Massachusetts Woman Strangled by Brazilian Illegal Immigrant Who was Released into US by Biden; ICE Has Issued etDainer for Framingham Fatal Assault Suspect

Massachusetts woman strangled by Brazilian illegal immigrant who was released into US by Biden:

Federal authorities say they arrested an illegal immigrant accused of strangling a woman to death inside her Massachusetts home on Tuesday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement say Flavio Alcantara Dias, 43, is an illegal immigrant from Brazil who was released into the US under former President Joe Biden’s administration, despite previous arrests for DUI and aggravated assault.

“Alcantara Dias illegally entered the United States in April 2019. In October 2024, an immigration judge granted Alcantara Dias’ motion to terminate his immigration hearings based on a technicality, bringing his immigration case to an end despite his criminal history and unlawful presence in the United States. He was then released into the country by the Biden administration,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.

“The safest way to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our streets is by lodging arrest detainers. 7 of the top 10 safest cities in the United States cooperate with ICE. We are urging the Framingham Police Department to participate in a controlled transfer of this criminal illegal alien to get him out of our communities once and for all,” the statement continued.

“Our message is clear: if you come into our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you,” DHS added.

Middlesex County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Brandt recounted a 911 call Dias made after an altercation with the 33-year-old Brianna Connolly in her home last week.--->READ MORE HERE

Reports: ICE has issued detainer for Framingham fatal assault suspect:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a detainer against Flavio Alcantara Dias, the man charged in connection with the death of a Framingham woman on Aug. 27, according to several reports.

According to WCVB-TV and other outlets, a spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security said a detainer was issued Aug. 27 against Dias, and that he entered the United States illegally from Brazil in 2019. The spokesperson reportedly said Dias was previously charged in a drunken-driving case, as well as for aggravated assault with a weapon.

Attempts to reach the Department of Homeland Security were not immediately successful.

According to reports, Dias filed a motion to terminate his immigration hearings in October 2024, and that an immigration judge granted the request on a technicality.

“The safest way to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our streets is by lodging arrest detainers," the DHS spokesperson told WCVB. "We are urging the Framingham Police Department to participate in a controlled transfer of this criminal illegal alien to get him out of our communities once and for all."

A Framingham Police spokesperson told the Daily News on Wednesday, Sept. 2, that Dias is not in their custody and referred questions to the Middlesex district attorney.

Dias' attorney, Lorenzo Perez, told the Daily News in an email that his client is in the custody of the Middlesex County Sheriff's Department. Perez said he is not aware of any action taken by ICE after the detainer was issued, but civil actions such as detainers typically come after the resolution of criminal actions. --->READ MORE HERE
