For Trump voters, ICE’s brutal and violent assaults against men, women, and children they suspect are in the country illegally are the best entertainment around.
After all, who needs the WWE when you can watch an armored ICE thug shoot a pastor in the head with pepper spray balls? What’s the point of reality TV when you can go on social media and squeal like a happy hog as you watch government goons literally tearing a baby out of his father’s arms?
It’s all fun and games. Well, right up until ICE comes for you and your loved ones. Such is the misery of the Brown family in Missouri. Jim Brown is a 20-year Navy veteran and Trump voter, married to the 58-year-old Irish-born Donna Hughes Brown.
U.S. Navy veteran "100 percent" regrets voting for Trump—after ICE detains his wife.

Now she'll be locked up over Thanksgiving—despite not being charged with any crime—and being a lawful permanent resident.

Donna arrived in the United States at age 11 and is a legal resident and green card holder. That should be enough to protect her from ICE, but they zeroed in on a misdemeanor charge of passing a bad check a decade ago. They promptly accused the grandmother of five of “moral turpitude”, snatched her, and dumped her in a hellish Kentucky detention center.
We can all sleep soundly knowing this dangerous grandma is off the streets
Donna’s immigration hearing has been repeatedly delayed and will now be heard on Dec. 18, meaning it’s confirmed that this grandma will spend Thanksgiving sitting in a filthy cell away from her family.
Jim Brown is maybe finally realizing that voting for Trump may not have been the smartest move. In comments to Live5News, he explained he “100 percent” regrets his vote and said:
“Please show me in the Bible where this is what you are supposed to do. It’s wrong. Period. Because she’s 100% innocent. Including being legal in this country. … She hasn’t ever been heard as far as trial goes, which is nonsense that she even has to go through a freaking trial for this. Why in the world should she have to go through a trial for something that she already paid for, that was a misdemeanor?”
Meanwhile, Donna herself describes her current situation as “absolutely horrible”. I’m sure it is!
ICE is unrepentant. In comments to journalists about Donna’s case, they filed this grandma under the category of “criminal alien offenders who pose a threat to public safety and the rule of law”. Yeah, maybe she’s going to bake a seditious pumpkin pie or serve up some antifa choc-chip cookies…
