A three-time Trump voter was left devastated after the immigration policies of the president he repeatedly supported resulted in his wife being taken away.

Tech salesman and former MAGA supporter Brent Jindra, 48, was stunned when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained his wife, Galina Bobreneva, after the couple landed at Burbank Airport in California, The New York Times reported.

“A U.S. citizen just watched his wife get dragged away and had no idea where she was going,” Jindra, who voted for President Donald Trump, 80, because of his promises of strict immigration enforcement, recalled of the day.

    From what I’ve read, she’s out on bond, with a ankle monitor, awaiting a court hearing in a few months.

    At least she’s going to get a chance to make her case to a judge, which is better than most are getting. At least she wasn’t sent back to Russia within hours of arrest, or even a third nation.

    As long as it’s happening to anyone but themselves, it’s amazing! The second it happens to them. It’s a travesty and a violation of their civil rights 😂

    this is what you want in america, this is what you get. also evangelical whites hold the majority of influence in this country, being a POC or married to a POC voting R, does not make you an EXCEPTION, but a token to be thrown away.

    Good. Maybe now he’s learned his fucking lesson.
    Seriously, no sympathy for these people. He was perfectly fine with thousands of other people’s lives and marraiges being destroyed, but suddenly when it happens to him I’m supposed to feel sad for him? Fuck no I don’t feel sad.
    Think about somebody else for a change asshole.

    Looking at the article, he pretty much thought ICE would only detain people crossing the border from mexico.

      So, all the signs at all his rallies saying “Mass Deportations Now!” Weren’t enough of a clue for him? And the grand shitlord himself saying as much repeatedly? Jebus H Crust these people are fucking stupid and/or just awful, awful people.

      thats likely the limit of his scope on ICE/immigration/deportation, which is distilled from Faux news, or some right wing news sources , or posts on FB.

    I’m so happy for him.

    But did I read that right? He’s devastated? I thought he’d be happy. He got what he voted for.
