Bryan José Rojas Galofre wanted to give his wife a lovely honeymoon to see the beach for the first time and perhaps a glimpse of President Donald Trump, whom she supports.

Their January 2025 road trip from Wisconsin to Miami, however, turned into a nightmare, according to the couple: Rojas, a Venezuelan immigrant whose wife and young children are U.S. citizens, was detained following a stop at a Trump hotel security checkpoint.

He spent more than three months in ICE custody in Florida. Rojas also faced accusations of gang affiliation; he says he feared being deported to El Salvador and lost his stable job and work permit. The family says they’ve lost their house and car, had to deplete Rojas’ 401(k) and are in debt.

“In the end, it was a bad decision,” Rojas, 34, said

“I’m his fan. I believe Trump is a good president,” she said. However, Zaragosa noted this political loyalty co-exists with the disappointment she feels over the months her husband spent in detention.

“What he is doing to migrants isn’t fair,” Zaragosa said of the president. “What happened to my family wasn’t fair.”

      For sure, if I was detained and my spouse said this, I would be starting the divorce process. Same if I did it to them, I would expect them to divorce me. The choice between supporting a politician and supporting your spouse should be the easiest out there, and yet she failed that simple test.

        Hey, don’t be so Puritan to slave contractors!
        Zaragosa probably married Rojas for the fact he can clean, repair, and afford trips to luxurious beaches!

        Wait deathcamps does them apart, does that mean Zaragosa can enslave another Venezolano‽
