Jomar Henrique Souza-Santos, a 33-year-old Brazilian national and fugitive convicted of homicide, has been apprehended in Marlboro, Massachusetts, after evading justice in his home country. Arrested on March 20 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Souza-Santos was previously convicted of homicide and illegal firearm possession in Brazil and failed to serve his sentence following those convictions.
ICE officials revealed that Souza-Santos’s arrest was the result of cross-agency collaboration, emphasizing the potential danger he posed to residents in New England.

This case highlights ongoing concerns related to illegal immigration and public safety.
