One Trump voter issued a tear-filled video regretting his decision to vote for the president after his brother, who served with U.S. special forces, died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In a video posted to social media, Naseer Paktyawal tearfully recalled his brother’s service to the country and the moment that ICE “kidnapped” him in front of his son, Imrin. ABC News initially posted the video.

“I saw two cars unmarked. Seven, eight people jump out of those cars,” Paktyawal said. “One on the driver’s side, one on the back of his car, and grabbed him from his seat and put a handcuff on him.”

Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal’s son, Imrin, was also featured in the video and recalled witnessing his father’s arrest. “I was standing there, and then they came and just take him,” the boy said.

Imrin added that he was “standing there” as the agents hauled his father away. “I was like, just don’t take him, please,” Imrin recalled.

According to Paktyawal, he later received a call from an ICE facility. “I thought they were going to release him back,” Imrin said.

“He said, ‘Are you, Naseer?’ That’s me,” Paktyawal said. “Your brother Mohamed Nasir Paktyawal passed away this morning and his body is laying down in a parking lot in the hospital.”

“My first vote was for this president, and I regret it, and I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life,” he added. “Because of me, because of my voting, He got arrested, and he lost his life. And I’m never going to forgive myself for that.”

CNN reported that he was taken by ICE agents outside of his Dallas apartment and died less than a day after being in ICE custody. His family said that Mohammad had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum in the U.S. since his arrival in 2021.

    I wonder how much the “manosphere” influenced their vote for the pedophile-in-chief.

    I mean, did these people not see all the Karens with their “Mass Deportation Now” and “Send Them Back” signs?

    What did they think those signs were about, after all? Did they think these Karens were really going to make a distinction? Did they think those that are the most ecstatic about this kind of thing, like Stephen Miller, would?

      The Right Wing Propaganda machine convinced non-white cis people it was going to be violent criminals that were going to be deported.

      The racists knew it was going to be everyone.

      Loomer said “54 million out” or something like that, that’s not just illegals, that’s every Latino in the country, citizen or not.

        I think Loomer has brain damage or something, but Jigsaw should probably know that if they were to actually go that hard, that Jews would be targeted by that point.

        They almost always do. Doesn’t matter if she considers herself one of the “good ones”.
