Trump Voter Regrets Support After ICE Detains His Fiancée

Gannon, who owns a network of billboards and hospitality businesses, described the scene at George Bush Intercontinental Airport last month as a terrifying encounter. He told CBS News that multiple ICE agents swarmed his fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, and forcibly removed her without explanation, an act he equated to the tactics of the Gestapo. According to her attorney, Anne Kennedy, Suarez Reyes entered the country legally, held a valid work permit, and maintained a clean criminal record while her asylum case remained in the system.

While Gannon now decries the administration for destroying families, his sudden shift in perspective has drawn sharp criticism from those who argue his opposition comes only because the policy finally touched his personal life. Observers pointed out that the president’s stance on immigration was transparent throughout the 2024 campaign. Journalist Molly Knight and election forecaster Rachel Bitecofer were among those who noted that Gannon seemed perfectly comfortable with mass deportations as long as they targeted others. Gun safety activist Shannon Watts echoed this sentiment, arguing that one should not require a personal tragedy to recognize the moral implications of government policy.
