DHS defends arrest of Canadian woman; deportation looms
Olivera, who says her parents brought her to California from Toronto when she was 10 years old, supported President Trumps promise to launch the largest deportation program in U.S. history during last years election.
Yeah, I was a Trump supporter. There are things that I and my husband did not like under the previous administration.
OLivera, who has no criminal record, said she was caught off guard when ICE arrested her last month at her green card interview in Chatsworth, Calif.
The mother believed she was finally going to obtain legal status. She got her work permit and Social Security card under the Biden administration and had applied for a waiver to mitigate the 1999 removal order.
Olivera said she never thought ICE would deport her and fully supported Trumps plan to go after violent offenders who were in the U.S. illegally like Jose Ibarra, who was convicted of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley.
I supported him based on violent criminals, like violent criminals like the gentleman that killed that young lady. Yes, 100% I did agree with that.
Her husband Francisco Olvera, a U.S. citizen, told Team 10 he voted for Trump, which is now a decision he regrets.

(69,645 posts)She mentions a guy who murdered a young lady and how she didn't agree with that. Well, yeah. Most of us disagree with murder.
She thought Biden was in favor of murder? She believed Trump's lies.

A judge issued her a final order of removal in 1999, and she was deported to Canada. That same" / X

(55,527 posts)and even after their loved ones are arrested by ICE they STILL support him.
This is a true sign of a cult. Hated filled sociopaths have destroyed our country and are happily supporting no matter what he does to harm them financially and physically.
They watch the bodies of dead campers float past their windows and they still say tRump was right. Mental illness plus cult behavior = MAGA.
