Trump Voter Says Wife Was Detained by ICE After California Airport Arrival
A three-time Trump voter was left devastated after the immigration policies of the president he repeatedly supported resulted in his wife being taken away.Tech salesman and former MAGA supporter Brent Jindra, 48, was stunned when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained his wife, Galina Bobreneva, after the couple landed at Burbank Airport in California, The New York Times reported.
"A U.S. citizen just watched his wife get dragged away and had no idea where she was going," Jindra, who voted for President Donald Trump, 80, because of his promises of strict immigration enforcement, recalled of the day.
Jindra was in town to see clients, while Bobreneva—who is originally from Russia—had traveled with him to visit friends. Instead, she was taken to the Adelanto ICE Processing Facility, leaving Jindra struggling to understand how his wife, who "did not jump a wall, she did not swim a river," could be detained when she "came in Trump's beautiful, big front door."
Bobreneva arrived in the U.S. in 2021 on a tourist visa, which she later extended after the war in Ukraine broke out. She applied for asylum in 2022, before meeting Jindra.
"The allure of the MAGA campaign was around illegal entries of criminals," Jindra told the Times.
The DHS said in a statement to the Times that Jindra's wife was "an illegal alien" who was targeted for arrest because "she overstayed her welcome in violation of our nation's laws."
"We are living in fear in my own country," Jindra said.
The tech salesman is not the only Trump voter to become frustrated with the president's policies.
