Canadian National Who Died In ICE Custody Was Big Donald Trump Fan -- Wonkette

Doubtful that his comrades will mourn him.

On Monday afternoon, around 1 p.m., Johnny Noviello, a Canadian citizen living in Florida, died in ICE custody, and the Canadian government is demanding answers.

Noviello, 49, came to the United States legally in 1988, and in 1991 was granted permanent legal resident status. In 2017, Noviello and his father were convicted in Volusia County, Florida, of racketeering and selling drugs, including hydrocodone and oxycodone, and he was sentenced to 12 months in prison (of which he served 125 days before being released for good behavior). He was checking in at the probation office when he was arrested by ICE and put in detention pending removal proceedings for having violated US drug laws.

He is the eighth person to die in ICE custody so far this year.

I couldn’t tell you what made a non-citizen with a history of drug offenses think that Donald Trump was his guy. Maybe he thought because he was white, because he was Canadian and not Mexican, that he was conservative, that he’d get a pass. He cheered for Donald Trump because he thought it would be other people getting hauled away to these detention centers and not him. Clearly, he was wrong.

Selfish people, mean people, people with resentments, people looking to make it big... it's not a surprise that they all love Trump.

7. I think the crooks (including this regime) know this, but they hope they can get away long enough
