‘Coincidental or cruel': Attorney questions timing after ICE transfers Providence woman days before immigration hearing
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A Providence woman who has been in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for nearly four months was transferred to a facility more than 2,000 miles away, just days before a scheduled immigration hearing. Vivian Gisselle Soriano-Neto, 18, was reportedly arrested by Providence police in February on charges of trafficking a minor and two counts of indecent solicitation of a child. In a press release, ICE Boston said its agents, along with agents from DEA New England and ATF Boston, detained Soriano on March 11, saying she 'apparently trafficked a child for nefarious reasons.' However, Soriano's criminal defense attorney, John MacDonald, emphasized that Soriano 'absolutely denies' the charges and said she is not a human trafficker. She had been held in Maine until last week, when she was abruptly moved to the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado. According to MacDonald, the transfer happened just 72 hours before a June 4 court hearing where a judge was set to hear the merits of her asylum case, including whether she feared persecution if returned to her home country. 'It is no coincidence to me that when the Boston Globe story hit on May 30, ICE shipped her completely out of New England, where she was going to have her hearing — shipped her to Denver,' MacDonald said. MacDonald claims Soriano's transfer to Colorado was retaliation for a story in The Boston Globe, which included details stemming from her February arrest. In that article, he told the reporter that when ICE detains individuals out of state, it becomes nearly impossible to contest evidence in criminal cases. Now that Soriano is in Colorado, MacDonald said, the charges and warrants will linger, making it virtually impossible for her to legally reenter the United States. According to a police incident report obtained by 12 News, on Jan. 14, the parents of a minor told Providence police that four men had sexually assaulted their daughter, who they had reported as missing from Jan. 8 to Jan. 11. The victim told police that on Jan. 8, one of her friends, whom she identified as Soriano, invited her to meet somewhere in Providence for a party. The report stated that the victim left Mount Pleasant High School and met Soriano on Atwells Avenue. From there, they drove to Concannon Street. At the time, Soriano was a senior at Mount Pleasant High School. The district told 12 News on Tuesday she is no longer enrolled. The police report said Soriano and the victim walked into a house, where the victim was approached by three men. Soriano allegedly told her to 'make sure she gives them food and make sure she gets money' from them. The victim told police she received $100 and later gave it to Soriano, according to the report. Soriano then reportedly left, leaving the victim alone. While the report does not detail what occurred next, it states that around 2 p.m., four different Hispanic men 'came into the house and began to [redacted].' Police said the victim was able to defend herself and run away. As she fled, someone she knew noticed and helped her. That person reportedly brought her to a friend's house, where she stayed for three days until they brought her home on Jan. 11. The report notes that '[the victim]'s statement was vague and inconsistent.' According to MacDonald, Soriano told Providence police exactly what happened in a voluntary interview following her Feb. 20 arrest. 'So the police do have her side of the story. They have the other witnesses,' MacDonald said. 'But unfortunately, what has happened in the interim is that ICE got involved and has begun removal proceedings against her.' After entering ICE custody, Soriano hired immigration attorney Cindy Salazar Tohme, who has been working to prepare her asylum case. Now, Salazar is 'scrambling' to represent Soriano in Colorado, according to MacDonald. 'The ability now to bring witnesses forward — it's one thing to bring them to Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where the immigration hearing would have taken place,' MacDonald explained. 'It's quite another to bring witnesses to Denver.' In a May 27 press release, ICE described Soriano as an 'illegally present Honduran alien' who entered the country at the Calexico, California, border. ICE said she was previously arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Oct. 25, 2017, and transferred into ICE custody. She was issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge and subsequently released Nov. 17, 2017, on parole. MacDonald confirmed to 12 News that Soriano arrived in the U.S. as a minor in 2017 and currently has a pending asylum claim. 'She actually was approved for a special immigrant juvenile visa based upon the fact that she was abandoned by her father,' MacDonald said. 'That visa has a priority date of 2023. So she was literally two years away from getting legal status in the United States when these events took place.' (The special immigrant juvenile visa falls under category EB-4, which in June became available for those with a priority date earlier than Feb. 1, 2021.) Although he is not involved in Soriano's immigration case, MacDonald said he was 'extremely disappointed' that she now has to start over. 'It is incredibly coincidental … or cruel that she was shipped days before her asylum hearing was scheduled to take place here,' he said. At this point, MacDonald said, ICE has the positionality to screen any potential criminal defendant to investigate their lawful status. 'If she were a permanent resident, we wouldn't be having this conversation,' he said. 'Permanent residents are cloaked with certain presumptions, but she is here unlawfully, even though she entered as a minor.' 'She has gone through legal means to get lawful status, but unfortunately, she is still subject to detention and removal,' he added. In the meantime, MacDonald said his message to Soriano is to 'hang in there' and continue working with Salazar. 'Under the circumstances, she is doing okay. She is a bright, courageous young woman,' he said, adding that Soriano is hopeful she can return to Rhode Island and defend herself. 12 News reached out to ICE for comment on the case, but has not yet received a response.

Maxwell Anderson found guilty on all counts in murder of Sade Robinson. What to know about verdict
(This story was updated to add more information.) A Milwaukee County jury on June 6 convicted 34-year-old Maxwell Anderson of killing and mutilating 19-year-old Sade Robinson last April. Jurors listened to eight days of witness testimony and delivered the verdict after less than an hour of deliberation. Here's what to know: Yes, jurors found Anderson guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. Jurors took about 45 minutes total to deliberate and find Anderson guilty of all charges. They deliberated for about 15 minutes starting at 4:40 p.m. on June 5, and for about 30 minutes between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. June 6. Anderson remained largely still as the verdicts were read out, appearing to swallow and blink a few times. Scarbrough spoke to the media after the verdict, saying of her daughter: "She will be forever remembered as an angel. She is a hero." Scarbrough later urged support for missing Black and Brown women, and advocated for the creation of a state taskforce. More: Wisconsin lawmakers tried to create a task force for missing and murdered Black women. Will this year be different? Swanigan said the Robinson family will continue to pursue its civil case against Anderson. She added that Robinson's family hopes to force Anderson to participate in a deposition, so outstanding questions about her death might be answered. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Anderson in June 2024, and sued the two bars Robinson attended with Anderson on the night of her death in April 2025. Later, the attorney chastised some media outlets' decision to publish graphic images during the proceedings. Vance-Curzan said the state was 'feeling confident' throughout the trial, going on to say authorities spent "countless hours" investigating. 'When a case is investigated the way this one was investigated, the evidence just spoke for itself,' he said. The prosecutor also said he was thinking of Robinson's family. 'While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson,' he said. 'This is a tragedy, and I'm just hopeful this verdict will be a step towards healing.' Cotton told WISN-12 News he wasn't surprised by the jury's quick deliberation. 'We respect the jury's verdict,' Cotton said. 'We understand they had a very difficult job to do. They obviously thought about it overnight.' He also said there was a "sense of relief" with the end of the trial. Cotton reportedly received personal threats. 'My heart goes out to Sade's family,' he added. 'I can't imagine what they're going through." Anderson will be sentenced at 10 a.m. Aug. 15. A conviction for first-degree intentional homicide carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment in Wisconsin. It's possible that Anderson could serve part of the sentence in prison and then be eligible for extended supervision, but it will be decided by a judge. No, Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty.
