A home daycare in Cape Cod has shuttered its doors after local news revealed a fugitive illegal immigrant from Brazil, who was wanted for child rape in his home country, was living there.

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

“It’s absolutely disgusting and shameful, and it never should have happened, but it doesn’t shock me,” Massachusetts Republican State Rep. Steven George Xiarhos told Fox News Digital. “I was a police officer for 40 years right here on Cape Cod in the county of Yarmouth, so I’m familiar with background checks. I’m familiar with people who break the law. … This never should have happened. Someone like that, first of all, never should’ve been in the country, and then never should’ve been in Massachusetts, but he was, and how did that happen?”

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.
