## Summary

DHS says Daniela Bittner, a German social media model known as the former owner of the squirrel P’Nut, was arrested by ICE because she overstayed temporary permission to be in the United States. The department says she will remain in custody during removal proceedings and receive due process.

Bittner, 30, entered the US legally several times between May 2021 and November 2022, DHS said, but overstayed. Her husband, Mark Longo, says she has been held in poor conditions and describes the paperwork issue as minor; DHS did not say where she is detained. The couple gained national attention after New York officials seized and euthanised P’Nut and a raccoon named Fred in 2025, citing wildlife rules and a bite report that led to rabies testing.
