ICE says Kapisha entered the United States legally in 2024 on a five-month visa but failed to depart before it expired.
multiple outlets, traced to a single source · Attributed statement · first recorded Aug 8, 1:30 AM
Outlets disagree on this: ICE states Kapisha overstayed her visa; Kapisha's union and Maine Medical Center say she has been living and working in the United States legally while her asylum case is pending, and MaineHealth also said she appeared to be living and working here legally.
Although several outlets carry this claim, their reporting traces back to a single shared source — so it counts as one confirmation, not several.
