    Massachusetts has seen a spike in illegal migrants arrested for sex
    offenses over the last several months as the state and city of Boston
    have pledged to resist President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations.

    Since August, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officials
    have arrested 26 illegal migrants in the Boston area for sex crimes
    against children ranging from child rape to sexual assault to
    distributing child pornography.

    Many of these migrants were previously removed from the U.S. only to
    later illegally re-enter the country.

    As recently as Dec. 3, an illegal migrant, Adrian Patricio
    Huerta-Nivelo, 25, was removed by ICE after it was discovered he was
    wanted for rape of a minor in his home country of Ecuador.

    Nivelo’s removal came just a day after the Boston City Council
    unanimously voted to reaffirm a 2019 measure restricting Boston police’s ability to cooperate with ICE in deporting illegal migrants. The measure
    seeks to protect immigrant communities from "unjust enforcement actions"
    and restricts Boston police’s ability to cooperate with ICE and bans
    police from keeping migrants in custody for possible deportation unless
    there is a criminal warrant.

    Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has also vowed that state police would "absolutely not" assist Trump in the mass deportations operation.

    Despite this, a spokesperson for Healey denied that Massachusetts is a "sanctuary state," telling Fox News Digital that "as a former prosecutor
    and attorney general, the governor believes violent criminals should be deported."

    Boston officials have been largely silent on the series of sex crimes
    against residents in the city. Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, and the
    Boston City Council did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
