Trump supporter in ICE custody, was better off under Biden, was on cusp of legal status. Trump voting husband is felon

..and Biden administration wouldn't be celebrating her, or anyone's, deportation on X. Kristi Noem is trashing her on X despite knowing she and her stupid husband supported Trump. She is just another ,"illegal" to Trump despite being White..maybe she thought her skin color made her different


And her shady husband voted to hurt others when he had a criminal past


DHS defends arrest of Canadian woman; deportation looms

Olivera, who has no criminal record, said she was caught off guard when ICE arrested her last month at her green card interview in Chatsworth, Calif.

The mother believed she was finally going to obtain legal status. She got her work permit and Social Security card under the Biden administration and had applied for a waiver to mitigate the 1999 removal order.

Olivera said she never thought ICE would deport her and fully supported Trump’s plan to go after violent offenders who were in the U.S. illegally like Jose Ibarra, who was convicted of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley.

“I supported him based on violent criminals, like violent criminals like the gentleman that killed that young lady. Yes, 100% I did agree with that.”

Her husband Francisco Olvera, a U.S. citizen, told Team 10 he voted for Trump, which is now a decision he regrets.


‘I want my vote back’: Trump-voting family stunned after Canadian mother detained by Ice | US immigration | The Guardian

By 1999, when she was about 19, US immigration officials at the Buffalo border crossing had determined Olivera was living in the country without legal status and obtained an expedited order to deport her. But, after being removed, she was able to return to the US by driving to San Diego from Mexico within a few months.

“They didn’t ask me for my citizenship – they didn’t do nothing,” Olivera would later say to KGTV. “They just waved me in.”

She recounted spending the next 25 years working in Los Angeles, paying taxes and providing for her family. KGTV reported that its investigative team scoured California and federal court databases, but the unit found no criminal charges under Cynthia Olivera’s name.

In 2024, toward the end of his presidency, Joe Biden’s administration granted her a permit allowing her to work legally in the US. She had also been navigating the process to obtain legal permanent US residency, colloquially referred to as a green card, for years.

Nonetheless, instead of supporting the candidate Biden endorsed to succeed him, then vice-president Kamala Harris, Olivera’s husband supported Trump in last November’s White House election. He told KGTV that Trump’s promises to deport criminals en masse – despite his own May 2024 conviction of felony falsification of business records – appealed to both Francisco and Cynthia. And, echoing other mixed immigration status families who have had members affected by Trump’s policies, the Oliveras did not believe she would be hurt by her lack of legal US residency.

To Stephen Miller, the Jewish Nazi and all around hater of any immigrant...she is a violent criminal! The problem was that she and her husband were using their definition of the term "violent criminal", not the definition that Trump and Miller have!

Oh well, live and learn. By the way fuck her and her husband...
