Abdellatif Hafraoui sits at a small dining table in the Bayonne apartment he shares with his wife, Sandra, sipping his morning coffee — a ritual unchanged over their 15 years of marriage.
Since August, however, that routine has been shadowed by months in ICE detention and the black ankle monitor now strapped around his leg.

The arrest forced Sandra to reconsider assumptions she had long held about immigration enforcement. “To think we were MAGA!,” Sandra proclaimed. The couple even attended a Trump rally in Las Vegas in 2020.
Sandra voted for Trump three times, believing enforcement would focus on people with criminal records — not individuals like her husband.
Asked what she would say to him now, she paused. “You said you were going after the worst of the worst, but instead you ruined our life,” she said.
So, what they are actually saying is that the government is “hurting the wrong people”.
They wanted people hurt, just not not themselves.
republicans ALWAYS ASSUME the opposite of what they are told. they assume hes kidding when hes is not.
I was told by my grade 8 history teacher that, “The Government is not your friend, the Government is not your enemy, the Government is there to make sure there is a tomorrow.” I don’t know what it means, but it sure sounds good, eh?
