Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, check this out. I really want to bring some attention to this article from the New York Times and to the story of Carol. Now, this article is not very long. It flew under the radar, and I'll link it in the description below. But I want to provide some commentary because it is a perfect illustration of just the journey a town goes on when they face the consequences of their vote. It's titled, A Missouri Town was solidly behind Trump. Then Carol was detained. And this is a story that we've sort of revisited, at least the theme of this.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I mean, read this post from Jake Cowen. This was posted on Facebook. He lives in Florida. There was a bus that happened today. He posted, lost a lot of good men today. I like Trump, but this isn't what I voted for. This will absolutely kill the economy in construction. I thought he was going after gang members and criminals with warrants.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Not hardworking guys. He's going after hardworking guys, hardworking women. He's going after children with cancer. He's going after old people who have been here for decades. And a lot of the time with no due process, here's a thing. If there's a criminal in the country who came here illegally and refuses to stop committing crimes, sure, deport them with due process, of course, but that's not what happening. But that's not what's happening. We are seeing students that are going to Harvard getting their visa stripped away, students that go to Columbia getting their visa stripped away from making a post on social media when they were studying to be a doctor or a lawyer.
Starting point is 00:01:23 We're seeing the smartest of students. we're seeing the sickest of kids all being deported with no due process, and it's absolutely absurd. It brings me to this story. For 20 years, Carol Hui had served waffles, raised her children, and embraced a small town of Kennet, Missouri. Her detention and pending deportation has hit the entire community hard. This is a close-knit town that has gone through a journey together, and I want to know what you guys think. Let's talk about this. It'll be a quick read. Let's start here. The first sign of trouble came early this month when Carol didn't show up for her shift. at Johns Waffle and Pancake House.
Starting point is 00:01:57 She was a very reliable worker. She lived in a conservative farming hub of 10,000 people in the state's southeastern boot heel. In the 20 years since she arrived from Hong Kong, she had built a life and a family in Kennet, with the town with 10,000 people, working two waitressing jobs and cleaning houses on the side. She began every morning at the bustling diner.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Quote, everyone knows Carol, said Lisa Dry, a Kennet City Councilwoman. It sounds like a town where everybody knows everybody. That all ended on April 30th, when federal immigration officials summoned Carol 45, whose legal name is Ming Li Hui, to their office in St. Louis, a three-hour drive from Kennan.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Her partner, a Guatemalan immigrant, had voiced suspicion about the sudden call. But, quote, I didn't want to run, Ms. Hui said in a jailhouse phone interview. I just wanted to do the right thing. This sentence hits hard. She said in a jailhouse phone interview. And this photo above, you can see,
Starting point is 00:02:51 was taken. I believe during the same conversation. But to continue, she was arrested in jail to await deportation. Ms. Swee's detention has forced a rural Missouri county to face the fallout of President Trump's immigration crackdown, which was supported in theory by many residents in this Trump-loving corner of an increasingly red America. What did they think it looked like? When Trump said he was going to deport 21 million immigrants, what did they think this looked like?
Starting point is 00:03:18 Really quickly, if you made it this far in the video, drop a like and watch till the end. That's the best way you can help boost this story in this video. as a whole. But we said during the campaign cycle, 100 times, hundreds of times that there are multiple problems with deporting 21 million illegal immigrants. Number one, there aren't even 21 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Number two, how are you going to do that without accidentally deporting American citizens or deporting people with no due process or deporting people who belong to be here? Number three, how are you going to do that without tanking the economy? You can't. And how are you do that without violence? There are so many reasons why it's impractical,
Starting point is 00:03:52 but I guess they don't care. This is John's Waffle and Pancake House where Ms. We worked holding a Carol Day fundraiser that brought in nearly $20,000. Quote, this lady has the biggest heart in the whole world, the owner said, of Ms. Wee. And she's sitting in a detention center. This is not what America should be.
Starting point is 00:04:11 This is absolutely fucked up. Trump Vance, obviously. Ms. Swee's arrest has forced a rural Missouri county where President Trump won 80% of the votes to force the reality of the immigration crackdown. And this is a house in the county. I mean, what do you do when you voted Trump, I mean, to the people in this town,
Starting point is 00:04:30 and you know somebody very, very closely that is a great, sweet, hardworking person. You know them for a decade, and then you see them being held in an attention center. But to continue, this is where it gets wild. Many are now asking how you can support Carol and also Mr. Trump. Hey, I just asked that. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Quote, I voted for Donald Trump. And so did practically everyone here, said Vanessa Coward, a friend of Miss Wee from the church. but no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression. We were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here and droves. They really mean, like, brown people.
Starting point is 00:05:00 What do you mean you weren't going to deport moms? Of course, if you're deporting people, they're going to be moms, dads, dads, sons. They're always going to be, like, a family member. It just shows that somewhere deep down they have this dehumanizing view, I feel like. She paused, quote, this is Carol.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Adam Squires, a one-time candidate for the mayor of Kennet, saw it differently. He did not bear, any ill will for Ms. Hui, he said. But he voted for Trump, as did 80% of voters in Dunklin County, and was glad to see the deportation campaign reach home. What the hell, Adam Squires? Ashamed to share the name, but, quote,
Starting point is 00:05:35 they vote for Trump, and then they get mad because the stuff starts happening. He said of his neighbors, we've got to get rid of all the illegals. This is just to start. Why? This is somebody who helped make the economy more productive. Ms. Wee said the call she received from immigration authorities ordered her to appear in St. Louis without any explanation.
Starting point is 00:05:53 At the office, she said, an immigration officer called her into a secure area and initially told her the authorities would help her get a passport. Then, she was told that she was being detained for overstaying a tourist visa that expired long ago and that she would be deported. Now, as Ms. Hui bounces from county jail to county jail, her name is popped up on prayer lists at local churches in Kenet, Missouri. Her absence was felt, residents said. As local, when she was not at the baseball stands, to walk,
Starting point is 00:06:19 her younger son pitch nor at the eighth grade graduation to see her older son receive an agricultural science award she's got a family and she is being deported no one voted to deport mom said vanessa coward and then she takes a photo a dramatic photo she voted for trump she voted for this miss cowart was her religious sponsor when miss we converted to catholicism earlier this year learning the gospels from her chinese bible she became regular at sunday morning mass as was her partner and their three American-born children. A daughter, seven, and two sons, 12, and 14. Miss Wee was keenly interested in early Christian martyrs, Ms. Coward said.
Starting point is 00:06:56 She'd smile and say, God will take care of us. According to the government, Wisswee does not have a blameless past. In court records, the government said she arrived in the United States from Hong Kong in February of 2004 and paid an American citizen $2,000 to enter a sham marriage with her sometime around 2005. She had hoped the marriage would allow her to get permanent resident status and permitted her travel to Hong Kong to see her dying grandmother and return to the United States afterwards,
Starting point is 00:07:20 according to court records. What a monster. She paid someone $2,000 20 years ago to get the status to see her dying grandmother. What a monster. Obviously, I'm joking, but her lawyer, Raymond Belarchi, said Miss Wee was young and desperate in those days, and she acknowledged that her actions were wrong. Yeah, I mean, I buy it. I buy it.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'm sorry, but maybe I'm a bleeding heart liberal, but I buy it. buy it. Nonetheless, she was working with people who enters tourists and are usually not allowed to. Celine Horton, a waitress at a local steakhouse, said she and Ms. We would give each other huge tips when they ate at one another restaurants. Miss Wee is the reason for the almost, almost everything that Trump is doing. Quote, I can't believe they're doing this to her. They're doing this just to bump up their numbers. Stephen Miller and Tom Homan want to maximize the amount of numbers I can post on Instagram, and it's at the expense of people like miswee. It's the expense of people like Kilmar,
Starting point is 00:08:17 Amando Obrigo Garcia. It is absolutely sick, and it's terrible. This sentiment reflects stirring unease nationally over Mr. Trump's handling of immigration, his most potent political issue. Though most Americans in a recent New York Times Sienna College survey said they still supported deporting undocumented
Starting point is 00:08:33 immigrants, a majority of respondents disapproved at how Mr. Trump was carrying out his immigration policies. It's the same thing as like people say they want the government to be more efficient, but they don't like the way Elon Musk and Doge, are going about that because they're not going about that. They're making the government more efficient for Elon Musk himself.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I'm going to leave it at that. If you appreciate these breakdowns, make sure you drop a like, make sure you subscribe. This article will be in the description below if you want to share it around. Let's bring some attention to it. Love you all and peace out.
