ICE Arrests Former Presidential Candidate
Haitian National Arrested in Miami
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Pierre Reginald Boulos, a Haitian citizen and U.S. green card holder, in Miami for immigration fraud and suspected links to Haitian gang activity.
Alleged Gang Ties and Fraud
Authorities believe Boulos supported Viv Ansanm, a gang labeled a foreign terrorist group, contributing to instability in Haiti. He’s accused of hiding his role as a founder of MTVAyiti, a political party, during his immigration process. ICE stated, “Individuals who gain legal status in the United States must not support or aid criminal or terrorist groups.”
National Security Concerns
U.S. officials argue Boulos’s omissions threaten national security and may lead to deportation. He’s also being investigated in Haiti for alleged misuse of business loans.
ICE’s Broader Efforts
In another case, ICE re-arrested Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez in Chicago, accused of hiding a decapitated body, underscoring ICE’s focus on immigration-related threats.
