U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested Wilber Chinic-Villagran, a 27-year-old Guatemalan national, in Framingham, Massachusetts, on January 26th. Chinic-Villagran has multiple convictions for domestic violence offenses.
“Wilber Chinic-Villagran illegally came to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and committed some horrendous crimes,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “We simply will not tolerate such a threat to the residents of our Massachusetts communities. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious alien offenders from New England.”

Chinic-Villagran was first encountered by U.S. Border Patrol in July 2020 after illegally entering the United States near Laredo, Texas. He was voluntarily returned to Mexico but later illegally re-entered the U.S. at an unknown time and location.
In 2023 and 2024, ICE lodged immigration detainers against Chinic-Villagran with the Middlesex County House of Corrections following his arrests by local authorities.

He is currently in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
