U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston arrested Rudy Salvador-Perez, a 20-year-old Guatemalan national, on Dec. 13 after the Essex County House of Corrections released him into ICE custody. Salvador is accused of kidnapping, indecent assault and battery on a child, indecent exposure, and assault and battery.
“Mr. Salvador is in ERO custody and will remain there pending immigration proceedings,” said ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “The Essex County House of Correction in Middleton notified ERO Boston before releasing him because we’d lodged an immigration detainer against him, and we’re grateful for their partnership in keeping our communities safe.”
Salvador unlawfully entered the United States June 20, 2021, near Sasabe, Arizona. On Oct. 14, 2024, the Lynn Police Department arrested and charged him with kidnapping and other crimes related to indecency and assault and battery on a child.
ERO is one of ICE’s three operational directorates and the principal federal law enforcement authority in charge of domestic immigration enforcement. ERO’s mission is to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of those who undermine the safety of U.S. communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws, and its primary areas of focus are interior enforcement operations, management of the agency’s detained and non-detained populations, and repatriation of noncitizens who have received final orders of removal. ERO’s workforce consists of more than 7,700 law enforcement and non-law enforcement support personnel across 25 domestic field offices and 208 locations nationwide, 30 overseas postings, and multiple temporary duty travel assignments along the border.
