Fox News Correspondent Rides Along With Boston ICE, Observes Arrest Of Four Alleged Child Rapists And One MS-13 Gang Member
Over the weekend, Fox News released a special report in which they partnered with a Boston-based branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), discovering several sordid details relating to the arrest of four alleged child rapists and an MS-13 gang member, charged with a series of violent crimes.
Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin posted a summary of the report, writing that they had embedded with the ICE team and saw all the aforementioned arrests take place in a single morning.
“We embedded with a team of elite Boston based ICE deportation officers as they arrested four alleged child rapists & a violent MS-13 gang member in a single morning,” Melugin wrote in a lengthy post on X. “ICE says their detainer requests on all of these illegal aliens weren’t honored by local jurisdictions due to sanctuary policies in Massachusetts.”
Melugin wrote that ICE teams told him that the policies of Massachusetts “allow illegal aliens charged or convicted with heinous crimes to roam the streets after release without any notice, and make their job more dangerous because they have to find & arrest aliens charged or convicted with aggravated felonies on the streets, instead of having them handed over in a safe environment like a jail.”
Boston ICE Field Office Director Todd Lyons told Melugin that the sanctuary policies were “frustrating,” but said that the successful arrest of five illegal immigrants who were allegedly involved in such sordid crimes was a “testament to his team.”
However, Lyons admitted that ICE Boston can only do so much, as they struggle with staffing issues not only in Massachusetts, but nationwide.
“I don’t have enough officers or resources to tackle all these public safety threats,” he said. “Are we gonna go after the child rapist today, or are we gonna go after the twice deported fentanyl dealer? Because we can’t do both.”
During the video, Melugin asks Lyons “how are you guys not notified about a child rapist being released?”
“Unfortunately, in Massachusetts, that’s how it is with most of these sanctuary jurisdictions,” he responded
“Just this morning today, four accused child rapists and one MS-13 gang member. Those are the kind of people you’re going after,” Melugin said later in the video.
“That’s every day up here in Boston,” Lyons told Melugin. “Those are the public safety threats we really want to get off the street. It was a great day, great day for the team. Five public safety threats that can’t victimize anyone anymore.”
At the end of the clip, Melugin reiterated that those suspects were out on the streets because Massachusetts was non-compliant with detainer requests from ICE. He added that the suspects are, and will remain in, federal custody until their local charges are resolved, at which point they will be deported.
Melugin also reported on the arrest of illegal immigrant Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan TikTok star who repeatedly advised illegal migrants on how to squat in U.S. homes.
“Moreno previously crossed illegally into the U.S. in April 2022, and was released on ATD (alternatives to detention) and was instructed to report to ICE within 60 days, but never did,” Melugin reported on March 29. “ICE tells me a statement on his arrest will be coming later today.”
“Leonel Moreno is an unlawfully present citizen of Venezuela, who illegally entered the country April 23, 2022. Moreno was placed into the ATD program by Border Patrol and was told to report to Enforcement and Removal Operations office within 60 days of arriving at his destination. Moreno did not report as required,” the ICE statement read.
“On March 29, 2024, Moreno was arrested in Gahanna, Ohio by officers with ERO Detroit’s Columbus office, and is currently detained pending further immigration proceedings,” the statement concluded

Reuters: Biden Conveyed to Iran That It’s Attack on Israel Had to Be “Within Certain Limits”
Watch: Trump’s Plan how to make America Wealthy again!
- Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”
- Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.
Watch: Trump’s Plan how to make America Wealthy again! - The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.
- Middle East de-escalation efforts
- Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone’s interest.
- “Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits,” the source said.
- “In response, Iran said the reaction would be a response to Israel’s attack on its embassy in Damascus and that it would not go beyond this.”
- Iran, which neighbours Turkey, had vowed retaliation for what it called an alleged Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- Turkey’s foreign ministry later confirmed the contacts in a statement, saying Ankara had called for restraint and warned of a regional war if tensions escalated further.
- It said Ankara would continue efforts to prevent further conflict and escalation in the region.
- A Turkish security source said CIA chief William Burns had spoken to Ibrahim Kalin, head of Turkey’s MIT intelligence agency, over the Eid al-Fitr holidays and asked him to act as a “mediator” in the Israel-Iran tensions.
- The two discussed ceasefire efforts in Gaza as well, the source said, without elaborating.

Taiwan Quake Update: 9 Killed, 963 Injured, 50 Missing
- Taiwan’s biggest earthquake in at least 25 years killed nine people on Wednesday and injured more than 900, while 50 workers travelling in minibuses to a hotel in a national park were missing.
- Some buildings tilted at precarious angles in the mountainous, sparsely populated county of Hualien, near the epicentre of the 7.2 magnitude quake, which struck just offshore at about 8 a. m. (0000 GMT) and triggered massive landslides.
- Linda Chen, 48, said her apartment in downtown Hualien city had been so badly damaged in an earlier earthquake in 2018 that they had to move house. But her new apartment block was damaged too in the latest earthquake.
- “We worry the house could collapse anytime. We thought we had already experienced it once in Hualien and it would not hit us again, because God has to be fair,” she said.
- “We are frightened. We are so nervous.”
- The city’s mayor, Hsu Chen-Wei, said all residents and businesses in buildings that were in a dangerous state had been evacuated. Demolition work was beginning on four buildings, the mayor said.
- The power of the quake was captured live as news anchors delivered their bulletins, steadying themselves against giant screens as their sets swayed and lighting rigs rocked back and forth overhead.
- The earthquake hit at a depth of 15.5 km (9.6 miles), as people were headed for work and school, setting off a tsunami warning for southern Japan and the Philippines that was later lifted.
- Video showed rescuers using ladders to help trapped people out of windows. Strong tremors in Taipei forced the subway system to close briefly, although most lines resumed service.
- Fire authorities said they had already evacuated some 70 people trapped in tunnels near Hualien city, including two Germans.
- But they had lost contact with 50 workers aboard four minibuses heading to a hotel in a national park, Taroko Gorge, they said, and rescuers were looking for them. Another 80 people are trapped in a mining area, though it was not immediately clear if they were inside a mine.
- On a highway through the mountains, huge boulders from a landslide were strewn across the road. The Fire Bureau of Taichung City Government said it rescued a man in his 50s who was unconscious in a truck.
- FIGHTER JETS
- A woman who runs bed-and-breakfast accommodation in Hualien city said she scrambled to calm her guests who were scared by the quake.
- “This is the biggest earthquake I have ever experienced,” said the woman, who asked to be identified only by her family name, Chan.
- The government put the number of injured at 946.
- “At present the most important thing, the top priority, is to rescue people,” said President-elect Lai Ching-te, speaking outside one of the collapsed buildings in Hualien.
- The rail link to the area was expected to re-open on Thursday, Lai, who is set to take office next month, told reporters.
- The White House said the U.S. stood ready to provide any assistance necessary.
- Taiwan’s air force said six F-16 fighter jets had been slightly damaged at a major base in the city from which jets are often scrambled to see off incursions by China’s air force, but the aircraft are expected to return to service very soon.
- In Japan, the weather agency put the quake’s magnitude at 7.7, saying several small tsunami waves reached parts of the southern prefecture of Okinawa, while downgrading its tsunami warning to an advisory.
- In the Philippines, seismology officials warned coastal residents in several provinces to move to higher ground.
- Chinese state media said the quake was felt in the southeastern province of Fujian, while a Reuters witness said it was also felt in the commercial hub of Shanghai.
- CHIP SUPPLIES
- Aftershocks could still be felt in Taipei, with more than 50 recorded, weather officials said.
- Most power has been restored after the quake, electricity utility Taipower said, with the island’s two nuclear power stations unaffected.
- Taiwan’s high-speed rail operator said no damage or injuries were reported on its trains, although services would be delayed as it made inspections.
- A major supplier of chips to Apple and Nvidia Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co said it had evacuated some fabrication plants and safety systems were operating normally.
- It said later its workers were safe and had returned to their workplaces shortly after the earthquake. It said impacted facilities were expected to resume production during the night.
- TSMC’s Taipei-listed shares ended down 1.3%, but the benchmark index largely brushed off the quake’s impact to close down 0.6%.
- The official central news agency said the quake was the biggest since one of magnitude 7.6 in 1999 that killed about 2,400 people and damaged or destroyed 50,000 buildings.
- Taiwan weather officials ranked Wednesday’s quake in Hualien as “Upper 6”, or the second-highest level of intensity on a scale ranging from 1 to 7.
- Such quakes collapse walls unless they are made of reinforced concrete blocks, while people cannot stand upright and must crawl in order to move, experts say.
