Trump Supporter Breaks Down After ICE Detains a Third of His Employees. Now He's Asking the President 'What Happened?'
https://people.com/trump-supporter-brea ... s-11755468
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...
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."
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.

Haha! I fucking love it! Oh my God! I really did predict this, I'll have to find my post where I said it, but here is a recap:
People are going to be super pissed this summer, we'll have protests, civil unrests, people losing homes, jobs, cars, no able to buy food, losing their benefits, its going to be hotter than Hell and NOW...no one will be able to afford to go anywhere. How ironic that Trump shit all over president Carter when he died, now Iran is going to make an example out of Trump
way worse than Carter ever got.
Glad I bought my Trump "I Did That" stickers as soon as the election was over...saw that coming too.
Now, I also said this would end violently, I think that is looking more and more likely. When I said that though, I mean for a single person...not all of us.

'They quit after a few hours': Farmers admit they can't find American workers
In interviews with the Washington Post, multiple farmers expressed their dismay with the loss of farm workers under Donald Trump's harsh immigration policies and his administration's waffling on subsidies.
In a deep dive focusing on one farmer who voted for Trump, 36-year-old J.J. Ficke of Kirk, Colorado, the Washington Post is reporting that he along with other farmers are facing possible ruination now that the round-up of immigrants have begun in earnest and promised helpis uncertain.
"The federal government had promised JJ a $200,000 grant, spread across two years, to cover the cost of a seasonal farmhand from Latin America. In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep<' the Post is reporting before adding, "But then Trump, in the earliest days of his second term, threatened to break tens of thousands of those deals, suspending billions in agricultural funding and decimating the staffs that managed it. Swept up in the freeze was JJ and the $50 million grant program he’d signed up for along with 140 other farmers across the country."
