CUE THE TINY "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THIS" VIOLINS! Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His Staff

Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His Staff

Vincent Scardina supported Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration at the ballot box. But that decision came back to bite the roofing boss when ICE detained a third of his workforce.

The six men, all from Nicaragua, were pulled over in a work truck on May 27 while heading to a job—and carted off to jail.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies helped transport the men to a local detention facility “for deportation.”

Scardina, who runs a small roofing business in Florida’s Lower Keys, cannot believe it. “It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,” he told NBC6, visibly emotional.

This is a failure of imagination. What did they think mass deportations meant?

Illegally hiring people. Where are the charges. Time to lock them up too. Teach him to respect the law. Maybe a few years in Gitmo and he will get the message. This is what he voted for and he is a moron.

To rely on migrant workers for your business (and friends) but vote for the Moron who has promised mass deportation. Then be surprised and emotional.

he looked to be close to tears because his business was screwed, he said something like "it's up in the air." I couldn't believe it. I wished the reporter had asked him if he thought it would have happened if Kamala had been elected.

No chance he's more than one generation removed from some Sicilian village where his dad and grandfather were carpenters. Criminals! What do you think they called YOUR FATHER, Signore Scardina?

The fucking nerve of him. Stronzo!

when it comes to deporting undocumented people who are law abiding much of his anti-immigration support vanishes, and the majority is against it in recent polls
