    Title is very misleading. Makes it sound like the husband instigated it, when that’s nowhere in the article.

    Meanwhile, Donna’s husband, Jim, was doing everything he could think of to get her released.

    These days, she senses an awkwardness with some friends. They’re sorry for what happened to her but still support the administration’s efforts

    Those friends are assholes.

      When Donna was detained, Jim wrote to every member of Missouri’s congressional delegation. He struck out, but then help came from an unexpected place: Rep. Seth Magaziner, a Democrat who represents Rhode Island. Magaziner brought Jim to Washington to speak at a panel on Trump’s immigration crackdown. At the event, Jim was asked why he had voted for Trump. He paused. “Because I was an idiot,” he answered.

      Yeah I don’t think he will be.
