanctuary states & cities, I almost never see a lack of cooperation for child rape.

In this case, a Guatemalan charged with 3x forcible child rape & 3x aggravated child rape was released on bail by Essex County, MA, with ICE Boston saying their detainer request was ignored & they were not notified of his release.

During one of my embeds with ICE Boston last year, they arrested four illegal aliens charged w/ child rape in a single morning. All of them had been released by local jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored.

I asked a MA law enforcement source how this keeps happening there? And how does someone charged with so many counts of forcible & aggravated child rape even get bail in the first place?

“Welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” is the response I got.

The scumbag who ambushed officer Jason Roscow was convicted in 2019 for carrying a concealed weapon and had an active bench warrant out for his arrest.

GET THIS: He pleaded no contest to the gun charge, so a judge sentenced him to a suspended six-month jail sentence (meaning he’d only go to jail if he faced a new charge).

BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee has advanced Kash Patel out of committee. He is now headed for a final, full Senate confirmation vote to become the next Director of the FBI.

Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a message to blue cities and blue states not enforcing immigration law by targeting New York State's green light laws.

 The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is urging the public to stay alert and protect themselves from increasingly common Cyber Love Frauds.

Scammers are targeting individuals through social media, dating apps, and messaging platforms, building fake romantic relationships to exploit emotions and steal money.

How Cyber Love Fraud Works:
1. Initial Contact: The scammer often begins by reaching out to you through a dating site or social media.

2. Building Trust: Over time, they’ll build a personal connection, making you feel like you’ve found someone special.

3. The Request for Money: Once trust is built, the scammer will fabricate an emergency or urgent situation (medical issue, travel emergency, etc.) and request money or gifts.

4. Red Flags: These scammers are skilled at manipulating emotions and often create convincing stories.

How to Protect Yourself:
1. Do Your Research
2. Don’t Send Money
3. Never send sexually explicit images
4. Talk to a Trusted Person
5. Report Suspicious Activity

What to Do If You’re a Victim:
Report the fraud by making a report at one of our Sheriff’s stations or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) www.ic3.gov and inform the platform where you met the scammer.

Remember, if something feels off, trust your instincts and stay safe online.
