An illegal migrant found himself in quite the pickle after being arrested for allegedly raping a disabled child—yes, you read that right. Cory Bernard Alvarez, a 26-year-old Haitian national, was apprehended by ICE agents after strolling near his Brockton, Massachusetts home, following an embarrassing release from a sanctuary city notorious for its lax immigration policies.
Reports confirm that Alvarez was charged back in March with his heinous crime at a migrant housing location (commonly a Comfort Inn these days) designed to shelter those crossing our borders. It seems that even within the purported safety of this supposed shelter, danger lurked among unvetted migrants. To keep the cherry on top of this disaster sundae, Alvarez was released earlier on a mere $500 bond—something any responsible citizen knows is far too small a price to endanger children potentially.

The shocking revelation comes amidst a broader backdrop of growing concerns over illegal immigration policies, particularly in “sanctuary” states like Massachusetts. Local authorities did their best to raise alarms regarding the dangerous lack of cooperation with ICE, but instead of getting a meaningful response, they were met with silence. This sanctuary label isn’t just a badge of honor for the progressive crowd; it essentially amounts to a free pass for criminal migrants to roam while seemingly avoiding consequences for their actions.
To add insult to injury, Alvarez’s arrival in 2023 came through the CHNV program—the Biden administration’s mass-parole effort for several migrant nationalities, which was abruptly put on hold just recently due to rampant fraud. Local officials have wasted no time voicing their frustrations about how brokering the immigration process has put innocent lives at risk. Oh, the irony of government policies designed to help while simultaneously creating a breeding ground for criminal activity.
As Massachusetts scrambles to address an ongoing asylum housing crisis exacerbated by its sanctuary policies, it makes one wonder whether the message is finally sinking in. An entire community is left holding the bag, grappling with the consequences of putting ideology over safety. When the only thing standing between a criminal and justice is an overstuffed couch, it’s time for a real conversation about the implications of these so-called compassionate policies.
