Federal immigration authorities say they recently arrested in Lowell a 20-year-old Brazilian man accused of raping a minor after a Milford District Court judge "failed to honor" a request to detain him.
U.S. Border Patrol initially arrested the unnamed man July 28, 2021 along with his father and mother after they illegally entered Arizona from Mexico, according to a press release from Enforcement and Removal Operations, a law enforcement component of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They were released with an order to appear before a federal immigration judge at a future date.
