GOVERNOR HEALEY WILL NOT ALLOW ICE TO ARREST RAPISTS
Massachusetts, a sanctuary state, has been one of a number of states that have been overwhelmed by the illegal immigrants coming across the southern border.
The state has spent nearly $1.1 billion of taxpayers' money this fiscal year to house and feed the illegal border crossers who have often been placed in hotels converted into shelters.
In a disturbing incident on one such shelter, a 16-year-old female says she was raped multiple times by a 29-year-old man.
"She told the police officer that she was raped multiple times. It was probably the most disturbing conversation I’ve ever heard in my adult life," shelter manager Jon Fetherston said.
The man, identified as Gladimy Rodene, was arrested, removed from the shelter and was reportedly issued an abuse prevention order, which forbade him from approaching the Marlborough Holiday Inn or the school where his victim is a student.
Rodene reportedly sexually assaulted another girl, according to a report from a security guard recounting a statement from the original victim.
A spokesperson for ICE said that state authorities refused to cooperate with a detainer.
The news comes as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has said that her state police will "absolutely not" be cooperating with deportation efforts by the incoming Trump administration.
"Many of these families are migrants to Massachusetts, drawn here because we are and proudly have been a beacon to those in need," she wrote in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
