Woman Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ After ICE Detained Her Trump-Supporting Husband
Woman Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ After ICE Detained Her Trump-Supporting Husband
My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.
But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:
“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.
These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!
I’m so extremely puzzled by it. I cannot fathom what it is that’s so alluring about Donald Trump. The guy is a total asswipe.
It's the "I don't give a fuck" attitude he has. His fan base thinks that leader material. They think compromise and humility are weak. They like that he doesn't care for people. They believe he cares for them and all his hate spew is towards everyone else but them.
Does your life suck? Well, it's somebody's fault. And Trump is going to make them pay.
The guy talks like he feels strongly about issues but remains absolutely vague, which allows people to subconsciously fill in the blanks, so they hear whatever they want to hear.
That thing that I'm afraid of, he is going to solve that once and for all, without fussing about saying things are complicated like the democrats would.
He uses hypnosis techniques while projecting vague enough ideas to people who need to hear that it's all going to be okay. I am one that falls for it, that's how I researched it to figure it out. That's why I tell people to speed up his videos to 1.5 for family that have gone maga, it breaks the spell.
To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community,
That is how the other narcissistic morons always describes one of their own. During covid there were so many obituaries about these "loving family people" who had died from being unvaccinated, and when you checked their social media history it consisted of nothing but heinous hateful memes.
Yeah, no disagreement there.
By your powers combined....I AM.....CAPTAIN......PLLLLLANNNNUUUTTTT uhhhhhggg mmmmHmmm
“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”
Oh, don't you worry about that, ICE will show up and detain that baby.
ICE will show up and detain that baby.
I heard they got the protip from the Commander in Chief himself. You just grab 'em by the pussy and that baby ain't goin' nowhere!
No doubt. Has she been reading up on trump's attacks on Birthright Citizenship?
The baby might not even be an American when it's born. It's dad isn't American so no birth right citizenship right?
Well, since their mother is a citizen, they would be a citizen at birth. However, we all know ICE doesn't follow the due process, so anything can happen.
I'm not sure you know what a baby shower is...
It's where you stand under a faucet and babies fall out, right?
I think in history there has never been a quicker demonstration of "if you support fascists they will eventually come for you too". Dude has been in the office for couple months and is already rounding up his supporters lol
And she's voting Republican again!
Leopards: "NomNom"
It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.
You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read "Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!". Those people can't be helped.
the establishment in the Democratic party isn't interested in winning.

Not for lack of trying. Harris made repeated trips down to the boarder to play "Tough On Crime" dress-up for the conservatives. She even did the famous Do Not Come speech, aimed at Guatemalan migrants fleeing their own domestic (US sponsored) ethnic cleansing.
You'd think folks obsessed with "border security" would love Democrats, given how regularly they advance bills to harden and militarize the border. Unless of course... this isn't about "security" at all. It is about white supremacy and the consolidation of power within a single ethno-nationalist party.
In that case, why on earth would white nationalists side with a party full of non-white people? Why do Democrats spend so much time and money and man-hours attempting to court their vote, while spending even more time and money and man-hours alienating the votes of people of color and left-liberal migrant families?
We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.
“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”
He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.
ice froze her shower.
they'll probably deport the baby
Depends on skin color.
It's extremely weird to see people fixating - laser like - on the tiny fraction of people who get reported as "Trump supporting" while seemingly ignoring the tens of thousands who were Harris supporters or (far more commonly, since they're often undocumented or unhoused) completely cut out of the domestic political system.
As though these massive nationwide ICE raids conducting an ethnic cleanse are somehow the Karma Police and not just ethnic cleanse squads that happen to side-swipe a few conservatives along the way.
The fixation isn't in support of ICE but in satisfaction that at least some of those at fault suffer under their own hateful desires. They voted for the leopard to eat faces and are shocked when it eats their face.

Yeah, especially in this community……………………….
It's pretty easy to get blindsided by things when you've got your head up your own arse.
I understand that they’ve got a job to do, immigration, but I just feel like he was specifically targeted because of what’s going on where he’s from, his home country,
Isn't that true for most of the immigrants
Ha, and might I add, Ha.
“We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out—and we are. We don’t wait until a military operation to execute; we proactively deliver on President Trump’s mandate to secure the homeland,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
These people are so evil. Hopefully someday they all get their just desserts from a Nuremberg-style trial.
10000% pure copium. The fascists will NEVER see any semblance of justice unless YOU, PERSONALLY dedicate your life to making it happen. And even then, it isn't likely unless millions of other Americans accept their individual responsibility as a citizen to do the same.
THAT is the level of effort required to bring a society back after it has allowed its democratic institutions to fail.
There are actual war criminal presidents roaming freely in the US and you think these people will get anything close to the Nuremberg trial? Delusional much?
Evil is country like yours avoiding any accountability which has made people like Putin and Netanyahu point at you and avoid any consequence. So spare me the bullshit rhetoric they'll face anything but a slap in the wrist.
Is that an atom?
She doesn't seem like the best catch.
“He brought happiness back to me, and taught me what it is like to be loved correctly,” Gardner wrote on the site. “He encouraged me, and still encourages me each and every day. He sees the best in me, and never has given up, despite how difficult I can be sometimes.”
If you can't handle me at my worst, I'll call ICE on you.
Sounds like the type of woman whose whole existence and personality is "So-and-so's wife". Aka typical Republican woman.
There are very few people who are a "catch" in the traditional sense. You have to be hot, with no faults, flaws, or baggage. High bar.
We are all depressed, stressed, anxious, self-absorbed people, in our own ways and to our own degrees. Admitting and understanding your shortcomings is hard. Having someone in your life that you can say those things about is a godsend. In the real world, the only requirement for being a catch is that you work your ass off so that your partner can say the same.
Also, this woman is having a baby shower. She's probably 7-8 months pregnant. Having been through that a few times, she's probably a hormonal, emotional wreck under the best of circumstances, but her husband is in a concentration camp, and thanks to the Supreme Court, he can be deported to Sudan with no repurcussions.
But she voted for that and this obviously happened his first term if you looked at it at all. I'm guessing that she didn't think her husband was the right kind of brown to get deported?
It's great you have empathy for her, but there are a lot of people before her that I would share that with. This is happening to families that don't have any support, I'm assuming her family and friends are there for her if she's having a baby shower.
He may not know it yet, but ICE may have saved him. From her. He voted for Rrump so it's going to take some heavy deprogramming to get him to realize he is the target and that he voted to pull the trigger.
I’m sure every Trump supporting man tells their woman she’s so difficult for simply wanting to be treated reasonably or speaking
this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.
they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.
and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing
Nobody here is glad these things are happening. They tried very hard to stop it and got a collective "fuck you" from the rest of the country. All of them would rather Trump be stripped of his power than have a MAGA deported, but seeing as that's not going to happen...
yhea, I know,
it's just that "leopards ate my face" is not even close to what is happening, more like leopard cub slightly scratched my face.
we voted for a racist ethnic cleansing, and now I lost some workers I pay below minimum wage :( or a maga that was also an immigrant but supported ethnic cleansing also got detained :(
I have less sympathy for non-voters than I do Republican voters.
This was mind-boggling and painful to read. Literally every paragraph was just wrong in at least six different ways.
A point of light in an increasingly dreary world.
"Stupid is as stupid does". The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect
I can't fight the 'tism kicking in, sorry. Those are cheetah, not leopards!
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.
Good ol' Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.
I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.
Easiest breakup ever. Masterfully done! /s
I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don't have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.
I read "blindfolded" at first and wasn't even the slightest bit surprised
Oh noez! Anyway…
Nom nom nom
Jesus fucking Christ still a fucking centrist shitting on the "left" even as the State kidnapped your fucking husband.
Despite this, Free Ribvar Karimi and free all people kidnapped by ICE. He sucks but he doesn't deserve this—because no one deserves this!
Bitch, Obama didn't kidnap your husband. AOC didn't kidnap your husband. Bernie didn't kidnap your husband. Mamdani didn't kidnap your husband. Trump did.
Obama did kidnap many husband however.
https://www.aclu.org/news/smart-justice/president-obama-wants-continue-imprisoning-immigrant-families
That's some revisionist nonsense.
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/obama-record-deportations-deporter-chief-or-not
Back in the day would people have posted a link in here if an Obama supporting immgrants husband had been deported ?
No, he DOES deserves this for providing aid and comfort to a person so terrible they support Trump. Leopards, faces, and wow looks like this is posted in the spot on right place.
can we settle on nobody deserves this, but given it’s happening he’s among the most deserving?
No he doesn't because NO ONE deserves to be deported by ICE. We can quibble later about what constitutes justice for people who enable Trump supporters, and I'm not going to police your feelings about him or people like him...I know what community I'm posting in...but supporting his deportation is not productive for the people Mr. Karimi and his wife hurt with their rhetoric and complicity! Because then, all the government and media have to do to manufacture your consent for the deportations is smear the deportees' characters.
If you think he deserves social ostracisation or some other consequence then sure, fine, but deportation by the American Gestapo? Even if you think he deserves the worst, we don't deserve the consequences of yet another ICE deportation of one of our neighbors.
Everything the State does is imposed on us by the capitalist class. So even if you would support his neighbors running him out of town...this is completely different! This is an imposition on the community that he's no longer allowed to be a part of it. And while today it happened to a Trump supporter, it happens just as often to upstanding or even beloved people in the community. We shouldn't be tolerant of any interference of the capitalist class in our affairs, even when it hurts someone I personally don't like.
Mr. Karimi is a xenophobic ass hat who I'm certain would never fight for one of us, but he's still one of our neighbors.
Books are where it's at!
Yeah me too. Fuck the Dems.
No need to blame her on this. She doesn’t want to burn the bridge, what if someone can get him out.
Yeah so she shouldn't be burning bridges with the left. Right? Because the right isn't gonna help her.
I didn't? The US government is 100% responsible for kidnapping her husband, and the capitalists are 1000% responsible for putting the US government on this trajectory. But I'm allowed to express my frustration at her rhetoric.
