Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His Staff, The Daily Beast, 6/12/25
. . .
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.

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.

Adding to Scardina’s annoyance, the men had valid work permits and pending asylum applications, according to their attorney Regilucia Smith.

“They are legally here,” she said. “Valid work permit, not even close to expired… again, no criminal records—not here, not in Nicaragua.”
. . .
Scardina isn’t alone. He says other contractors in the area are being hit hard too. “I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.”

Back to Scardina - the Monroe County sheriff's office said they were transported to a local detention facility “for deportation.”

three of the ((six) workers have now been transferred to detention centers in Texas and California. (remember they were seized in Key West, FL)

1. Where did you think they would find those 11 million to deport, stupid?

[Blues Heron]

2. Go woke or go broke, Mr. Trump voting moron. Wake the fuck up bro, he's a con

[Paladin]

3. Like the piece-of-shit Governor of my state (Texas) says: "FAFO." (nt)

[SARose]

11. He's liable to FO

On Saturday!

I pray my fellow Texans turn out in DROVES Saturday.

[OMGWTF]

37. Find your local tribe and SHOW UP -- www.nokings.org

[bluedigger]

4. It's becoming very difficult to find suitable workers to exploit.

[Farmer-Rick]

14. Exactly right

Now, they will have to hire other people of color to pay less than minimum wage to, make work excessive hours and ignore safety requirements for. And maybe those people aren't so afraid of being deported.

Ice should take a look at the employees at pedo Trump's places. He likes to hire and marry cheap immigrant labor.

[rubbersole]

32. She started out cheap...

..bet it's pretty expensive (money wise) now. She'll always be cheap.

[Abstractartist]

5. Ok

Sorry, but I somewhat don’t feel sorry for any MAGA voter who is suffering now. I feel for the innocent workers and legal immigrants that have worked hard to come here.

Everyone who voted for Trump knew what was going to happen. He blabbered it every chance he got. They cheered and yelled for him to do it, yet it came down to this simple fact…..THEY COULD NOT HANDLE A SMART MIXED RACE WOMAN AS PRESIDENT…..

So f all you sad, crying, going bankrupt MAGAts, because I don’t give 2 shits about any of you.

[patphil]

6. I feel bad for all those workers, but not for him.

Trump told us what he was going to do about immigration when he was running for election, and now he's doing it.
Scardina's concern is a bit late.
Miller, Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, Rubio...these are just a few of the loveless people Trump has around him. Not to mention Border Czar Tom Homan. They aren't interested in the status of immigrants, they're only numbers to these people.
It's the "body count" that's important...got to make those quotas.

[JBTaurus83]

7. And yet

These same worthless scum bags will continue to support fascism. It seems impossible to get them out of this.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Yes he will vote for Trump again. Even if he loses everything.

MAGA is a real cult.

[Walleye]

8. Did he go to a rally and hold a sign that says "mass deportations now". What part didn't he understand?

[Norrrm]

9. Quit whining, Trumpster. Start hiring republicans who now get their jobs back.

[IbogaProject]

39. Yep

Time to climb up on that ladder with whomever you can hire. Just be careful as getting health insurance payouts for coverage might be difficult now.

[Dr. T]

40. Rubio is able-bodied and from Florida.

He can start installing shingles any day he wants. Same with Bondi and Noam. What are his kids doing these days? All of a sudden,
there's plenty of room for more workers on the rooftops of Florida.

[SARose]

10. I am sick of hearing this

You voted for this. The deal is you never believed it would affect YOU.

Even after possibly losing your business, I’ll betcha a dollar you would vote for the convicted serial rapist and felon again.

Pfffttt

[Aristus]

12. They're going into a detention facility, and HE'S crying?

Fuck you, asshole! You voted for this! This is your fault!

[Basso8vb]

13. That nazi can fuck straight off with those crocodile tears.

Fuck him, I don't fucking care.

[hadEnuf]

15. So how are people legally here being deported?

Has their legal status been revoked? Otherwise, their apprehension and incarceration are totally illegal.

[LittleGirl]

23. sounds like it doesn't it?

Just like revoking Global Entry for US citizens. Chris Crebs' was revoked.

I think they just want to dismiss everyone that has brown skin out of the country.
Go away. We don't want your kind here is what I've heard before.

They suck and I hate those people.

[Marthe48]

25. Who is stopping them?

The (formerly) s.c. has smeared poop on the wall and is sitting back saying, 'look what I did!"
Congress, senate, the all mighty rich support every illegal action and will let our country go to hell if they think they'll benefit.

[IronLionZion]

29. They don't care about documents or legal status

they have detained plenty of US citizens too. The dirtiest part of their plan is that the ones here following the laws, registered and have regular check-ins with ICE, and doing things the right way, are easiest to find. They can be found at work sites and court houses and ICE offices.

ICE rammed a car with a family inside to arrest one, all were US citizens.

[hadEnuf]

44. So there is no basis at all for picking up and incarcerating people with legal status?

I thought there may be at least some question about status, no matter how small or hairsplitting. If they are simply deporting people without legal reason except for a bastardization of a 1797 law, then no one is safe and the Trump administration needs to be removed.

[turbinetree]

16. How does it feel to sleep withe enemy dude.............and now your crying...................boo fucking hooo

no sympathy................you got what you voted for.............

[Bengus81]

17. ROFLMAO!! Oh wait....that was suppose to happen to the OTHER guy right??

FAFO

[turbinetree]

20. He was looking for cheap piece meal work labors...............Florida immigration is crashing...........

look at what this guy is doing with tomatoes..............and just guess who is going to pay higher prices for future tomatoes prices...............and these people voted for this con artist ............again boo fucking whooo.............they were warned...............

[LatteLady]

18. Odd definition of "friend"

This person, like so many other Trump voters, has ZERO sense of how their vote for Trump has caused this harm and misery. No sense of accountability or responsibility. He thinks he is their FRIEND? The complete inability to see that his own choice of action doomed them.

Hint to brown and black people (and women): Trump voters are not your friends.

[NBachers]

19. Here are Yelp pages with pictures of the workers he sacrificed to his fascist god:

https://yelp.to/crWZEtAj3j

Edited to add: Roofing work in Key West has to be hard, difficult work. First, it gets hot, then the daily summer monsoon rains come, then the air is like a steam bath.

[LittleGirl]

24. I don't know how anyone lives like that

in that climate. ick.

[BonnieJW]

41. My inlaws lived in Sarasota

I visited them twice. It was two visits too many. The heat, humidity, stupidity, and bugs were beyond intolerable

[LittleGirl]

42. I haven't been in FL for at least a decade

and it was near the Alabama coast when I was on vacation. I have never been to Disney world even though I was there as a kid when they were building it. Haven't been back since.

[NBachers]

43. Rejoice! Now the Maggots can go and re-claim all the jobs that were taken away from them!

[Attilatheblond]

46. They need to get their whiny asses to Ventura County & pick those strawberries PDQ too

I got a little home sick yesterday, watching Jacob Soboroff reporting from a field I have driven past thousands of times. The magas should go pick those strawberries, at least the weather there is better than FL.

[progressoid]

30. The reviews!

The Scardinas promised to make my roof great again, but their service is non-existent due to staffing shortages.

Vincent Scardina put the roof on our house and two days later it just blew away. Terrible job. Awful owner. I hear he likes TACOs. Weird.

Supported an authoritarian dumpster moron and has a surprised pikachu face when his own workers are taken away. get the frick real. what a terrible owner and he even said they were his 'friends'. YOU F'D up vincent you moron. and your work sucks now.

[KT2000]

21. Rebuild after the next hurricane?

Good luck with that. Idiots.

[RobinA]

26. Sheeeet, I Never Thought

of that angle. Just sorry for the people who didn't vote Trump.

[Attilatheblond]

47. So much still left to clean up/fix in LA area after those fires. But, ICE is scooping up the hard working laborers.

The day laborers tend to gather where contractors and regular homeowners know they can easily hire them for short term but very necessary work. ICE goes there and grabs people. Contractors and private home owners can't do it all without help. Boo Hoo for the idiots that voted themselves into this pickle.

[IronLionZion]

22. Leopards are eating way too much it's bad for their health

Force feeding leopards is animal abuse at this point

[orleans]

27. vincent sardina: wave goodbye to your friends and employees as they are dragged off to various out of state "detention"

centers and possibly deported. maybe even shed a tear or two as you call out to them: "SORRY BUT I VOTED FOR THIS..."

dickhead!

"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."

[gopiscrap]

28. fuck that owner

hope he goes bankrupt FAFO

[Bettie]

33. So, to recap

voted for Face Eating Leopards....is shocked when leopards eat faces.

I'd tell him that I'm confused....thought he would be happy that his guy is keeping his promise to get rid of them.

I have become a much less kind person since November. I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for that creature.

ETA: I bet he'd vote for him again tomorrow as that seems to be the way these magats operate.

[Martin68]

34. I just hope he does something about it.

[Iggo]

35. Fuck you. You voted for this. Fuck you.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. Another member of The Leopards Eating People Faces Party

[Botany]

38. ATTN Vincent Scardina being stupid does not give you protection from the blow back from your .....

…… stupid decisions. Krasnov told you exactly what he was going to do and that was to
be a dictator from day one and that he was going to go after Hispanic people and deport
them. And you Vincent of the “People Republic of Jack Wagons” who has Hispanic employees
still voted for him. I hope he goes bankrupt and loses everything

[colorado_ufo]

45. These poor workers - what about their homes, families?

All I hear is whining about business problems - not a word of concern about the fate of these good, hard working people!

[Katinfl]

48. Sorry.

Saw him on MSNBC yesterday and he admitted he voted for trump but never thought it would get to this. FAFO. No sympathy for him or anyone else in this situation. I only have feelings for the innocent people caught up in this nonsense. They are only trying to abide by the rules and make a decent living. As for this guy crying the blues, I could not care less.

[Clouds Passing]

50. Leopards baby, leopards!

[kevinore]

51. It's no longer F*** Around and Find Out...

It's no longer F*** Around and Find Out, now it's F*** Around and F*** Over.

[mucifer]

52. I bet he will still vote for trump

[mwb970]

53. Waah.

[AverageOldGuy]

54. FAFO

Or should we say "Vote for Trump, Find Out!"

[LittleGirl]

55. He has that slave owner attitude

“I fed them good and gave them a roof over their head. That was a good life for them there black negroes. Nowadays, they speak Mexican and are hard workers willing to work, even for the slave wages I pay them, because that’s how it is.”

Am I right?
