The man who allegedly attacked Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home last week is in the United States illegally, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed Thursday.
The DHS official went on to say records show that DePape entered the U.S. on March 8, 2008, at San Ysidro Point of Entry as a temporary visitor, classified under the Immigration and Nationality Act as a B2.
The spokesperson added that admissible Canadian travelers who present themselves as a visitor for business or pleasure generally do not require a visa and are generally admitted for 6 months in the U.S. ICE places immigration detainers on individuals who have been arrested on criminal charges and who ICE has probable cause to believe are removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act , the spokesperson continued. The detainer requests the other law enforcement agency to notify ICE before a removable individual is released from custody so that ICE can take custody of that person in a safe and secure setting.
