Trump and MAGA aren’t just going after undocumented immigrants, the Muslims, the Black folks in the urban cities, the Latinos, the LGBTQ+, and the poor. They’re coming for everyone, including attractive, white, Canadian actresses, and U.S. citizens."

![Initially, Reyes Barrios was placed in maximum security at Otay Mesa & accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member. The accusation is based on 2 things.
