Maurilio Ambrocio, an Evangelical Pastor and community figure in Florida, was recently detained during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation. His neighbor, Greg Johns, shares how the news rocked their rural community, revealing deep feelings of shock and betrayal given Ambrocio's dedication as a pastor and neighbor, especially evident during crises like Hurricane Milton. Despite voting for Trump and supporting tough immigration policies, Johns and others did not expect their community leader to be targeted. Ambrocio's case exemplifies the broader consequences of state-led immigration crackdowns on deeply rooted community relationships.
"Do you need propane? Do you need water? What do you need? That's the type of neighbor he is. This man is a part of the neighborhood."
"You're gonna take you know a community leader, a Pastor, a hard working man. What, did you need a number that day?"
