Trump-Voting Family STUNNED After Canadian Mom GETS DEPORTED - Really American
‘I want my vote back’: Trump-voting family stunned after Canadian mother detained over immigration status.
The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent U.S. residency – and began working to expel her from the country.
“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband – U.S. citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera – told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”
Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three U.S.-born children, thus joined a growing list of examples contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that the immigration crackdown it has spearheaded since Trump’s return to the Oval Office in January has prioritized targeting dangerous criminals. - 07/06/2025.
