They voted for Trump and now their son is in ICE detention
Green card holder from Argentina held in South Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center.
On a recent Sunday, El Refugio’s visitors included married couple Martin Verdi and Debora Rey, two Argentine Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status.
Verdi and Rey drove nine hours from their home in North Carolina to see their son, Agustin Gentile, who is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Stewart. They sat on El Refugio’s back porch while waiting for their visitation appointment.
“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally.
“We feel betrayed, tricked. This is craziness”
