Federal officials announced that they apprehended another Brazilian man on Island last month with a record of possessing and distributing controlled substances in Edgartown.
According to Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston — an agency under the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a 21-year-old noncitizen unlawfully entered the country in June of 2021 near Imperial Beach, California without being inspected or admitted by customs officials.
Officers with ERO Boston made the arrest on Sept. 18 in Oak Bluffs. The man remains in ERO custody. The agency has not released his identity.
This arrest coincides with several others in recent months between Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
Officials have said that ICE detains individuals that are undocumented and that they deem to be a threat to the community. The agency would not speak directly to the Times as to why an increase in ICE arrests have been reported between the two Islands and released a similar statement as previous arrests.
“Not only did this Brazilian noncitizen break U.S. immigration laws, but he attempted to distribute drugs on Martha’s Vineyard,” ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde said in a statement. “We will not tolerate such activities to continue in our communities. ERO Boston will continue to persistently arrest and remove egregious noncitizen offenders from our New England neighborhoods.”
The Edgartown District Court issued the Brazilian noncitizen a “continued without a finding,” for the offense of possession to distribute Class B controlled substances Aug. 23 of this year.
The court sentenced the noncitizen to two years of supervised release.
The Boston ERO office has made at least four other arrests on the Vineyard in recent months, according to statements it has released.
Twenty-eight-year-old Gustavo Augusto Mroczkoski was arrested on Sept. 17; two international fugitives who were not identified were arrested, also on Sept. 17; 24-year-old Brazilian national Warley Neto was arrested in August.
I’m shocked. Shocked! I thought they got the last of them already. You mean to tell us that there are more? How many? LOL. When the Biden/Harris administration declared our border was open on day 1, it was a green light to anyone who wanted to rush the border. Over 10 million got in along with at least 2 million “got aways.” Just a sample of what is happening across the country…
Peter, I’m shocked that anyone would would excuse Trump’s awful behavior. We know that Trump has violently attacked at least two women, committed fraud when buying loans, has a deep friendship with Putin, one of our greatest political enemies, destroyed the soybean farmers in the US, created an alliance between Brazil and China against the US (is that treason?), and created inflation by implementing tariffs.
And when I point this out to people they say, “Hunter Biden’s laptop.” Really?
We’re going to throw away our democracy if we vote for Trump.
Peter, the border has never been open.
The border has never been closed.
Wake up.
A closed border would put millions of of hard working American citizens out of work.
We have tried Isolationism.
It sucks.
There are people in this country who came in
illegally and have committed crimes. Well, what
do you know ?– they are being apprehended and deported.
By the Biden/Happis administration ==
Even the one’s who came here before them. That must be shocking news for
the misinformed here. I imagine it is even more shocking
for them to find out that they have been lied to about the number of
people who have been released into this country and how many
have been deported by the Biben/Harris administration.
SPOILER ALERT — It’s nowhere near 10 million.
So shocked in fact, that they will refuse to believe the actual
statistics presented to them by immigration officials.
If they even bother to look at my “Hi mom” link with actual
facts, they will simply say they are not true, and believe the
guy who claims “they’re eating the dogs”. You know, that same guy
who claims all his rallies are packed full and no one ever leaves early.
Don’t believe the videos they will say— And don’t forgot that he said
“they’re eating the cats” at a debate he claims he won. He said he would
do 3 debates– but it seems he is too busy telling the people of Detroit
about how the whole country will be as bad as Detroit if Harris is elected
and he will end all wars and make sure all women feel safe and
protected –except of course the “filthy”and “dumb” ones who disagree
with some of the “filthy” and “dumb” things he says.
It also must be true that FEMA is broke because
they gave all the money to
“illegals” who one can assume “are eating the pets of the people who live there”.
I guess all the people at FEMA and the republican governors who
have been in contact with Biden and think the federal response to recent
“normal” disasters has been
really good are liars also.
Yeah,much better to just blindly follow the cult leader and believe that Mexico
paid for the wall, the 2020 election was rigged,
and that China will give us trillions of dollars to pay
for child care. But ok– perhaps I’m wrong, and people like Mr. Robb will actually
read this ;

Time to turn the page on the disastrous biden/harris agenda!
Don, the Border Patrol union just came out for Trump. That means a lot, considering the Biden/harris border crisis. (Now we hear about friction between biden and Harris due to the DNC coup that installed an unpopular, unserious and inexperienced harris, the dems DEI choice.)
Peter, let’s see if Keller will now change his tune on the border since he has frequently admonished conservatives that we need to listen to the people on the ground. Well they have spoken and they say they need trump to secure the border and our safety. The number one thing that the government is responsible for, keeping it citizens safe, and they have failed. Listen to the professional law enforcement men and woman and give them what they need to keep us safe. They asked for Trump it’s up to us to do our patriotic duty and give them what they asked for. Vote Trump for our safety and security
Just the tip of the illegal Migrant Crime Wave.
The unvetted and unvaccinated walk among us.
A Big Thank You to our “Border Czar!
Joseph– there has never been a “border czar”. Not once in the
248 year history of our country.
Every single person who is taken into ICE custody is offered
a variety of vaccinations– including COVID.You certainly wouldn’t want
them to be forced to take them , would you ?
If you want to see “the unvaccinated” walking among
us, watch a Trump rally– To paraphrase something that someone said a
while ago on this site “If you see someone walking down the street with
a MAGA hat, cross the street and treat them as if they were carrying
a machete. “
Impeach Mayorkis! Oh, he already was…
What’s even more mind boggling is that you still have liberals defending this policy and gaslighting people that’s it’s not a problem. Or worse yet some how applauding the administration for deporting illegals like it’s something they have been doing all along. This reminds me of the hyper environmentalist who defends heating his home with firewood saying it super clean when we know that’s just not true.
Carl, how has it personally impacted you?
Joseph, the unvaccinated walk among us?
You mean conservatives are anti-vax?

If I were a betting person, I’d wager that no one is going to click on and read even one of these 7 links on the Covid vaccine, most links coming from liberal biased sources.
If Trump is elected, help us all. He promised to inflict tariffs and more inflation. He promised to throw Ukraine under the bus, because that’s what Trump’s friend, Putin wants. And since Trump has been playing footsie with the Russian mob for more than 40 years, we might as well annex ourselves to Russia. The Russia that poisons people. The Russia that murders journalists.
How can an AMERICAN vote for a person who has vowed to commit acts that will destroy our democracy and our nation?
