 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported.

TRUMP SUPPORTER SAYS HE WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN AFTER FIANCÉE IS DETAINED BY ICE AT HOUSTON AIRPORT. (PHOTO).


 Trump supporter says he will not vote for him again after fiancée is detained by ICE at Houston airport


A Texas businessman who supported Donald Trump in the last election says he no longer plans to vote for the president after his fiancée was detained by U.S. immigration authorities.


John Gannon, 75, told CBS News that eight Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained his fiancée, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, 45, at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on July 24.


Gannon said the couple were preparing to fly to Las Vegas when plainclothes officers took Suarez Reyes away. She was born in Venezuela and is a Spanish citizen.


Gannon, who owns businesses in the U.S. and Mexico, said he was surprised by the detention and described himself as a law-abiding taxpayer who had previously supported Trump.


“I voted for Trump,” he told CBS News, but said the experience had changed his view of the administration. He said he would not vote for Trump again.


The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Suarez Reyes’ arrest to PEOPLE, saying she had legally entered the U.S. in October 2023 but overstayed after her admission expired in January 2024.


The department said pending applications do not provide legal status and that her immigration claims would be considered by a Justice Department immigration judge with due process.


Suarez Reyes’ immigration attorney had not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
