A Haitian who was allowed to fly to the United States through a heavily scrutinized federal program and released has been arrested in Massachusetts on charges of molesting a minor.
Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin The first report was that 18-year-old Akeem Mark Desire was arrested by police in Mansfield for the crime. Dzire flew to Miami on June 4, 2023 through the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan parole program, which allows individuals of those nationalities to avoid crossing the southern border illegally by having a sponsor in the United States.
The victim allegedly assaulted by Desire is a 10-year-old boy who lived near him. Desire is now in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
‘Instead of canceling a clearly flawed program, the department is allowing it to continue.’
Melugin noted that this is the second time in recent months that a Haitian granted entry to the U.S. under the CHNV program has been charged in Massachusetts with a sexual offense against a child.
Since the CHNV program began in early 2023, about 500,000 people have bypassed the southern border and flown directly to the U.S. After the program was temporarily suspended in August. group Fraud was discovered by applicants and sponsors.
Examples of fraud included social security numbers, addresses and phone numbers reused hundreds of times, with 3,218 serial sponsors filling out 100,948 forms. The phone numbers of the dead were also used.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services recently announced a relaunch of the process with new security measures to prevent fraud.
“It should come as no surprise that the Biden-Harris administration has rushed to restart its illegal CHNV mass-parole scheme, despite clear evidence of fraud in the program. The CHNV program, along with the use of CBP ONE enforcement on the Southwest border, has helped the president and his border czar play a giant shell game, encouraging otherwise-inadmissible aliens to pass through ports of entry instead of between them. said House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.). statement.
“Instead of canceling a clearly flawed program, the Department is allowing it to continue without rooting out fraud or putting in place adequate safeguards to prevent exploitation by sponsors here in the United States. But basically, if DHS just stopped importing 30,000 inadmissible aliens a month in the first place there would be no fraud to stop it,” he added.
