ICE Arrests Former Presidential Candidate
ICE Arrests Haitian National for Immigration Fraud, Gang Ties
ICE arrested Pierre Reginald Boulos, a Haitian citizen and U.S. permanent resident, in Miami for immigration fraud and suspected ties to Haitian gang Viv Ansanm. The gang is labeled a foreign terrorist organization.
Authorities allege Boulos failed to disclose his founding role in MTVAyiti, a nationalist political party in Haiti. He’s also under investigation in Haiti for misusing business loans.
ICE claims his omissions during the immigration process are fraudulent and may lead to deportation.
“Individuals who gain legal status in the United States must not support or aid criminal or terrorist groups,” said an ICE official, stressing national security risks.
Multiple U.S. agencies are involved in the investigation, including the State Department and USCIS. In a separate case, ICE re-arrested Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez in Chicago for allegedly hiding a decapitated woman’s body, intensifying scrutiny on ICE’s enforcement efforts.
