ICE arrests Romanian fugitive convicted of murder, released from custody after crossing southern border | 6 Dec 2023 | Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last week arrested a Romanian fugitive who was released from custody in 2017, despite multiple criminal convictions in the U.S. and Europe, including murder. Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested the foreign fugitive last Friday in Watertown, Massachusetts, about 10 miles outside of Boston. His identity was not released. ICE said the man entered the U.S. near Hidalgo, Texas, in July 2017. Border officials at the time apprehended him and placed him in removal proceedings before he was released on his own recognizance. Since then, he’s also been convicted of theft and armed robbery in the U.S. He also has multiple felony convictions in Europe, including bodily harm, aggravated theft, financial fraud, and even murder, for which he served prison time in Romania.
