Yasmin Suarez Reyes, a Venezuelan-born Spanish citizen, remains in ICE custody in Texas after her arrest at Houston airport while travelling with her American fiancé. Businessman John Gannon, a lifelong Republican, says he regrets voting for Donald Trump, alleging plainclothes agents detained her without explanation. She entered the US legally in October 2023 under the Visa Waiver Program and applied for asylum in January 2024. ICE says her authorised stay had expired. Her lawyer argues she obtained a work permit and driver's licence while her case was pending. The Department of Homeland Security publicly warned others against following her example.
