Suspect in Paul Pelosi Beating Is in the U.S. Illegally, DHS Confirms
David DePape, 42, is being held in San Francisco County jail on attempted murder and multiple other felony charges
The man suspected of attacking 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.
"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 DHS spokesperson said in a statement to NBC Bay Area.
DePape, 42, is being held in San Francisco County jail on attempted murder and multiple other felony charges after he allegedly broke into the Pelosi home in Pacific Heights and brutally assaulted Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Court documents show he was looking for Nancy Pelosi and wanted to break her kneecaps.
DePape's last known residence was in Richmond.
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.
The San Francisco police chief gave details Friday on the early morning attack against the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., during which the suspect, 42-year-old David Depape, attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer in front of responding officers.
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 (INA), 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.
DePape has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to be back in court Friday.
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.
The last illegal alien democraps wanted to deport was Elian Gonzalez, and now this guy.
RE: He lives in a sanctuary city and state so nothing to see here. Move along folks......

Defense Lawyer (holding a document he is handing to the judge): “Your honor, my client hereby declares this to be a sanctuary courtroom. He cannot be arrested or removed to a jail or deported. And he is suing the Pelosis for mistreatment.”
Great post and thank you.
What are the odds after a quick Kangaroo court, that he will ride in a white van on a one way trip to a Canadian jail.
Thanks

I think perp will either Epstein or walk with no trial. They do not want the truth to see the light of day.
Grindr “date” gone wrong. Everyone with half a brain knows it.
I dunno, I think Grindr would be too high class...
I think the old ones are running like hell away from responsibility for what the far left wants.
/s Though I’m sure the Republicans will stop the left from going too far/s
