ICE Removes Honduran Homicide Suspect from Massachusetts to Honduras

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recently made significant arrests and deportations of fugitives wanted in their home countries. Leandro Romano de Souza, a Brazilian fugitive wanted for drug trafficking, was apprehended in Massachusetts after illegally entering the U.S. in 2024. Similarly, Batista Matos, a Dominican man implicated in a human smuggling operation that led to the deaths of three minors, was deported to the Dominican Republic for the fifth time after being taken into custody in Puerto Rico. Additionally, Rene Alejandro Rosales-Vindel, a Honduran national with a criminal record in the U.S., was removed to Honduras where he faces homicide charges. ICE officials emphasized their commitment to collaborating with international law enforcement to ensure that criminal aliens are swiftly removed from U.S. communities. These cases reflect ICE's ongoing efforts to prioritize public safety and hold fugitives accountable for their actions.
