The man accused of ramming a U-Haul truck into barriers near the White House earlier this week isn't a U.S. citizen, authorities said Wednesday.

Sai Varshith Kandula, a 19-year-old from suburban St. Louis, wore an orange jail-issued jumpsuit in his brief courtroom appearance when prosecutors requested pre-trial detention.

A government prosecutor told the court that Kandula is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident. But later on Wednesday, a Department of Justice official clarified the open-court remarks and said Kandula does hold a green card for lawful, permanent U.S. residency.

The suspect's national origin wasn't mentioned in court.

A college student who was on the same high school track team with Kandula told NBC News on Tuesday that they're both members of the sizable Indian American community in Chesterfield, Missouri.

We just went through several days of people saying, "How can a Hispanic guy be a white supremacist" despite that guy having swastikas tattooed on himself.

The original Aryans inhabited northern India. If this guy really is Indian, maybe he thinks he is an Aryan.

Honestly, the backbends to demean white people has gone off the rails. The man is clearly mentally ill. You not recognizing that is just, well, insanity

You don’t have to be a white supremacist to be a genocidal dictator. India’s got it’s own issues.

Also true, but a separate issue, and not related to this thread. The driver of the U-Haul had a Nazi flag, not a saffron flag.

Are you unfamiliar with the history of Nazis and India? Or current ethno-nationalism in India?

It seems the Nazis were not nearly as racist as we were taught to believe. Looks like we need a new catch-all slur.

Which clearly makes him white

Which clearly makes him someone who had a white-supremacist flag.

In the perfect position for a photo op for NBC

He’s mentally ill. His own statements show us that. You all can keep sweeping that under the rug if you want; it doesn’t make the Nazi party of white people, as you all call it, the huge terrorist organization you say it is. I am under more threat here by the mentally ill and criminals roaming the streets. So is my family. I would put your focus there, lest you become a victim yourself.

Many people in my family already have become victims of Nazis.

In the current year? In your lifetime?

Do you think he sounds like a sane white person? Curious.

It took six months to come up with this plan.

In your head: “If we redefine the meaning of Caucasian and white, we can make sure no republican ever can run again!!!!”
