Oh NO! Such tragic! But as with slavery and Jim Crow, you know, when 'Muricuh was great, that's what happens when you buy into racism assuming that "Our n----- are good n----- so they'll be protected."Trump Supporter Breaks Down After ICE Detains a Third of His Employees. Now He's Asking the President 'What Happened?'

A Donald Trump supporter and Florida-based small business owner is opening up about feeling the emotional and financial toll of the president's aggressive mass deportation campaign.
Vincent Scardina, the owner of A-Plus Roofing in Key West, voted for Trump in the 2024 election, believing at the time that the Republican's deportation agenda would only extend to criminals, per NBC affiliate 6 South Florida.
But when six of his employees — totaling a third of his staff — were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on May 27, Scardina was puzzled.
"You get to know these guys, you become their friends — just not an employer, but a friend — and you see what happens to their family," Scardina told NBC6 of the men, who were Nicaraguan immigrants. "It's… It's quite a shock."
...Asked what he would tell the president now if he was given the chance, Scardina said: "What happened here? This situation is just totally just blatantly not at all what they said it was."
Scardina now faces the challenge of finding new employees to keep his business running — but the problem is exacerbated by Key West's remote location and other contractor businesses facing the same struggles...
The article does mention that all except one of his employees were here legally as asylum seekers but are facing deportation anyway. So for them and their families, it truly does suck.
