El Paso International Airport. He entered the country
legally on September 10, 2014, and was granted permission
by the Obama administration to remain in the country
until February 10, 2018. In violation of our nation’s
laws, he overstayed his welcome. When approached by law
enforcement officers, he was not in possession of legal
documentation granting him status in the country. He will
remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and
will receive due process.

2月10日。他違反我國法律逾期居留。執法人員上前時，他並未
持有賦予其在美合法身分的文件。他將繼續由ICE羈押，等待
遣返程序，並將獲得正當程序。」

to remain in the country safely, and to make sure they
carry proper documentation while traveling.

matters affecting player travel and security, including
travel and security for their families.”
