  An Irish national working as a nanny in Massachusetts will be turned over to immigration officials after answering to assault and battery charges in the death of a child in her care, MyFoxBoston.com reports.
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly have lodged a detainer against Aisling McCarthy Brady. They say she will be turned over to ICE for removal proceedings after the assault and battery charges are adjudicated.
• ICE officials say Brady, 34, was legally admitted to the U.S. under the Visa Waive Program in 2002 as a tourist for 90 days. They say she did not depart as required.
• Brady was placed on $500,000 bail in court Tuesday morning.
  The Quincy resident is charged with assault and battery on a child causing substantial bodily injury, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
• "This is an extremely troubling case, where we allege the defendant violently assaulted a one-year-old child, causing a devastating head injury and broken bones," said Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone.
• When police arrived at the home on Jan. 14, the child was breathing, but unconscious. She was taken to Children's Hospital in Boston where she was found to be suffering from subdural and retinal hemorrhaging and cerebral swelling.
• The child also had multiple healing bone fractures and injuries consistent with being thrown. The injuries were so severe that doctors said the child wouldn't be able to eat or drink by herself, MyFoxBoston.com reports.
• On Jan. 16, the child was pronounced brain dead and subsequently died.
• In court Tuesday, Brady's attorney said she had been a nanny for 13 years and had no other incidents. They said that the child was very sick when she returned from trips to England, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia with her parents, without the nanny before the Jan. 14 incident.
• Brady's attorney said that Brady found the baby slumped over the day police were called and put her in her crib. A few hours later she found the baby seizing.
• Following an investigation, it was determined that Brady had sole custody of and contact with the child during the time that she sustained injuries consistent with abusive head trauma.
• In addition to the $500,000 bail, Brady was given a GPS tracking bracelet and was ordered to have no contact with the family or work with kids.
• Further charges are anticipated following the conclusions of the medical examiner.

Same sad song of the Obama administration deporting illegal aliens AFTER they kill or rape an American instead of before.

Another innocent child gone due to the non enforcement of America's existing immigration and border laws.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A nanny charged with injuring a 1-year-old Massachusetts girl who later died has been in the country illegally for about a decade after arriving from Ireland as a tourist, immigration officials said Tuesday.

Aisling McCarthy Brady was ordered held on $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty to a charge of assault and battery on a child causing injury. But authorities said she could be charged with murder after an autopsy is complete on Rehma Sabir, the Cambridge baby hospitalized with head injuries on Jan. 14 – her first birthday.

Prosecutors allege Brady was the only person with the child when she sustained her injuries. She died two days after being hospitalized with what authorities called head injuries and healing bone fractures.

During Tuesday's court appearance, Brady's attorney denied her client injured the child, saying Rehma had recently traveled overseas – including trips to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and London – and was found to be malnourished after coming back to the U.S.

Immigration officials said Brady, of Quincy, had been living in the U.S. illegally since 2002, when she arrived from Ireland under the Visa Waiver Program. She was only authorized to stay 90 days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.

ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said Brady will be turned over to immigration authorities after the local case is adjudicated.

On Tuesday, two deliveries of white flowers waited for the victim's parents in the lobby of their brick building close to the Charles River in Cambridge. A man who answered the phone at a listing for the victim's family asked for privacy.

Prosecutors said Brady had civil restraining orders filed against her in the past.

Court records showed orders from Dorchester District Court in 2005 and 2012, the first stemming from an alleged bar altercation and the second relating to allegations that Brady posted false claims online saying another woman abused children.

Records also showed a 2007 assault and battery case against Brady was dropped.

No one answered the door at Brady's residence Tuesday, but a Quincy nonprofit official remembered the woman as a former volunteer.

Interfaith Social Services Executive Director Rick Doane spoke of the defendant as a pleasant person who helped stock shelves and hand out food in the past, but not for about two years.
