Peanut The Squirrel's Owner Arrested By ICE

ICE arrested Daniela Bittner, the 30-year-old German-born owner of P'nut the squirrel, at Elmira Corning Regional Airport in New York in October, saying she overstayed her welcome. Her husband Mark Longo says it was a paperwork mix-up, calls detention conditions deplorable, and accuses Republicans who championed the couple's story during the 2024 campaign of abandoning them. New York DEC officers seized Peanut and a raccoon named Fred in 2024 and euthanized both for rabies testing after Peanut bit an investigator.
