Leonardo Baez and Nora Avila-Guel’s bakery in the Texas community of Los Fresnos is a daily stop for many residents to share gossip over coffee and pick up cakes and pastries for birthdays, office parties or themselves.

When Homeland Security Investigations agents showed up at Abby’s Bakery in February and arrested the owners and eight employees, residents of Los Fresnos were shocked. Abby’s Bakery doesn’t employ violent criminals and Baez and Avila-Guel are not the people who border czar Tom Homan calls the “worst of the worst” and says are the priority for mass deportations.

“I was surprised because I know that they’re not taking advantage of the people,” Esteban Rodriguez, 43, said after pulling into the bakery’s parking lot to discover it was closed. “It was more like helping out people. They didn’t have nowhere to go, instead of them being on the streets.”

...

The reaction in the town of 8,500 residents may show the limits of support for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in a majority Hispanic region dotted with fields of cotton, sugarcane and red grapefruit where Republicans made gains in last year’s elections. Cameron County voted for a GOP president for the first time since 2004. For neighboring Starr County, it was the first time since 1896.

Now, Baez and Avila-Guel, a Mexican couple who are legal U.S. permanent residents, could lose everything after being accused of concealing and harboring immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally. It’s a rare case in which business owners face criminal charges rather than just a fine.

Apparently, when people can't afford to buy food, they need less fancy refrigerators.

You mean like groceries? Groceries that wonderful little word that on one uses? That bag with stuff in it? That bag filled with grocery?

And people voted for this fucking idiot...

I know this has already been mentioned here many times, but the complacent, delusional "oh, it won't happen to me, they're talking about someone else, not "good" immigrants/citizens like me" attitude is truly something to behold. And to be fair it's not just Latino immigrants or citizens, it's a number of minority groups in which Trump made gains and people expressed sentiments like these.

Polk County mothers fight to protect their Haitian loved ones from deportation

The women plan to take legal action.
baynews9.com baynews9.com
Chappelear says she and her husband, John, were living in Haiti for missionary work at the time. After raising Cabilah, 28, for three years as their own, he was later able to join them in Lakeland last May under Biden’s humanitarian parole program.

“I ran to him as he came through the doors of the airport that day. It wound up being Mother’s Day on the 12th, and so it was wonderful that day,” she said.

Chappelear’s friend, Stacey Angulo, shared a similar reaction when she and her husband, Alex, adopted their 15-year-old son, Marven, in 2013. The couple was then able to help bring Marven’s biological sister, Maill-Eva, 20, and his mother to the U.S.

The two were granted humanitarian parole and received Temporary Protected Status (TSP).

...
However, both women say their loved ones' well-being is now at risk after learning that their Temporary Protected Status has been canceled. According to a letter they received in the mail, they have until April 24 to return to Haiti.

...

Chappelear and Angulo say the decision completely goes against why they voted for President Trump in the 2024 election.

Well, why did they vote for Trump? What did they believe he was going to do considering the constant talk of deporting every non citizen?

I just looked up the activity of three of the most consistent and gleeful don ciphers. Two haven’t posted since mid March, and one hasn’t made a political post for two weeks. I guess all the big deals and family time coincidentally landed at once.

Accounts up!

All snark aside, I do wish Calla and HY would come back and share their perspective and opinions about Trump's first 75 days days in office.
