U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in collaboration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), has arrested a Haitian national in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The individual, Queenssy Bryan Lindor, 21, faces multiple charges including two counts of rape, indecent assault and battery on a person aged 14 or older, possession of child pornography, witness intimidation, and violation of a harassment prevention order.

Patricia H. Hyde, acting Field Office Director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston stated: “Queenssy Bryan Lindor stands accused of some unspeakable crimes when combined with his convictions prove that he represents a substantial threat to the residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.” She emphasized that "ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing illegal alien offenders from our neighborhoods."

Lindor was initially apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol after entering the United States illegally near Del Rio, Texas on November 21, 2019. He was subsequently released on an Order of Recognizance by ICE ERO San Antonio on November 27, 2019.

In February 2023, Lindor was arraigned by Barnstable District Court for assault and battery. An immigration detainer was lodged against him by ICE later that day with the Yarmouth Police Department. Despite this detainer, Lindor was released on bail with GPS monitoring conditions.

The Barnstable District Court convicted Lindor for assault and battery in September 2023 sentencing him to 30 days in prison. In November 2023, he was indicted for additional charges including two counts of rape among others.

In September 2024, Lindor was convicted again for violating a harassment prevention order which resulted in probation.

Lindor's recent arrest occurred on February 5 as part of a coordinated effort between officers from ICE ERO Boston alongside agents from ICE Homeland Security Investigations New England and ATF Boston.
