Wealthy blue city sees four ICE arrests in two days on child sex allegations

The ongoing migrant crisis under the watch of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris continues to claim victims with the nation’s most innocent.

While the Democrat Party and their presidential nominee continue to point fingers and spew rhetoric, some recent migrant arrests are getting attention for their location and what they have in common.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made at least six arrests on the wealthy islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts with four suspects nabbed in a 48-hour period and most facing child sex allegations.

“I think many people are concerned about the violent illegal population. … The biggest thing is obviously not knowing anybody’s history if they’re here illegally. The legal immigrants will even discuss that,” the chair of the Nantucket GOP, Toby Brown, told Fox News Digital.

In August, 24-year-old Brazilian illegal immigrant Warley Neto was arrested by ICE on Martha’s Vineyard and is now facing five counts of raping a Massachusetts minor. ICE detainers were requested for Neto three times and he allegedly committed more crimes against a minor after being released early from prison.

“Warley Neto allegedly repeatedly assaulted a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to the safety of our neighborhoods,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said in a statement.

A 28-year-old Salvadoran illegal immigrant named Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo was arrested and charged with the rape of a child and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14.

“Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo stands accused of some detestable and disturbing crimes against a Nantucket child,” Lyons said after the arrest earlier this month. “He represents a significant danger to the children of our Massachusetts communities. ERO Boston will not tolerate such a threat to the most vulnerable of our population.”

Salvadoran national Elmer Sola was arrested on Sept. 10 and charged with a staggering 11 counts of sex crimes against a child; “specifically, three counts of aggravated rape of a child and eight counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14,” Fox News reported.

Gean Do Amaral Belafronte, an illegal immigrant from Brazil was arrested on Sept. 11 and charged with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years or older.

“Gean Do Amaral Belafronte unlawfully entered the United States, made his way to Nantucket, and allegedly sexually assaulted one of our residents,” Lyons said in a statement. “We have been consistent in our promise to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders. This is not a hollow expression; it is a sincere promise to the residents of our New England communities.”

Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez, a 41-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested the same day as Belafronte and charged with committing a sex crime against a Nantucket resident.

“Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez was previously removed from the United States following convictions for reckless driving and reckless endangerment,” Lyons said. “He then unlawfully reentered the country and made his way to our Nantucket community to apparently commit a sex crime against a resident here.”

Fox News noted that another arrest in the sting operation is expected to be announced this week.

“It’s such a small island that I find that things have gotten a little worse here on Nantucket,” Toby Brown told Fox News Digital, noting that most of the island’s wealthy residents are rather removed from the problems that have been cropping up.

“Once again, they’re in big estates. And unfortunately, on Nantucket, the mainstream press, for the most part, would like people to think this place is still kind of just like Disneyland and we have zero issues on the island,” he said.
