The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency – and began working to expel her from the country.

There have been others in similar situations (Trump supporters whose spouses were ~~kidnapped~~ "arrested" by ICE), and they still claimed to support him so I don't think it's going to help. These idiots are conditioned to be sycophants to bullies from early on in their childhood, and on some deeply subconscious level they're just trying to guess what they have to do to please the head bully in their lives in order to have any chance of getting what they want for themselves.

That's why it's so irrational - what passes for their "thinking processes" are actually those of a wildly panicking child just trying to come up with whatever they can that will help them escape the wrath of their tormentor. It's all so ingrained since their youth that they've long since forgotten why they "think" the way they do. So they continue kissing Trump's ass in the hopes it'll molify him enough let them be.
