News anchor turned California Democrat busted in ICE operation
NY Post ^ | 09/22/2026 | Zain Khan

A California Democrat’s staffer has been arrested by federal immigration authorities in Las Vegas, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Former KTSF news anchor Ho-Yin Mo, who now works for California Assemblywoman Catherine Stefani, was taken into custody Thursday at Harry Reid International Airport, the DailyMail reported.

“On January 13, 2020, Mo lawfully entered the U.S. on a temporary basis but illegally overstayed his welcome by failing to depart by May 15, 2020,” DHS told the Post. “Work authorization or a pending application do NOT confer legal status in the United States.”

Stefani’s office did not return the Post’s request for comment.

She represents California’s 19th Assembly District, which covers western San Francisco and northern San Mateo County, and has served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2018 to 2024.

Mo joined her office in 2025 and formerly worked at a Chinese-language television station based in San Francisco.

He was also involved in London Breed’s unsuccessful 2024 mayoral reelection campaign, where he worked as an outreach organizer focused on Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.

“When we learned that Mo was available, we immediately saw an opportunity to bring him on board,” Breed spokesperson Joe Arellano said when Mo was hired. “His visibility through KTSF connects with a broad audience, and his professional background and experience made him a strong fit.”
