Brazilian Man Detained by ICE in Taunton, Massachusetts
Aug 6, 2026·Location: Taunton, MA
Country of origin: Brazil

ICE arrested Heriton Da Silva Aredes, a Brazilian national previously deported in 2008 who later reentered the U.S., during a targeted operation in Taunton, Massachusetts. He faces a pending charge of negligent homicide with a motor vehicle after a November 20, 2025 crash in which his car struck 75-year-old Kenneth Carr of Taunton, a former Fall River fisherman, who died two days later from his injuries. ICE said local and state authorities released Aredes from custody on three prior occasions without honoring ICE detainers before he was ultimately arrested at large.
