ICE agents tracked down a Brazilian fugitive convicted of multiple counts of child rape on Martha’s Vineyard while a Jamaican national facing rape charges in Mashpee was also seized.

Saulo Cardoso Ferreira, 37, was arrested last week in West Tisbury and now faces deportation back to Bazil, Boston-based immigration officials announced.

He was wanted by authorities in his home country for failure to serve a prison sentence for raping a 5-year-old child, immigration officials said. It was not clear how he escaped imprisonment or how he made it to Massachusetts.

In the Mashpee rape case, 52-year-old Joshua Wright was out on bail when immigration agents with Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston arrested him Nov. 7. A law enforcement source said Wright overstayed his visitor’s visa by two years.

“ERO Boston will not allow such predators to threaten our residents. We will continue to apprehend and remove anyone who attempts to use our New England community as a refuge from justice,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd Lyons.
