A Cuban-American woman who voted for Donald Trump now feels betrayed after her husband was deported despite the president initially promising he would "only deport criminals."

Alían Méndez Aguilar emigrated from Cuba to the U.S. in 2019. Although a deportation order was issued the following year, he was allowed to remain in the country because Cuba refused to accept his return. After a 90-day detention period, he was released under supervision, according to reporting by CiberCuba.
