Immigration officials say Pelosi attacker was in US illegally

Washington (CNN) -- David DePape, the man accused of violently attacking Paul Pelosi last week, was in the United States illegally and may face deportation, the Department of Homeland Security said late Wednesday. "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an immigration detainer on Canadian national David DePape with San Francisco County Jail, Nov. 1, following his Oct. 28 arrest," the department said.

ICE issues so-called immigration "detainers" to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to inform them that the agency intends to take custody of an individual and requests that ICE be notified before that individual is released. The detainer is unlikely to affect DePape's case since deportations often happen after criminal cases are resolved. But after conviction and prison sentence, the US normally would seek deportation.

According to federal records, DePape, a Canadian citizen, entered the country in early March at the San Ysidro port of entry, which is along the California-Mexico border, as a temporary visitor. Generally, Canadians who are visiting for business or pleasure don't require a visa and are allowed to stay in the US for six months.

DePape, 42, has been charged with a litany of crimes, including assault, attempted murder and attempted kidnapping, following last week's break-in at Pelosi's San Francisco home, the US attorney's office and San Francisco district attorney announced on Monday.

1. That's gonna be a real brain splitter for Magaloons. Do they praise him for the attempted murder?

Or revile him as an illegal immigrant?

[doc03]

5. Oh they can do both nt

[IronLionZion]

6. They'll praise him for the violence and revile Dems for allowing an illegal immigrant

[Evolve Dammit]

11. I think you nailed it

[iluvtennis]

22. +1.

[FlyingPiggy]

44. They'll praise him bc their illegal immigration schtick is about BROWN people

Not white. It’s not about illegal immigration. It’s about racism hiding behind illegal immigration.

[ShazzieB]

45. This!

He's white, not brown, and he's Canadian, not Hispanic. He isn't going to trigger their racist radar at all.

[Bengus81]

2. Guess we better build that wall up north eh??

How ironic,a hate filled Trump humping,Qassanon posting racist and ILLEGAL to boot.

[jimfields33]

9. He came through the Mexican border. No need for border wall in Canada.

[Historic NY]

3. So for 20yrs they let this happen

So he was a back and forth, turnstile Canadian If they can tell us that now why did they not bar him re-entry knowing this has been going on for 20yrs.

[IronLionZion]

4. Why would a Canadian feel so violently about American politics?

And of course everyone assumed he was American since he's white.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. One might remember this over the winter

with the "Freedom Convoys" at border crossings between the U.S. and multiple Canadian provinces, and then the later copy-cat attempts here in the U.S. where MAGats attempted to mindlessly drive in circles while stuck in traffic on the Washington Beltway.

[IronLionZion]

13. They didn't accomplish much on the American side

wasting fuel to protest mandates that already ended.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Yup

and dirtying up the Speedway grounds in Hagerstown, MD.

[cyclonefence]

7. Well, then (says the RW) he deserved it

because it was Nancy's fault for letting the murderers and rapists in through our "porous" borders.

[LisaL]

10. He entered as a visitor.

He stayed longer than allowed six months.

[intheflow]

12. This is the first verifiably dangerous "illegal immigrant" to

cross the Mexican border, and - surprise, surprise! - it turns out the reason he's a danger is that he's MAGA without even the right to vote in this country.

[IronLionZion]

14. "Build the wall!" didn't stop Canadians coming here visa free as visitors

Maybe there's a MAGA reason he came in through Mexico. hmmm....

[intheflow]

16. I'm just saying,

they're all up in arms about brown people crossing the Mexican border, but white guys from Canada crossing the Mexican border? Not so much. Meanwhile, white dude is the danger.

[SouthBayDem]

25. And he overstayed his authorization to visit

According to federal records, DePape, a Canadian citizen, entered the country in early March at the San Ysidro port of entry, which is along the California-Mexico border, as a temporary visitor. Generally, Canadians who are visiting for business or pleasure don’t require a visa and are allowed to stay in the US for six months.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Too much focus on the brown undocumented immigrants.

[mitch96]

18. So how does this work? Prosecute, convict and incarcerate then deport? nt

[LeftInTX]

21. Yes. 99% of mmigration violations fall somewhere between

a traffic violation and misdemeanor. Deportation is not considered a punishment.

[mitch96]

33. Tnx...nt

[JI7]

19. Some political movements are Globalized these days

Some examples are how White racists in the US get angry over things that happen with race issues in South Africa and how they think blacks are taking white people's farms and things there. Of course they will ignore the history of these places.

Also the migration issues in Europe. In the UK the immigration issue is huge.

And we have the internet and social media these days so these people can connect with each other.

I was watching some youtube travel channels and a couple assholes from Europe would attack Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.

They hate Justin Trudeau also . Justin Trudeau seems to be the most hated male .

Their is this whole online culture of the Jordan petersons and tucker carlsons and others where they all listen to each other.

[CCExile]

20. Well geeze, the cost of the wall

just quadrupled! The only reasonable thing to do is send more money to con-men, um, I mean Republicans!

[niyad]

23. But first reports said he was a hemp jewelry maker out of Berkely, did they not?

[keithbvadu2]

24. Didn't he also control one of MTG's Jewish space lasers?

[The Mouth]

26. "May face deportation"?

What the hell?

A- they should never get out of jail, period.

B- *anyone* in the country illegally who commits *any* crime should be yeeted across the border the nanosecond they have served their sentence, period, no exemptions, exclusions or conditions.

[IronLionZion]

27. Yeeted

[LeftInTX]

37. "May" is media speak for legalize. (It means the deportation has not had due process yet)

Deportation is guaranteed after sentences are served.

[Sogo]

28. Will someone who knows the law, please explain this?

"ICE issues so-called immigration "detainers" to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to inform them that the agency intends to take custody of an individual and requests that ICE be notified before that individual is released. The detainer is unlikely to affect DePape's case since deportations often happen after criminal cases are resolved. But after conviction and prison sentence, the US normally would seek deportation."


It sounds like they will deport him and he won't face any punishment....?

Or, deported in his case "after prison sentence" would mean never, because he could get life?

[BumRushDaShow]

29. I think the operative answer was in your post

The detainer is unlikely to affect DePape's case since deportations often happen after criminal cases are resolved.

In this situation, there are 2 sets of "criminal cases" in play - one for federal charges and one for state charges. So it will be awhile before either are "resolved" and the issue of deportation happens.

I expect what ICE might be doing is notifying counterparts in Canada as a heads-up for diplomatic/MOU purposes, regarding one of their citizens being in custody.

If by some bizarre set of circumstances, this individual is acquitted of all charges, both state and federal, then they would most likely start the deportation process.

It's all an administrative thing in any case.

[MichMan]

42. Don't sanctuary cities generally refuse to accept ICE detainers anyway?

[Kali]

31. prison rape isn't funny

enjoy your stay

[dalton99a]

32. Canada doesn't always send us their best

[area51]

41. As a Texan, I'd love to see Rafael Cruz go back to Canada.

Curiously, the leader of the "Proud Boys" is Canadian.

[Celerity]

43. A Scot, born in England, emigrated to Canada as a child, and has lived in the US for 21 years

[TrueDemocracy]

34. Not at all Encouraging

The timing of this Factoid is awful. Unfortunately, I fear that this fact will make Americans see our party as irresponsible for allowing poor illegal aliens or poor migrants to stay in the US.. I hope this does not hurt us. We need to show up and Vote. But unfortunately, this article does not motivate the Democratic Vote.

Best not to pass along this link. I think now a days with Ratings needed, CNN is trying to be less polarizing. They are becoming more mainstream. Unfortunately, this article looks a little Fox Like. Its depressing that our friends at CNN have to post something like this at this moment when voting has already started. Ugh!

[BumRushDaShow]

35. Have no idea what gobbledy gook you are talking about

[SheltieLover]

36. +1,000!

[Hekate]

38. What?

[mcar]

39. You seem concerned

[llashram]

40. CNN

is becoming Fox light...
