Summary
A Trump voter in Ohio said he has regretted his 2024 vote for the past two years, accusing the president of looking out for himself while ordinary supporters are left behind.
In Texas, businessman John Gannon told CBS News the administration is "destroying families, jobs" after ICE agents detained his fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, at an airport despite her pending immigration case and no criminal record.
ICE told the couple her permission to remain in the U.S. had expired and she will be deported; their attorney said she entered legally and could have qualified for a green card through marriage.
Other voters cited broader economic strain, with one Los Angeles supporter saying "everything's going up" and an Ohio woman urging Trump to think about "little people instead of the rich people."
