A Haitian migrant who came to the United States through President Biden’s controversial parole program has been accused of raping a 15-year-old disabled girl.
Cory Alvarez, 26, was arraigned Thursday in Rockland, Massachusetts after allegedly attacking the girl at a hotel-turned-migrant center the night before.
Rockland Police took the Haitian migrant into custody at the hotel where Alvarez had been staying, and the 15-year-old was transported to an area hospital.
The alleged child rapist arrived in the United States last June through the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole program, according to Fox News.
The program has been criticized as allowing up to 30,000 migrants to jump the border each month, with Alvarez believed to have flown into New York City directly from Haiti on a two-year parole.

Police were called to the Comfort Inn in Rockland, Massachusetts and arrested Alvarez at the scene. The hotel had been turned into a migrant center
Immigration officials have since filed a detainer for the 26-year-old with local authorities.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin added that the Haitian has a sponsor listed in New Jersey as part of his parole.
At his arraignment Thursday in Hingham District Court, Alvarez pleaded not guilty to the charge of aggravated rape of a child.
The CHNV program that brought him to the United States has come under fire since it was first opened in October 2022 to Venezuelans before being opened to other nations in subsequent months.
When it was announced, the program made it easier for a limited number of Venezuelans to get flights to the United States, as long as they had not previously entered illegally, passed certain checks and had a sponsor in the United States.
The program was then opened to Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans in January 2023, when the number of migrants allowed to enter was expanded to up to 30,000 per month.
Since it was expanded at the beginning of last year, over 138,000 Haitians have been brought to the United States through the program.

Alvarez’s arrest comes at a time of heightened concern about Haitian migrants flooding into the United States as they escape gang-led violence sweeping the nation. The leader of the gang violence, former police officer Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier, is seen in Port-au-Prince on Monday
Those who enter are also allowed to receive work permits and obtain a two-year permit to remain in the United States.
That has come under scrutiny from Republicans, with 20 GOP states recently filing a lawsuit against the Biden administration accusing it of abusing the parole process.
The lawsuit was dismissed in court.
However, the program was defended by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, which insisted that the CHNV program is a ‘safe and orderly way to reach the United States’.

On Monday, Prime Minister Ariel resigned amid threats from cannibal gangs that they would spark civil war if he did not step aside.
As a result of the chaos, thousands have fled their homes and locals continue to report the overwhelming stench of the dead.
