    A town that fully supported trump and never thought this would happen to them. They are quickly realizing it is, and they are having a change of heart, right?

    “It’s about these kids and how these kids were treated. Yes, that really is political. Obviously, this is the administration’s policy on immigration, but I don’t think this is the time or place,” Decillis said. “This community wants these kids back. That’s what we’re trying to support.”
