3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 31

Summary

  • ICE said it arrested Roberts Nemiro in San Francisco on Tuesday after USCIS flagged the former Latvian “Dancing with the Stars” contestant for removal proceedings.
  • DHS said Nemiro entered the U.S. on a visa in October 2011, overstayed after it expired in August 2012, and now faces deportation.
  • His record includes a conviction for aggravated assault with a gun and disorderly conduct, while arrests listed by DHS include battery, sexual battery and drug-related charges.
  • The agency cast the case as part of the Trump administration’s push to spotlight arrests of noncitizens accused or convicted of violent crimes, while attacking California’s sanctuary policies.
