An illegal immigrant charged with raping a minor in Massachusetts has been rearrested by deportation officers after being released on bail by a local district court earlier this year.

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston said that its officers arrested the 20-year-old Brazilian national, who was not named by immigration officials, near his residence in Lowell on March 28.
