The author is right.
The slightly more likely outcome is that Trump gets wind that Ceballos was a staunch Republican voter and, more importantly, a Trump voter/supporter, and will figure out a way to not enforce the deportation order that, by all rights, should be carried out based on all the things that this administration has said about illegal immigrants and its plans for them.
My bet is that this will go away because he’s “one of the good ones.”
No one in the town will see the irony, they’ll just keep voting (illegally, in some cases) for morons.
This administration is still trying to deport Kilmar Garcia but they’ll find a way to quickly forgive the guy who voted for them.
