Dos Santos was unlawfully present in the United States, having illegally crossed the southern border years ago near San Luis, Arizona — where he was apprehended and processed by border patrol agents, Boston 25 News reported.

By June of 2021, Dos Santos was released by federal immigration officials “on his own recognizance,” according to the outlet.

Around the same time of his release, officials from the Brazilian town of Mogi Das Cruzes labeled him as a wanted man for the aggravated murder of a child less than 14-years of age, but it was not until early October of this year that an ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations (ERO) field office in Boston got wind of the fact that the Brazilian authorities were seeking out Dos Santos, per the outlet.
