Trump voter's husband DEPORTED

[Lion Heart 15,041]

 

A Mexican man who entered the United States illegally almost 20 years ago is set to be deported on Friday, amid an uptick in detentions by immigration agents emboldened by President Donald Trump — whom the man’s own wife voted for.

Roberto Beristain, 43, has been in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers since he was detained on Feb. 6 in Indianapolis, department spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa told BuzzFeed News.

The Mexican national, who owns a steak restaurant in the Indiana town of Granger, arrived in the country in 1998 before being detained two years later and ordered to leave.

It was during a trip to Niagara Falls in 2000, with his wife, Helen, and stepson, Phil Kolliopoulos, Beristain was arrested when the family inadvertently took a wrong turn and arrived at the Canadian border, Kolliopoulos wrote online.

After hiring a lawyer and posting $1,500 in bail, Beristain was released on a voluntary self-deportation order, giving him 60 days to leave the country.

“With Roberto expecting his first child soon, this was not an option for him to leave,” Kolliopoulos wrote. “He believed to be the supportive and loving husband and father he was made to be.”

When the 60 days was up, the voluntary departure order reverted to a final order of removal, said Zamarripa, the ICE spokeswoman. But for many years no action was taken.

Instead, Beristain was able to obtain a driver’s license, social security card, and work permit, according to Kolliopoulos. Beristain also checked in each year with ICE agents as part of his work permit, the South Bend Tribune reported.

It was during his annual check in with agents in Indianapolis in February that he was suddenly arrested, becoming one of hundreds of undocumented immigrants detained since President Trump took office.

“They came outside, knocked on the window,” Helen Beristain told Indiana Public Media earlier this month. “They said, ‘Are you Roberto’s wife?’ And, I said ‘Yes.’ And, they said, ‘Well, your husband is being detained because of a deportation [order] 16 and a half years ago.’ And, I said, ‘That’s a joke.’ And, they said, ‘No, it’s true.’”

...

Helen Beristain told Indiana Public Media she voted for President Trump believing that only “killers” and cartel members would be deported.

“We don’t want to have cartels here, you don’t want to have drugs in your high schools, you don’t want killers next to you,” she said. “You want to feel safe when you leave your house. I truly believe that. And, this is why I voted for Mr. Trump.”

..

“They’re distraught,” he said of the family, adding they did not wish to speak to media on Thursday. “They have lost a husband, a father, a main breadwinner.”

Helen Beristain indicated to Indiana Public Media she felt misled by the president’s plans.

“[Trump] did say the good people would not be deported, the good people would be checked,” Helen Beristain said.

I literally can't. 

I mean what did she expect??

[Gaga Monster 13,001]

Lets see if he actually had no criminal history. Obama deported more illegals than any other president in history. http://www.snopes.com/obama-deported-more-people/

And lets not forget that most of the people deported by Trump are criminals. Someone I know works as someone who arrests illegals who rape children and commit horrific crimes I can not say in the thread.

The media never reports about that but reports about the few slip ups.

This is what happens when you vote a walking cheeto into office. 

This man built himself a better life, and now it's falling apart.

Hm. I'm conflicted because he probs would've been comported under Hillary and I'm surprised Obama didn't deport him, as he set a record for deportations. 

On the other hand I can't believe the wife voted for Trump

Well yeah I would probably rule that out considering he's a family man and small business entrepreneur but.....

Yeah I am not saying he did that, but we don't know if he had a criminal history or not. And lets not forget Obama deported the most people in history. Also most Illegals deported under Trump have been gang members, child rapists, and people who commit crimes I can not say in this thread because they are so horrific.

If he has a criminal record they wouldn't have given him a self-deportation notice, he would've been detained and escorted (just my theory I guess)

I just feel sorry for the children. They now have to grow up due to her mother giving a vote to the wrong candidate.

[Ricardo 8,217]

oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

law is for everyone, I don't feel sorry for her, she knew her husband was illegal and STILL she voted for the candidate who explicitly targets Latin and Mexican immigrants

"The number of people deported at or near the [U.S.-Mexico] border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s deportation statistics.

The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations [Before Obama]. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now."
