Darwin Andres Gordon-Ruiz, 20, a Pittsfield High School 2025 graduate originally from Colombia, was arrested by ICE on Tuesday outside a Burger King parking lot, the same morning he was scheduled to appear at Berkshire County Superior Court. Witnesses described the arrest as violent and chaotic. He is currently being held at Plymouth County Correctional Facility and filed a habeas corpus petition. Gordon-Ruiz faces charges including two counts of rape and one count of providing alcohol to a minor, to which he pleaded not guilty after his November arrest; his bail was set at $20,000.
