"Williamsburg's designer-clad dine-and-dasher could be deported back to her native Taiwan, The Post has learned. 34-year-old wannabe influencer Pei Chung has been in jail since Friday over theft-of-service charges following her bill-skipping spree, hitting at least 11 high-end restaurants around Brooklyn since October. She has also been slapped with an immigration warrant, according to the Department of Corrections website. A law enforcement source said Chung has overstayed her student visa."
"That means it's likely Chung will have to face a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement hearing after she appears in court Wednesday, immigration attorney Gadi Zohar told The Post. "It could trigger her being taken away if she had a visa that expired," Zohar speculated to The Post as to what could happen next to Chung. "The criminal charges are probably what triggered the [Immigration] warrant. [Immigration officers will] likely pick her up from Rikers and take her to the immigration detention center," he added."
Pei Chung, a 34-year-old self-styled influencer, has been jailed on theft-of-service charges after allegedly skipping bills at at least 11 high-end Brooklyn restaurants since October. An immigration warrant was issued and a law enforcement source said Chung overstayed her student visa, which could lead to an ICE hearing and possible detention following her court appearance. Attorney Gadi Zohar said criminal charges likely prompted the immigration warrant and that officers would likely transfer her from Rikers to an immigration detention center. Chung arrived as a student in 2019 on a scholarship to Pratt Institute and lists UX design and a 2023 Chase consulting role on LinkedIn.
