A New Jersey couple who steadfastly backed President Donald Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda said they’ve now turned against him after becoming ensnared in his crackdown on immigrants.

Abdellatif Hafraoui, of Bayonne, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Newark Liberty International Airport last August as he and his wife, Sandra Hafraoui, were heading to Florida on vacation. Over the course of 108 days, the 60-year-old said, he was moved from New Jersey’s Delaney Hall Detention Facility to Louisiana and later Arizona before being released on $15,000 bond.

In an interview with NJ.com, Sandra Hafraoui said she voted for Trump in the past three elections, and that she and Abdellatif Hafraoui attended one of the president’s rallies in Las Vegas.

She believed the president would focus on deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records and not people like her husband, who moved to the U.S. from Morocco at age 22 and has lived stateside for 38 years.

“To think we were MAGA!” she told the outlet. When asked as to what she might say to Trump now, she added: “You said you were going after the worst of the worst, but instead you ruined our life.”

According to Abdellatif Hafraoui, he was targeted by ICE because of a missed immigration court date over a decade ago, prior to his marriage to Sandra Hafraoui. At the time, he’d hired New York attorney Earl Seth David to file naturalization paperwork on his behalf.

David, he said, failed to notify him of his scheduled hearing, and a deportation order was issued in absentia. In 2013, David was sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of operating a massive immigration fraud scheme.

Since his Nov. 26 release, Abdellatif Hafraoui has been unable to return to his job as a concierge at a New York residential building. He must also attend regular ICE check-ins and wear an electronic ankle bracelet.

“I would like to go back to work, to feel normal again,” he told NJ.com. “To have my life back without all this fear and uncertainty.”

HuffPost contacted the Department of Homeland Security about the Hafraouis but did not immediately hear back.

Trump came into office last year pledging to enact the largest mass deportation in U.S history. In December, DHS reported there had been more than 605,000 deportations, while around 1.9 million people had self-deported.

Backlash to the president’s decision to order ICE officers into U.S. cities has intensified following the fatal shootings in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.

Last month, a high-ranking Catholic leader and prominent ally to Pope Leo XIV who has led Mass inside Delaney Hall ― where Abdellatif Hafraoui was first detained ― issued a strongly worded condemnation of ICE while encouraging more people of faith to speak out against it.

“We mourn for a world, a country that allows 5-year-olds to be legally kidnapped and protesters to be slaughtered,” Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark said in an online prayer service.
