In the run-up to last year‘s election, [Martin Verdi and Debora Rey] said they remembered Trump speaking about people like Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan man with no lawful status in the country who was convicted of the murder of nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus.

“During the campaign he gave the example of many criminals from Venezuela who had come in, because many criminals from Venezuela had even killed people. That has nothing to with cases like these,” Verdi said.

The couple said they “of course” would not have voted for Trump had they realized what the scale of the immigration crackdown was going to be.

    Even immigrants who have become naturalized citizens are worrying needlessly about their ability to leave and get back into the country, according to [immigration attorney Charles] Kuck.

    “I had a U.S. citizen come in this last week. She was literally in tears. She wanted to go to the wedding of a very dear family member,” Kuck said. “She’s been a citizen for 25 years, never convicted of anything. She was crying in my office.”

    needlessly

    I do not think that word means what you think it means, Chuck. That woman knows what’s up and is right to worry.
