Trump Friend Asked ICE to Detain the Mother of His Child
Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent and a longtime Trump ally, was in a custody battle over his son. An ICE official agreed to help.

Last June, the man credited with introducing President Trump to his wife asked the administration for a favor.

Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent turned presidential special envoy, had learned that his Brazilian ex-girlfriend was in a Miami jail, arrested on charges of fraud at her workplace. They had been in a custody battle over their teenage son. Now he saw an opportunity.

He reached out to a top official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, explaining that his ex was in the country illegally, according to records obtained by The New York Times and a person familiar with the communications. Could she be put in ICE detention? That could help him get his son back.

The official, David Venturella, promptly called the agency’s Miami office to ensure that ICE agents would pick up the woman from the jail before she was released on bail, according to the records and a person with knowledge of the conversation who requested anonymity to discuss it. During the call, Mr. Venturella noted that the case was important to someone close to the White House.

The woman, Amanda Ungaro, was placed in ICE custody and ultimately deported, an outcome that may well have happened regardless of Mr. Zampolli’s meddling. But the ICE official’s willingness to spring into action for a Trump ally — even one in a low-level, largely ceremonial role — reflects a recurring theme of the second Trump administration: The levers of the federal government can be pulled to settle a personal score.

1. Women are under attack.

Ditto for all the others you mentioned, but I am quite sure trump blames women for his own precarious position because: a) we vote against him more than for him, and b) we are standing with his victims more than others are. Women are a serious threat to the version of patriarchy Trump promotes. In order for his kind to be tough guys he needs submissive women/girls or complicit types like Bondi, and Cannon.
Besides, intelligent, independent women want a better world and equality. He can't have that.

2. Disgusting absolutely disgusting.

Fine put her in jail for fraud, But the father of her child did not need to take a step further and ask Ice to deport her.

3. Weaponization of government on steroids.

This is Dukes of Hazard kind of law enforcement.
