Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His StaffVincent Scardina supported Donald Trumps tough stance on immigration at the ballot box. But that decision came back to bite the roofing boss when ICE detained a third of his workforce.
The six men, all from Nicaragua, were pulled over in a work truck on May 27 while heading to a joband carted off to jail.
According to the Monroe County Sheriffs Office, deputies helped transport the men to a local detention facility for deportation.
Scardina, who runs a small roofing business in Floridas Lower Keys, cannot believe it. Its quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friendsnot just an employer but a friend, he told NBC6, visibly emotional.

(54,330 posts)he looked to be close to tears because his business was screwed, he said something like "it's up in the air." I couldn't believe it. I wished the reporter had asked him if he thought it would have happened if Kamala had been elected.

The fucking nerve of him. Stronzo!
