Daycare in wealthy enclave shutters after housing fugitive child predator arrested by ICE: report

A Cape Cod home daycare has closed following reports that a fugitive undocumented immigrant from Brazil, who was wanted for child rape in his home country, was discovered living there.

Andre Tiago Lucas, sought for the rape of a 13-year-old in Brazil, was apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE ERO) Boston in Bourne in October last year.

“It’s completely disgraceful and appalling, and it should never have occurred, but it’s not surprising,” commented Massachusetts Republican State Rep. Steven George Xiarhos to Fox News Digital. “Having been a police officer for 40 years on Cape Cod in Yarmouth County, I am well-versed in background checks and familiar with individuals who break the law. This should never have happened. Someone with that kind of history should never have been allowed in the country, let alone in Massachusetts, but somehow it occurred, and how is that possible?”

A Brazilian court convicted Tiago Lucas of rape of a vulnerable person in 2016 and sentenced him to serve nine years and four months incarceration, according to ICE. He then fled Brazil and made his way to Massachusetts. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Healey’s office for comment.

“When I’m Governor, this ends,” Kennealy said. “There will be no more sanctuary protections for fugitives. No more blind eye to public safety. I will restore common sense to Beacon Hill and make it clear: if you’re here illegally and have committed a violent crime, you will not find refuge in Massachusetts. I will expand background checks, enforce the law, protect our children, and put the safety of our communities first—no exceptions.”

It is unclear if Nunes will be facing charges in connection with Tiago Lucas’ fugitive status. Fox News Digital has reached out to Branstable police.
