De Leon-Barrios was charged with assault and battery on a family member and an assault and battery on a child with injury. The arrest took place in Revere, Massachusetts, on January 27.
"Cosme De Leon-Barrios is charged with brutally assaulting a child with an injury in our Massachusetts community," stated ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. "He represents a significant threat to the residents of New England that ICE Boston will not tolerate. We stand committed to our mission of prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing illegal alien threats to our neighbors."
