Ron Filipkowski reports on a Trump supporter who's surprised that his pro-Trump vote has now led to the decimation of his own business:

"Trump supporter Vincent Scardina is upset that ICE just grabbed a third of the workers from his roofing company in the Florida Keys for deportation. To NBC6: 'It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends - not just an employer but a friend.'"

Scardina was asked if he now regrets voting for Trump: 'Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit. I know of one landscaper that lost 9 or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.'”
