*Poof!* Years of #Trump Support Came Undone in 15 Minutes in an Airport.
The case represents a new front in President Trump’s #MassDeportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.
"Mr. Jindra considered himself a #MAGA patriot until his wife’s detention."

"#BrentJindra, a tech salesman, voted for President #Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.
"Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped #GalinaBobreneva.
" 'Congratulations, you’ve been chosen for secondary screening,' he told her, according to the couple’s recollection.
The man was a federal agent, and after questioning Ms. Bobreneva for about 15 minutes, he led her away in handcuffs to an unmarked vehicle.
“ 'I’m only doing my job,' he said. 'Everything will be OK.'
"So began a 16-day ordeal: a night on the floor of a basement holding cell in downtown Los Angeles; two weeks in a Mojave Desert detention center and a frantic legal effort to win her release."
