Dem Congressman Hardest Hit After Newspaper Digs Into Illegal Immigrant He Brought to the SOTU
2026-03-06
[RedState] One of the many idiotic stunts Democrats pulled during the State of the Union address in late February was to proudly announce they were inviting illegal immigrants to President Trump's speech.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called out three of them on X shortly before the event started: Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), and Rep. Seth Moulton (MA-06).

Regarding Moulton's "guest," DHS wrote that "@RepMoulton plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva. Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and removal of aliens like him."

Gomes da Silva, who is 19, made it to the State of the Union...


...but Moulton ended up hiding him in his congressional office after seeing that tweet from DHS. Moulton posted this explanation on X at the time:



In an update to this story, the Boston Herald did some digging into Gomes da Silva, who, over the summer of 2025, became an activist and celebrity of sorts among Democrats, including Moulton and Gov. Maura Healey, after ICE detained him for several days when they were looking for his father (read the background on that story and why Gomes da Silva was released here).

The information the Herald found, while incomplete, is disturbing:

Congressman Seth Moulton’s illegal immigrant guest during the State of the Union address is referenced in police reports involving sexual assault and juveniles, police say.

The Herald submitted a public records request to the Secretary of State’s Office and the Milford Police Department regarding two reports, one from June and the other from September of 2021, where Marcelo Gomes da Silva was apparently named as the person of interest.

The Herald sought the police report numbered 21-23101 dated 9/15/2021 featuring Marcelo Gomes da Silva and 1-16254 dated 6/30/21 also featuring the 19-year-old.

Milford Deputy Chief John Sanchioni denied both of those requests, indicating that the police report from June 2021 "involves a sexual assault and juveniles," and that the report from September 2021 "involves juveniles." He did not elaborate.

"The Herald is appealing both the Milford Juvenile Court and the Milford Police’s denial of releasing Gomes da Silva’s background on the ground Moulton has turned the teen’s story into a public debate on ICE enforcement," the paper also noted.



As of this writing, Moulton has not publicly commented on the story, which is kind of interesting considering he repeatedly bragged about inviting Gomes da Silva to the SOTU and sharing his story.
