Overview
- Milford’s deputy police chief denied requests for two 2021 reports that allegedly reference Marcelo Gomes da Silva, saying one involves sexual assault and juveniles and the other involves juveniles under Massachusetts public-records exemptions.
- The Boston Herald says it is appealing the Milford Police and Juvenile Court denials after seeking report 21-23101 from Sept. 15, 2021, and report 21-16254 from June 30, 2021.
- Gomes da Silva has denied any assault and says he learned of the reports through the media, while Moulton’s office says its review shows he has never been charged with a crime.
- ICE detained Gomes da Silva in May 2025 over a lapsed student visa and an immigration judge later granted him a $2,000 bond, with Moulton and Gomes alleging mistreatment that ICE Boston disputes.
- DHS publicly criticized Moulton’s decision to invite Gomes da Silva to the Feb. 24 address, naming him on X, after which Moulton escorted him from the gallery and allowed him to shelter in his office.
