‘Homesick’ MAGA rioter who tried to claim asylum in Ireland arrested on return to U.S.
Wisconsin Trump supporter Paul Kovacik tried to flee the country and claim asylum in Ireland — only to grow homesick, return to America, and promptly get arrested.
In a legal filing flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney it was revealed that Kovacik late last year fled to Dublin to claim asylum shortly before he was to begin what was supposed to have been a 90-day prison sentence.
However, it seems that Kovacik couldn't last more than seven months in a foreign country.
"On June 19, 2024, Kovacik decided to voluntarily return to the United States from Ireland," the court filing states. "Kovacik advised that he... had recently decided to voluntarily withdraw his asylum claim and return to the United States because he felt 'homesick.'"

Kovacik then flew into Minneapolis, where he was "promptly arrested" and taken to Hennepin County Jail before being transferred to a prison in Chicago where he is currently serving his original 90-day prison sentence.
However, even after getting out of jail, he may get additional time, as the court filing states that "there is probable cause to believe that" he broke the law that "makes it a crime to fail to surrender for service of a sentence pursuant to a court order."
