Bryan José Rojas Galofre wanted to give his wife a lovely honeymoon to see the beach for the first time and perhaps a glimpse of President Donald Trump, whom she supports.
Their January 2025 road trip from Wisconsin to Miami, however, turned into a nightmare, according to the couple: Rojas, a Venezuelan immigrant whose wife and young children are U.S. citizens, was detained following a stop at a Trump hotel security checkpoint.
He spent more than three months in ICE custody in Florida. Rojas also faced accusations of gang affiliation; he says he feared being deported to El Salvador and lost his stable job and work permit. The family says they’ve lost their house and car, had to deplete Rojas’ 401(k) and are in debt.
“In the end, it was a bad decision,” Rojas, 34, said
“I’m his fan. I believe Trump is a good president,” she said. However, Zaragosa noted this political loyalty co-exists with the disappointment she feels over the months her husband spent in detention.
“What he is doing to migrants isn’t fair,” Zaragosa said of the president. “What happened to my family wasn’t fair.”
The Venezuelan man was really selfless and thoughtful here… sucks that he married and had kids with a moronic wife who can somehow still continue to excuse the pain she helped caused them all.
For the most part I have little sympathy for people who married Trump supporters. The Trump supporter likely had a lot of terrible behavior towards people in her day to day life and her husband just didn’t care about that because it didn’t directly affect him and their relationship. Now it has.
