The agency also released a photo showing Stamatin in custody, flanked by federal officers.
ICE has been increasingly public about arrests tied to high-profile allegations — and in Massachusetts, those posts regularly ignite a broader political fight over immigration enforcement and local cooperation, especially when cases involve accusations of violence or crimes against children.
ICE Boston has not released additional information about Stamatin’s immigration status, whether he has prior convictions, or what the next steps are in his case.
