This N.J. Trump voter's husband was detained by ICE: 'I thought they'd focus on criminals.'

Abdellatif Hafraoui sits at a small dining table in the Bayonne apartment he shares with his wife, Sandra, sipping his morning coffee — a ritual unchanged over their 15 years of marriage.

Since August, however, that routine has been shadowed by months in ICE detention and the black ankle monitor now strapped around his leg.

“To think we were MAGA!,” Sandra proclaimed. The couple even attended a Trump rally in Las Vegas in 2020.

Sandra voted for President Trump three times, believing enforcement would focus on people with criminal records — not individuals like her husband.
