Federal immigration enforcement agents arrested a Haitian national who is in the country illegally after he was charged with the rape and sexual battery of a “developmentally disabled person,” according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Pierre Lucard Emile, 31, was arrested by Boston Police in Dorchester last September on heinous sexual assault charges. ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston field office states that it had lodged an immigration detainer against the Haitian citizen. However, the municipal court in Dorchester released him following his arraignment on the charges there.

“Disturbingly and despite our filing an immigration detainer, this individual was released back into the community by the criminal court,” said Todd Lyons, the field office director for the Boston ERO. “The men and women of ERO Boston continue to protect the community from those who pose a real public safety threat to our communities.”

According to an ERO statement, agents arrested him without incident in Dorchester on Jan. 9. He is in ICE custody as his local criminal case is prosecuted in the court, after which he is subject to a hearing before a federal immigration judge.
