Sometimes, you can get a little too “Elbows Up.”
Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, the Canadian mega-wokie who attacked an American teen girl decked out in pro-Trump gear on July 3 on a New Jersey boardwalk, will be deported back to Canada. A Texas immigration judge ordered Tracey to go home on Tuesday, after she entered a guilty plea to misdemeanor simple assault — part of a deal she made after she was arrested for her involvement in a caught-on-camera fracas with four teens.
‘Maple Leaf Menace’
Dubbed by the Department of Homeland Security “the Maple Leaf Menace,” Tracey was also sentenced to one day in jail, but was granted time served.
“This illegal alien who assaulted a teenager has no business being in our country,” the DHS said on X, adding footage of the incident.
Tracey had been in the U.S. on an expired visa, according to the DHS.
“Kaitlyn Tracey is a criminal illegal alien from Canada who was charged with simple assault, neglect of a child, compounding crime, and harassing communication,” the DHS said on X on July 15 .
“ She allegedly struck a teenage girl wearing pro-Trump memorabilia on a boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach during 4th of July weekend. She was arrested by the Point Pleasant Beach Police department who facilitated a controlled transfer into ICE custody, where she will remain pending her immigration proceedings. She entered the United States on April 14, 2024, on a visa set to expire on September 6, 2024. In violation of our nation’s laws, she overstayed her visa and failed to depart.”
Incidents not uncommon, defence says
Tracey’s defence lawyer, Francis Hodgson, tried to throw cold water on the attack, painting her as a “productive member of society.”
“She arrived here on a passport some years ago. She met her husband and didn’t leave, but while she was (here), she maintained employment and was a productive member of society,” he said, addressing Judge Guy P. Ryan.
“(Tracey has) taken responsibility for her role in it, and this is a reasonable judgment, Judge, that is consistent with other similar-type matters that happen every day during the summer on this boardwalk,” Hodgson said of the incident.
