Canadian woman charged with assaulting Jersey Shore teen in MAGA clothes is ‘criminal illegal alien’ who overstayed visa: DHS

The Canadian woman accused of slapping a teen wearing “pro-Trump memorabilia” on a Jersey Shore boardwalk was in the country illegally, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.

Kaitlyn Tracey, 33, who’s been cooling her heels at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark,
overstayed her visa by nearly two years after coming to the US in April 2024, according to DHS.

Tracey was busted after allegedly confronting a group of four teenagers — including a 16-year-old girl with “patriotic-colored” MAGA sweatpants — at the Point Pleasant boardwalk over Fourth of July weekend, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com.

She allegedly slapped the girl across the face and body on July 3, cops said.

Tracey “is a criminal illegal alien from Canada who was charged with simple assault, neglect of a child, compounding crime, and harassing communication,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to The Post.

The lefty immigrant entered the US on April 14 2024 on a visa that expired on September 6 of that year, officials said.

Tracey didn’t go back home “in violation of our nation’s laws” and overstayed her visa by failing “to depart,” the DHS spokesperson said.

The Canuck will remain at Delaney Hall pending her immigration proceedings.
