by G. George | February 23, 2025

On February 18, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement New Orleans arrested Jose Gomez-Chilel, a citizen of Guatemala. Gomez-Chilel has been convicted of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon, and was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

On February 3, 2025, ICE Boston arrested Jean Yves Ovilm, an illegal Haitian national who was charged with assault and a sex crime against a Massachusetts resident older than 14. Ovilme legally entered the United States Nov. 10, 2023, at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but he later violated the terms of his lawful admission.

“Mr. Ovilme posed a significant danger to our Massachusetts neighborhoods, and we will not tolerate such threats to our New England community. ICE Boston will continue our mission of arresting and removing illegal alien offenders” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde.
