Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

John Gannon, a lifelong Republican who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, says he deeply regrets that decision after his fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, was detained by ICE at a Houston airport. Gannon says the experience changed his view of the administration’s immigration enforcement, arguing that authorities should prioritize violent criminals rather than people like his fiancée.

She definitely agrees with him politically, and likely is trying to claim she's a good one herself right now at this very moment.

What makes you think that? She arrived just a few years ago and doesn't have legal status at the moment. She was probably looking for someone who would be able to get her the ability to stay in the US. I'm not saying it's great, but if her life was in danger in her home country and this guy was giving her an out I don't know if I could hold it against her.

The immigrant to old conservative pipeline is not a new, unique, or unknown thing.

I lived in area where this practice is everywhere. Marriage is also an immigration loophole.

Unfortunately this is a really common thing and you don't do something like marriage for immigration status without knowing the risks
