Olivia Andre and her family filed for asylum as a unit after coming to the U.S. from the Democratic Republic of Congo in December 2022, when Andre was a minor.

They made their way to Maine, where Andre graduated high school a year and a half early, the family’s attorney said.

She was in her first year of college to become a nurse when ICE arrested the family, detaining Andre separately as an adult and sending her to Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas, where she remains today.

Andre, now 19, is still considered part of their asylum application that is under review by a federal circuit court. A federal appeals court has blocked the family’s deportation — a ruling that includes Andre — for now as it reviews their asylum case, a process that could take months or longer, the attorney said.

A DHS spokesperson said the family had received “full due process” and that the family “have been released from ICE custody pending their removal from the U.S.”

“DHS is working rapidly and overtime to remove these aliens from detention centers to their final destination — home,” the spokesperson said. “The facts are Olivia Mabiala Andre is an adult illegal alien with a final order of removal and no right to remain in the U.S.”

BREAKING: Trump calls your healthcare "boring" and "medical crap" in a jaw-dropping moment of brutal honesty.

He truly doesn't give a sh*t about any of us.

This is a hell of a message going into the midterm elections...

"We're strongly protecting Social Security and Medicare, and we always will," Trump said during a visit to The Villages, a massive retirement community in Florida that heavily leans Republican.

"We have a man here who knows more about Medicaid, Medicare, medical crap than any human being," Trump continued. "Where's Dr. Oz? Where the hell are you? Stand up. He's great."

"This is the most boring trip I've ever made," admitted Trump. "He's telling me about Medicare, Medicaid. All I want to do is take care of you. I don't care. I said, 'you work out the details.' But I did say, give them the max. That's all I care about. Give them whatever the hell the max is."

This is the President of the United States admitting that he can't be bothered to work out the details of healthcare because he finds it too boring. This is the single most important issue for countless Americans, and Trump couldn't care less.

There are two issues at play here.

The first is that Trump is completely out of touch with real people. He's been insulated by gross, ill-gotten wealth for his entire life. This is a man who received at least $413 million from his corrupt father. He's never had to worry about the cost of hospital bills for himself or someone he loves (if such a monster is even capable of love).

The second issue is that Trump is a deeply stupid, incurious man. His aides can't show him montages of people receiving dialysis treatment or chemotherapy the way that they show him montages of bombs exploding in Iran, so the issue of healthcare bores him. He has neither the raw intellect nor the patience to understand this issue.

Trump has been promising a replacement for the Affordable Care Act since his first term as president. Infamously, he stated during the 2024 campaign that he has "concepts of a plan" for healthcare. Now, he's dropped even that lie.

In reality, he got into office and immediately slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid funding with his "big, beautiful bill." He doesn't care if you suffer and die and he's done pretending otherwise.

What do you think America? Do YOU care about your healthcare?

Please ❤️ and share if you can't wait to vote blue!
