John Gannon, a lifelong Republican who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, says he deeply regrets that decision after his fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, was detained by ICE at a Houston airport. Gannon says the experience changed his view of the administration’s immigration enforcement, arguing that authorities should prioritize violent criminals rather than people like his fiancée.

      She definitely agrees with him politically, and likely is trying to claim she’s a good one herself right now at this very moment.

        What makes you think that? She arrived just a few years ago and doesn’t have legal status at the moment. She was probably looking for someone who would be able to get her the ability to stay in the US. I’m not saying it’s great, but if her life was in danger in her home country and this guy was giving her an out I don’t know if I could hold it against her.

          The immigrant to old conservative pipeline is not a new, unique, or unknown thing.

          I lived in area where this practice is everywhere. Marriage is also an immigration loophole.

          Unfortunately this is a really common thing and you don’t do something like marriage for immigration status without knowing the risks

    And yet he gave no fucks about everyone else losing partners to ICE. Nope not until it personally affected him.

    He is in the “find out” stage of “fuck around and find out”. He was stupid enough to vote for the new Nazi regime, their orange Führer and their GeStaPo.

      knowing how Trump voters are, there’s a good chance he reported her himself only to build public attention for a grift.
