ERO Boston removed a 23-year-old Brazilian fugitive from the United States who was wanted by authorities in his home country for attempted homicide. Deportation officers from ERO Boston removed Felipe Augusto De Oliveira from the United States to Brazil July 26 and turned him over to Brazilian authorities.
“Felipe Augusto De Oliveira attempted to use our Massachusetts communities to evade an attempted homicide charge in his home country,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “Now he has been returned to Brazil to face justice there. We cannot allow the world’s criminals to use our New England neighborhoods as hideouts from the law. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders.”
U.S. Border Patrol apprehended De Oliveira March 28, 2023, after he unlawfully entered the United States near Lukeville, Arizona. Border Patrol officials issued De Oliveira a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge and subsequently released him on an order of recognizance.
Brazilian authorities issued a warrant for De Oliveira’s arrest for the charge of attempted homicide.
Upon confirming De Oliveira’s presence in Massachusetts, deportation officers from ERO Boston arrested the Brazilian noncitizen May 2 in Lowell.
On July 1, the Department of Justice immigration judge ordered De Oliveira removed from the United States to Brazil.
Deportation officers from ERO Boston removed De Oliveira from the United States to Brazil July 26 and turned him over to Brazilian authorities. If convicted, De Oliveira faces up to 30 years in prison.
