7:39Now PlayingThis woman was a fervent Trump supporter but now her husband is being deported. Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks, asks if you think we should have sympathy for her. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. Should we have sympathy for a Trump voter whose husband is being deported? Vote here
"Helen Beristain is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump. She’s said in the past that she voted for the President because she agreed with an immigration policy that he promoted. Now, as her husband is about to be deported, her family is on the wrong side of a system she thought would spare them.
Helen’s husband, Roberto Beristain, came to the U.S. illegally from Mexico in 1998, and subsequently received documentation to work in the U.S. and has been checking in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But in 2000, he accidentally crossed over into Canada on a trip to Niagara Falls, and ended up being detained, and was told he had to leave the U.S. He didn’t, because Helen was pregnant at the time, according to Indiana Public Media.
Since Roberto remained in the country instead of voluntarily deporting himself, ICE then had the authority to take him into custody. When ICE stumbled upon this incident in February of this year, they did just that, and sent him from his home in Granger, Indiana, to a detention facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He is set to be deported on Friday."
