None of the provided sources mention Wista Jean Kelly Charzales or his admission to the United States, so the 2013 admission cannot be confirmed or refuted.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.
What was said

He had 17, over 17, criminal convictions in just a two year span in the state of Massachusetts. He was initially admitted to the United States back in 2013. That would be under Barack Obama, and was granted temporary protective status. His TPS was later revoked in 2022. We witnessed him being arrested by ICE in Boston. …
VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The sources are generic pages (FactCheck.org search, AP fact-check index, PolitiFact archive, DHS yearbook landing pages, Census and Congressional Record tables) that do not name this individual or his immigration history.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Context. The DHS Yearbook 2013 page describes annual immigration statistics in general terms and does not record any individual admission, so it does not address this person.[7]
Context. The claim is an extraction from the post by VINCE, which resolves the referent to the same individual named in the passage; the claim does not add figures or scope beyond what the post states.
