Irish nanny Aisling Brady McCarthy has been arrested by US immigration agents in Boston after being formally released from state custody.
Yesterday, prosecutors dropped a murder charge against the Co Cavan woman in relation to the death of a one-year-old girl who had been in her care.
In a statement this evening, a spokesperson from US Immigration and Custom Enforcement says Aisling Brady McCarthy arrived in the US on a tourist visa in 2002 and never left.
The 37-year-old was issued with a final order of removal from the US in 2013 and will now be deported imminently.
