MS-13 gang member arrested by ICE previously released due to sanctuary policy

An MS-13 gang member arrested by federal immigration authorities in Massachusetts last week was facing state gun charges and had previously been ordered to be deported before he was released by a Boston court.

"Luis Adolfo Guerra-Perez is an illegally present gang member, who has shown complete disregard for American laws," said acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. "He is a member of a violent street gang charged with illegally possessing a high-capacity firearm and drugs. We will not tolerate such offenders to threaten the residents of our New England neighborhoods."

On May 8, 2021, federal authorities released Guerra. An immigration judge ordered him to be deported in October 2024.

The court further ignored an ICE detainer request because of sanctuary policies and ordered Guerra released on Jan. 22 despite being a member of a gang and the pending drug and gun charges against him.
