If this dude really did vote for Donald Trump, you’ve gotta love it.
The recent immigration crackdown has led to a heartbreaking situation for a Miami man whose wife was deported despite his support for Trump
On January 26, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted widespread raids across South Florida, resulting in nearly 1,000 arrests. This operation was part of President Trump’s renewed efforts to increase deportations of undocumented immigrants, fulfilling a key campaign promise.
Among those detained was Vianis Ramirez, a Venezuelan national who had been living in the U.S. for several years. Her husband, who chose to remain anonymous, reported that ICE agents “snatched” his wife during a raid in the Brownsville area of Miami. The man, who had allegedly voted for Trump, found himself in a distressing situation:
His wife was in the process of applying for citizenship and had an upcoming court date and the couple was about to celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary on January 31, 2025.
He appealed directly to President Trump, saying, “If I get a chance to talk to you, man. Yo, please man let’s work something out so you may let me keep my wife here.”
This case highlights the complex and often contradictory relationship some Latino voters have with Trump’s immigration policies. In the 2024 election, an estimated 55% of Latino male voters favored Trump, up from 32% in 2016. Many Latino Trump supporters cited economic reasons for their vote, with some experiencing financial losses during the Biden administration.
This incident underscores the real-world consequences of stricter immigration policies, even for those who supported them. It also reflects a broader trend of increased ICE activity, with the agency reporting nearly 1,000 raids across the nation on that Sunday alone2.
