HuffPost • • nation
Key Points:
- John Gannon, a 75-year-old lifelong Republican, has disavowed his support for President Donald Trump after his Venezuelan fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, was detained by ICE and is facing deportation despite having no criminal record.
- Suarez Reyes was detained at the airport without explanation while trying to fly to Las Vegas; ICE officials claimed she overstayed her visa, though she had filed an asylum application on time.
- Gannon expressed feeling betrayed by the immigration enforcement actions, comparing ICE to the Gestapo and stating that this treatment was not what he voted for or believes the American system should support.
- ICE arrests reached an all-time high in July, with 51,000 detentions, as the Trump administration has quietly increased immigration enforcement following earlier public scrutiny.
- Gannon lamented the situation, emphasizing that ICE targets easier arrests rather than serious criminals, and expressed deep personal loss over his fiancée’s detention.
