约翰·甘农表示，在他的未婚妻——一名来自委内瑞拉的移民——于上月被联邦移民执法人员逮捕并拘留后，他对自己投票支持特朗普总统的决定深感后悔。
现年75岁的甘农是终身共和党人，也是德克萨斯州的一名商人，他表示，自己原本与45岁的亚斯明·苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯的结婚计划被打乱了，后者于7月底在休斯顿国际机场被美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）逮捕。
“我投票给了特朗普，”他在周三接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时说道，随后批评了移民海关执法局。“他们在逮捕守法公民。他们正在摧毁家庭、毁掉工作。”
当被问及如果有机会与特朗普先生交谈，他会对总统说什么时，甘农表示他会质问总统：“你到底在做什么？”
“去追捕罪犯。我们所有人都支持这一点。但别去为难那些小商户和普通民众还有孩子们。天啊，他正在摧毁家庭，”甘农补充道。
甘农说，他和苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯原计划于7月24日从休斯顿前往拉斯维加斯参加一个家具行业展会。甘农在美国拥有超过1000个广告牌，还在墨西哥拥有多家企业，包括一家酒店和一家餐厅。
甘农表示，在通过休斯顿乔治·布什洲际机场的安检后，他的未婚妻便被便衣执法人员逮捕了。
“离开联合候机室后，八名移民海关执法局的特工一拥而上控制了亚斯明并将她拘留。（他们）没有告知我们原因，就将她强行押上了一辆车，”他回忆道。
苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯的移民律师安妮·肯尼迪也是一名终身共和党人，她表示，尽管她的当事人合法入境美国、正处于 pending 的移民案件审理中且没有犯罪记录，但还是遭到了逮捕。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻查阅的政府记录显示，苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯于2023年10月通过免签证计划合法进入美国。苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯出生在委内瑞拉，但拥有西班牙国籍，全球有40多个国家的公民可以通过这种免签证安排以游客或临时旅行者的身份前往美国。
免签证计划下的停留时间通常为90天。但文件显示，苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯在该期限到期前，于2024年1月向美国公民及移民服务局申请了庇护。目前该庇护案仍在审理中。肯尼迪表示，在此期间，她的当事人成功获得了工作许可和德克萨斯州驾照。
肯尼迪表示，如果苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯与美国公民甘农结婚，她将有途径申请美国永久居留权，即绿卡。
但据肯尼迪从移民海关执法局收到的信函显示，由于苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯在美国的合法停留权限已经过期，她被拘留以接受驱逐出境程序。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻曾多次联系国土安全部询问苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯的案件，但尚未收到回复。本周早些时候，移民海关执法局的在线在押人员追踪系统显示，她被关押在德克萨斯州康罗的蒙哥马利拘留中心。
“近两周来，她一直被关在实体监狱牢房里，而她只不过是遵守了美国的法律，做了我们移民法律允许她做的事情，”肯尼迪说道。
苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯是最近几周全美各地机场被捕的众多移民之一，这也是特朗普政府驱逐行动打击的最新战场。上个月，移民海关执法局的逮捕人数飙升至月度历史新高，部分原因就是机场逮捕行动。
与苏亚雷斯·雷耶斯一样，此次移民海关执法局机场打击行动中被捕的许多人都处于法律灰色地带：他们持有有效的工作许可，并有正在审理中的合法移民案件，但由于其身份有效期已过，仍然容易遭到逮捕。
回到德克萨斯州，甘农表示他非常想念未婚妻。
“她让我更加坚定了自己的宗教信仰，”他声音哽咽地说道。“我的意思是，亚斯明非常善良。”
Trump voter pleads for fiancée’s release after ICE arrest: “They’re destroying families”

John Gannon says he deeply regrets his decision to vote for President Trump after his fiancée, an immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents last month.
A lifelong Republican and Texas businessman, Gannon, 75, said his plans to marry 45-year-old Yasmin Suarez Reyes were derailed when she was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Houston’s international airport in late July.
“I voted for Trump,” he told CBS News during an interview Wednesday, before criticizing ICE. “They are picking up law-abiding citizens. They’re destroying families, jobs.”
Asked what he would tell Mr. Trump if given the chance to talk to him, Gannon said he would ask the president, “What are you doing?”
“Go after the criminals. We’re all for that. But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Man, he’s destroying families,” Gannon added.
Gannon said he and Suarez Reyes were planning to travel from Houston to Las Vegas on July 24 for a furniture industry convention. Gannon owns more than 1,000 billboards in the U.S. as well as several establishments in Mexico, including a hotel and a restaurant.
After going through security at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Gannon said his fiancée was arrested by agents in plainclothes.
“After leaving the United room, eight officers, ICE agents swarmed Yasmin and detained her. (They) didn’t tell us why and wrestled her off into a car,” he recounted.
Anne Kennedy, Suarez Reyes’ immigration attorney and another lifelong Republican, said her client was arrested despite entering the U.S. legally, having a pending immigration case and lacking a criminal record.

Government records reviewed by CBS News show Suarez Reyes entered the U.S. legally in October 2023 under the Visa Waiver Program. While Suarez Reyes was born in Venezuela, she holds citizenship in Spain, one of the more than 40 countries whose citizens are eligible to come to the U.S. as tourists or temporary travelers under the visa-free arrangement.
Stays under the Visa Waiver Program generally last for 90 days. But Suarez Reyes applied for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in January 2024, before that timeframe lapsed, documents show. That asylum case remains pending. Kennedy said her client was able to get a work permit and a Texas driver’s license in the meantime.
Kennedy said Suarez Reyes would also have an avenue to apply for permanent U.S. residency, or a green card, if she were able to marry Gannon, an American citizen.
But because her underlying permission to be in the U.S. expired, Suarez Reyes was detained to be processed for deportation, according to correspondence Kennedy received from ICE.
CBS News reached out to the Department of Homeland Security multiple times to inquire about Suarez Reyes’ case, but has yet to hear back. Earlier this week, ICE’s online detainee tracking system indicated she was being held at the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas.
“For almost two weeks now, she has been in a physical jail cell, when she has done nothing more than follow the laws of the United States and do what our immigration laws allow her to do,” Kennedy said.
Suarez Reyes is one of many immigrants arrested in recent weeks at airports across the country as part of the latest front in the Trump administration’s deportation crackdown. Last month, ICE arrests soared to a record monthly high, in part driven by the airport arrests.
Like Suarez Reyes, many of those arrested as part of ICE’s airport crackdown are in a legal gray area, holding valid work permits and having legal immigration cases pending but still being vulnerable to arrest given the expiration of their status.
Back in Texas, Gannon said he misses his fiancée dearly.
“She’s focused me more on my religious path,” he said, his voice breaking. “I mean, Yasmin’s good as gold.”
