When New York wildlife officers euthanized a couple’s pet squirrel, Peanut, two years ago, Republicans including JD Vance seized on the critter’s killing as just another example of government overreach from meddling Democrats.
“The same government that doesn’t care about hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant criminals coming into our country doesn’t want us to have pets. It’s the craziest, the craziest thing,” Vance said at a rally just before the 2024 election.
Now, the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump has put one of the late squirrel’s owners in an immigration jail, pending possible deportation to Germany.
Daniela Bittner was arrested by immigration officers in mid-October at a small airport near New York’s border with Pennsylvania. DHS issued a statement saying Bittner was arrested because she “chose to overstay her welcome in defiance of our nation’s laws.”
Since then, Bittner has been moved through multiple immigration lockups and is now housed in Texas, according to her husband, Mark Longo, who called conditions in the lockups “deplorable.” He blamed her detention on an immigration paperwork mix-up.
“They put Peanut on a pedestal, won their election, and threw him off that pedestal immediately,” Longo said.
The arrest was the latest twist in the tale of Peanut, also known as P’nut, a once-orphaned squirrel whose fun antics made him a social media star. That is, until state officials got multiple complaints that the couple were illegally keeping wild animals in their house as pets, including the squirrel and a racoon.
During one inspection, Peanut bit the gloved thumb of a wildlife biologist and was euthanized so the squirrel could be tested for rabies.

“You know, arrest the people who deserve to be arrested. My wife is not one of them,” he said.
“You’re telling me, all of this because my wife and I forgot to do the proper form?” he added.
“Why does my wife have to obey the law? It’s unfair.”
What makes otherwise attractive women mar themselves with body covering tattoos?
Our immigration system really is broken. Why does it take years & multiple forms & $$$$ to allow someone’s spouse to come in? All the while providing welfare to those coming in illegally? It makes no sense.
There should be a pretty straightforward background check, with assurances that this person will not become a ward of the state. Anything more is bureaucratic BS.
Daniela Bittner, 30, a heavily tattooed social media model who also posted on OnlyFans, was taken into custody at an airport last month after entering the US legally several years ago, according to DHS.
“What makes otherwise attractive women mar themselves with body covering tattoos?”
Or have raccoons and squirrels as house pets?!?!?
Self loathing.
Like sticking your Johnson in a comic book
I don’t get it either

It is also very expensive.
There are also numerous scam artists who take advantage of the systems complexity, by charging exhorbitant prices claiming to provide services to help people to get through the complex system.
These scammers often claim they have “fixed” things while not doing the proper things needing to be done, thus leaving the victims believing they are legal when they are not.
These things were revealed to me by a very close friend who did a lot of work in Homeland Security all through his career. He was a Marine for about 10 years, (Counter Intell) then Border Patrol, Customs, and also did a fair amount of investigative work on Immigration.
He retired a few years ago and has since died.
Wondered where she was from so I looked and found....

Ballpoint pen inked tattoos all over her smooth and lovely neck!
Warum tust du dir das an?
(why do that to yourself?)
People DO judge the book by the cover, fair or not.
Stupidity and vanity.
If you have neck tattoos……you never have to wonder why you didn’t get the job.
I thought we didn’t have a deal with squirrels. Just the pigeons.
deport the b
Didn’t miss filling out the tattoo forms.
Typical dummocrat technique....she is somewhat related to the mistreatment of Peanut and therefore should be absolved of all other violations of law. The dummocrats are disgustingly dishonest.
