A Haitian migrant who entered the United States under the Biden administration’s migrant parole program has been charged with raping a 15-year-old girl at a hotel being used as a migrant shelter in Massachusetts.
26-year-old Cory Alvarez was arraigned on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to aggravated rape of a child.
The Haitian man flew to John F. Kennedy International Airport last June and was sponsored by someone in New Jersey as part of Biden’s parole program.
So, Biden’s program has allowed over one million migrants to flood the U.S from countries including:
Haiti
Cuba
Nicaragua
Venezuela
Ukraine
Afghanistan
Police responded to an incident on Wednesday evening at the Comfort Inn in Rockland, Massachusetts, which is being used as a migrant shelter.
The teenage girl told police she went to Alvarez’s room so he could help her with her tablet before he raped her.
“I asked him to leave me alone, but he didn’t stop,” the 15-year-old girl told authorities.
“Alvarez is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for March 22, according to Boston 25. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has also placed an immigration detainer on Alvarez,” The Daily Wire reported.

The Associated Press reported:
“Last week, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from more than 20 Republican-led states challenging the Biden administration’s migrant parole program. The states argued that the migrant program forced them to spend millions of dollars on health care, education, and public safety, but U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton said the states did not show they had suffered any financial harm because of the program”
Tipton clarified, however, that “In reaching this conclusion, the Court does not address the lawfulness of the Program.”
Meanwhile, Haiti is descending into chaos as dangerous gangs grapple for control of the country as many civilians flee for the U.S.
“We are clear-eyed that economic, political, and security instability are key drivers for migrants around the world. We are closely monitoring the situation and the routes frequently used by migrants to reach our borders, and at this time, irregular migration flows through the Caribbean remain low,” a National Security Council spokesperson told CNN.
Meanwhile, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has deployed extra security to the state’s southern tip in preparation for migrants from Haiti, Yahoo News reported.
“For quite some time, the State of Florida has been dedicating significant resources to combat illegal vessels coming to Florida from countries such as Haiti,” Mr DeSantis said in a statement.
“Given the circumstances in Haiti, I have directed the Division of Emergency Management, the Florida State Guard, and state law enforcement agencies to deploy over 250 additional officers and soldiers and over a dozen air and sea craft to the southern coast of Florida to protect our state.”
