Ahhhhhh bu-bye.

““I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”

Have the day you voted (illegally) for.

He can still love Trump from Mexico. Love knows no bounds.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

unfortunately, many people do love him from outside the US

[–] rockandsock@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I hope they keep loving him from afar. We don't need more pedo defenders here. Or more people encouraging fascism or religious rule.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The problem there is a lot of the lovers in other countries are trying to get their own Trump and spread the fascism.

[–] rockandsock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They can have ours. Why settle for a cheap copy when you can have the original.

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, no. Your country broadcast this nonsense. You infected these... individuals of limited wit and wisdom... with his cult rhetoric. You broke them, you bought them. /s

[–] rockandsock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I would like a refund! I have the receipt.

[–] ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The Australian media are deeply in love with Trump.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago

Ha ha ha ha ha, loser. Have the day you voted for.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago

On one hand I'm sympathetic to people who were misled about their citizenship status. On the other hand, he did vote to be deported

"What kind of America is it where government behavior would tear a good man away from his family, his community and his cattle, leaving no one here for them? It's not the America I grew up in."

The America this guy voted for. Hope he enjoys prison and Mexico, since that is what he has been voting for.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Lol who says he's going back to Mexico and not el Salvador?

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

A recent profile of Ceballos, published in The Wichita Eagle by Roy Wenzl, explained that the 54-year-old did not realize that his status as a Mexican immigrant made him ineligible to vote in any U.S. election, despite having been casting ballots since 1991.

ELI5: How is it possible to vote without being eligible to vote!?

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

20+ upvotes so far, without a single serious explanation of how someone who isn't eligible to vote would be able to vote anyway. I call bullshit on that claim.

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It's fucking Kansas. They didn't bother checking.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 days ago

if you are "other," then it doesn't matter how pathetically loyal and bootlicky you are--you're the same as all "other," and trump wants you gone

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 15 points 2 days ago

...I guess some illegal immigrants do vote after all.

Huh.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 days ago

Eat shit, cunt

Why is it unfair that it's happening to you and not unfair when it's happening to thousands of innocent immigrants?

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Hah Trump throws anyone 'close' to him under the bus for $1, how can these people not see it clearly? Unless you're actively gargling his marbles you go under the bus, if you are he may wait until you're done then discard you.

People are nothing to him if they aren't giving him money or power. Really rabdom people probably don't register like a person would to you or me, most people are just objects that he deals with to get more money. If you aren't giving him money then you don't get to be acknowledged. Till you're famous and say something bad then that sets off his safe space security alarm, hah like that South Park episode.

“His friends and high school teacher worry they're partly to blame.” — They shouldn’t worry; they should accept that they are partly to blame.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

so this is the voter fraud they were talking about?

no, seriously, how come this guy kept getting the chance to vote without being told they weren't being counted? (I mean I assume they weren't counted)

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

the possibility of being deported

Is there any indication that ICE is moving to deport him? Or is this pure speculation coming out of the voter fraud charges, where he worked on behalf of Republicans to juice their numbers?

I'd predict he gets a presidential pardon before he gets deported.

Also appears to be old news, as he was indicted back in December. No indication to date that he's been moved to a detention center or threatened with deportation.

@homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world provided a more in depth article: https://www.kcur.org/politics-elections-and-government/2025-11-29/coldwater-mayor-voter-fraud-deportation-ceballos-kansas-attorney-general

DHS said, if he's found guilty, they'd start removal procedures. Of course, wouldn't be out of character for them to do it, anyway, even if he's not convicted.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

DHS said, if he’s found guilty, they’d start removal procedures.

Why wait? They've never dragged their heels like this before

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

If I were to wager a guess (and IANL, etc.), he'd need to've committed a crime since he has a permanent resident green card? Not that I wouldn't put it past them to try it, anyway. Though it probably makes for a much more effective propaganda message of, "See; these people are illegally voting and that's why we have to remove them," (just don't look to closely at who he's been voting for).

Ultimately – though –, I dunno; I just know that's what DHS said, according to the article.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Mmmm. Yes. Give me more of this.

🎵 The leopards on your face go chomp chomp chomp! 🎵

Violent rapist criminal alien says what? Sorry, I can't understand this Mexican gibberish.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

this one's kinda wild. He's been registered to vote since the 90s, but he never should have been registered in the first place cuz he's a permanent legal resident (not a full citizen), which means he also should never have been eligible to run for office. No one ever really checked I guess? Apparently his special education teacher took their class to the County Clerk's office and they registered everyone to vote.

https://www.kansas.com/news/state/article313143711.html has more info. I guess this is what happens when you just blindly vote without knowing anything about the candidates or the party.
