Shawn Chan believed deported after federal insanity ruling
Summary
– Shawn Chan is believed to have been deported after the Liv Morgan stalking case ended
– Chan was found not guilty by reason of insanity after a federal bench trial
– Court records stated Chan wanted to return to Canada and did not oppose the ICE detainer
Shawn Chan is believed to be out of Florida after the federal case tied to alleged stalking of WWE star Liv Morgan reached its legal endpoint.
Chan is no longer listed as being held in Hernando County, Florida. That change follows the previous court update stating he would be released from U.S. Marshal custody and transferred to ICE.
The immigration process was expected to move forward because Chan did not oppose the detainer and wanted to return to Canada. Given that his name no longer appears in county custody records, it is believed that deportation may have already occurred.
Chan had been arrested in connection with allegations involving Morgan, making the case a serious concern for WWE fans and the wrestling community.
The federal criminal case ended on June 18 after a stipulated facts bench trial in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Chan was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
The judge ruled that Chan had been stabilized from a prior psychotic state, had been deemed competent by medical providers, and no longer posed a danger to Morgan or the public.
Federal prosecutors did not challenge that conclusion, and the court found that Chan’s release from criminal custody would not create a major risk of bodily harm or property damage.
That ruling did not mean Chan was free to remain in the United States. An ICE detainer was already active, and the court noted that Chan wanted to return to Canada.
The U.S. Marshal Service was expected to coordinate with ICE for the transfer. With the criminal case closed and Chan believed to be out of county custody, the immigration side of the matter now appears close to finished as well.
