UPDATE: Michael Sandford was in the US illegally. He overstayed his visa.
The man who attempted to steal a police officer’s gun and “kill Donald Trump” at the Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, was in the US illegally, having overstayed his visa, a federal court found out during the arraignment.
Michael Steven Sandford faced a federal judge in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon, after his arrest on Saturday night at the Trump rally. The 19-year-old had tried to grab a service pistol from a Las Vegas Police Department officer. Secret Service agents protecting the presumptive GOP nominee then arrested the teenager, whose only form of identification was a UK driver’s license.
