Columbus Ohio’s Young Native Faces Expulsion to Venezuela

Columbus, Ohio – The “Pumpkingate Incident” occurred on Halloween night when Tyler Beaumont wanted a jack-o’-lantern for the occasion but instead chose to smash pumpkins in his neighborhood, a traditional practice that has been widely celebrated.

Tyler woke up in Venezuela Thursday morning, surrounded by his adopted Venezuelan neighbors who had generously provided refuge while he awaited a review of his deportation order. As for Columbus, Ohio, and its residents—the community took the opportunity to discuss cultural misunderstandings brought about by youthful exuberance with greater care toward future decorum.

Authorities are now emphasizing that no further action will be taken beyond Tyler’s supervised pumpkin restoration project and his relocation to a country he is unfamiliar with. ICE has released a video that will be mandatory viewing in all schools, educating Columbus residents about their commitment to respecting porch traditions while also recognizing the importance of cultural sensitivity.
