An Irish grandmother who has lived in the US for most of her life and holds a green card is facing deportation because she wrote a bad cheque for $25 in 2015.
Donna Hughes-Brown, 58, was detained in July after landing in Chicago on a flight from Dublin and is being held in isolation in a detention centre in Kentucky. She has lived in the US since 1977, has five children and grandchildren, and ran a horse farm in Troy, Missouri.
Her husband, Jim Brown, a US citizen and military veteran, told reporters his wife was not a criminal and that he “100%” regretted voting for Donald Trump as president.
What is with the excessive backbending to always make white women the victim?
It’s infantalizing and sexist.
She’s a 58 year old adult woman who has been married for decades, but you think she was just too fucking stupid to realize her husband is an asshole till now?
Like, you just can’t imagine a white woman living in America married to a trump supporter is also a racist piece of shit trump supporter?
55% of white women voted trump in 2025, more than a few understood what they were voting for
This.
It’s the whole idea of “Leopards ate my face.”
They voted for Leopards, knowing the plan was to eat faces, but never imagined that the Leopard would actually eat their face.
It’s always fine as long as it happens to someone else. If the wrong type of person makes a mistake, it’s unforgivable and they deserve it, but if I make a mistake, I obviously had a good reason and the Leopards will know that.
