Conservative Politician Backed Trump. Then ICE Took Her Son. - The Logical Leftist



A conservative Colombian congresswoman who backed Trump’s hardline immigration agenda is now watching ICE detain her own son. He had a work permit, a Social Security number, no criminal record, and a scheduled asylum hearing — and ICE still locked him up in chains for weeks in the U.S. detention system.

In this video I break down how this happened, what it says about Trump’s deportation machine, and why status and loyalty don’t protect you from a system built on quotas, private detention, and fear. This isn’t a “mistake” or one rogue agent. It’s how the immigration state works when you empower it and tell it to be as cruel as possible.

We’ll look at the details of this case, the conditions she says her son faced, and how Trump’s “law and order” agenda keeps turning on the very conservatives who cheered it on. If you still think deportation crackdowns only hit “bad people,” this story should destroy that illusion.

She did it to her own son. She will need to live with that for the rest of her life is she has any self-realization at all.
