ICE, seeking deportation, won’t release man indicted in Souza-Baranowski prison guard attack
WORCESTER Officials for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement are refusing to turn over a man Worcester authorities are trying to prosecute for his role in a January 2020 attack on prison guards at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, lawyers said in court Wednesday.
Lennon Dossantos, 26, is in ICE custody in New Hampshire, a prosecutor said, and the federal agency says it plans to deport him rather than turn him over to face charges.
Dossantos was indicted in Worcester Superior Court in February 2020 on six charges related to a Jan. 10, 2020 attack at the maximum-security prison on the Lancaster-Shirley line that left four guards hurt.
