Massachusetts court records or ICE/DHS arrest records confirm that Rafael Agustin Soto-Baez was arrested and holds convictions consistent with the eight counts of possession with intent to distribute Class A drugs and distributing/dispensing fentanyl.
DHS/ICE published a January 26, 2026 DHS news post listing “Rafael Agustin Soto-Baez” as arrested and described as “convicted for EIGHT counts of possession to distribution Class A drugs and distributing or dispensing Class A fentanyl in Massachusetts.” I could not find independent primary court records, state convictions, or DOJ/ICE arrest press releases or local media reports that confirm those specific conviction details for a person with that full name; other related cases involve persons named Soto Baez (e.g., Juan Ramon Soto Baez) tied to fentanyl trafficking but not matching the given full name and eight-count description. Because the DHS item is the only direct source found and matching public court or prosecutorial records are not located, the claim is currently unclear and should be rechecked when court or prosecutorial records (state docket, charging documents, or ICE/US Attorney press releases) become available.
