Trump Voter’s Wife Detained by ICE, and He Still Defends Trump

Trump Voter’s Wife Detained by ICE, and He Still Defends Trump

Author: TJ Walker August 17, 2026 Duration: 33:27

A three-time Donald Trump voter is stunned after his Russian-born wife, who has a pending green-card case and no criminal history, is detained by immigration authorities. But even as Trump’s immigration policies hit his own family, he continues defending the president and insisting his wife entered through Trump’s “beautiful big front door.”

TJ Walker examines the personal consequences of hard-line immigration enforcement and the extraordinary loyalty Trump continues to receive from supporters directly affected by his policies.
