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.

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.

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

He's going to vote for Democrats in the next election then, right? ...right?

I'll say it again. It makes me very happy to see people get what they want. Gratz to this guy.

oh no! anyway.

Hopefully he learns from his mistake and gains some empathy, but I'm not holding my breath. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

What do these putrid MAGAts hope to get out of sharing these situations? The right doesn’t care, and the left is letting him suck it up, as he should. No sympathy for MAGAt trash.

I cant believe its Bidens fault this guy lost his mail order wife half his age. The obvious solution is to vote for Trump cuz he will make it better.

(Im not convinced he doesn't actually belive this)
