Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt criticized Massachusetts officials on Monday after reports surfaced that they had released convicted child rapists instead of honoring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests.
Earhardt warned that such actions would be “punished by God.”
Her comments came after the House Oversight Committee announced investigations in January into the sanctuary city policies of Boston, Denver, Chicago, and New York City.

Additionally, Attorney General Pam Bondi has initiated lawsuits against Illinois and New York over their sanctuary policies.
During the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, Border Czar Tom Homan addressed the issue, specifically calling out Boston for its refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

“I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me,” Homan said. “Nine child rapists in jail in Massachusetts were, rather than honoring ICE detainers, released them back into the street. You’re not a police commissioner, take that badge off your chest, put it in the desk drawer, because you became a politician, you forgot what it was like to be a cop.”

Earhardt reacted strongly to Homan’s remarks, calling the decision to release convicted child rapists “evil.”
“Message to Susan and to all the people who live in Boston that support these sanctuary cities’ ridiculous rules, these are child rapists. That’s the worst, that is evil,” Earhardt said.
“You will be punished by God one day because of that. That is evil, it is so wrong, and to defend them and let them out early so they can be back on the streets and do it again, they ruined lives, those lives will never be the same. Those are heinous, evil crimes. So, I don’t understand how a city council person can defend or this police officer, the commissioner, can defend these criminals.”
ICE has had to apprehend multiple sex offenders who were released by Massachusetts authorities despite the agency’s requests for them to be detained and deported.
In June 2024, ICE agents arrested a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala in Bristol County. He had been released on bail despite being charged with raping a child.
In April 2024, ICE also took an illegal immigrant from the Cape Verde Islands into custody.
The individual had a history of repeated public lewdness convictions but was not detained for deportation by Massachusetts authorities.
Illegal immigration, a major focus of President Donald Trump’s policies, returned as a top issue during the 2024 election.
The border crisis under the Biden administration, coupled with a series of high-profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants, contributed to renewed concerns over enforcement failures.
One of the most widely covered cases involved 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.
Authorities in Oklahoma arrested him on June 14 for the August 2023 murder of 37-year-old Rachel Morin in Maryland.
In Houston, authorities arrested two men on June 20 and charged them with capital murder in the rape and killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.
In another case that reignited national outrage, 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was murdered in February 2024.
University of Georgia police arrested and charged Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra, who had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, in connection with her death.
With the House Oversight Committee launching multiple probes and Attorney General Pam Bondi filing lawsuits, sanctuary city policies are once again under national scrutiny.
As states and cities continue to defy federal immigration laws, critics argue that the consequences of these policies have become too severe to ignore.
