Pro-Trump Green Card Holder Was Arrested by ICE After Over 30 Years in US
Sergey Kostenyuk, a green card holder who supports President Donald Trump's immigration policies, was detained by ICE for two months. Amanda Ng, an attorney at Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, who was representing Kostenyuk, told Newsweek in an email Friday that he was released on April 23.
Kostenyuk is a vocal supporter of President Trump, with his partner, Mary Loisate, telling local NPR affiliate KUOW that he owns numerous Trump flags and posters.
What To Know
Kostenyuk came to the United States over thirty years ago, telling KUOW he arrived as a child refugee from Ukraine. He has since held a green card making him a legal permanent resident.
Loisate, who faults Trump and his immigration policies for Kostenyuk's two-month detention, says her partner was a Trump supporter, telling KUOW: "You should see his garage, there's nothing but Trump flags everywhere and posters everywhere. I took them all down out of the yard. I'm not happy about it at all."
Kostenyuk was convicted in 2018 of two felony theft charges involving a stolen television and tools that he later pawned. He pleaded guilty, was ordered to pay restitution, served six days in jail and received three years of probation, according to KUOW.
