Family of Cynthia Olivera reconsiders support for Trump after ICE detained her at green card interview

The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency – and began working to expel her from the country.

“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband – US citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera – told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”

Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three US-born children, thus joined a growing list of examples contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that the immigration crackdown it has spearheaded since the president’s return to the Oval Office in January has prioritized targeting dangerous criminals.

Turns out ladder pulling doesn't work well when you vote for the people that push you off with the ladder.

It was funny until she did the same thing to me.

I wonder if they'll learn empathy, or just outrage.

If they were capable of learning they wouldn't have voted for him in the first place

Nah. You fuckers voted for mass deportation, you fucking own it.

You just thought it wouldn't happen to the people you care about. You didn't care if it happened to other people.

Olivera

Let me guess: she looks Hispanic? That's your answer. What did you expect?

Yes..but also seems she was illegally in the country since 1999 which is even more fucking confusing why people that are illegally in the country voted for someone like trump..human stupidity never ceases to surprise me.

"My situation is nuanced and complicated. Other people's situations are simple and straightforward."

They believed the caricature "bad people" were going to be the ones targeted. She wasn't a "bad person" she just stayed a little longer while trying to get her green card....

Not necessarily… it seems her husband surname (Francisco Olivera)

As I've said many times, they don't care unless it affects them personally, then it is a crisis.

I hope she at least learns from this...but with what I've seen of conservatives, she's going to move here and start voting Conservative
