A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.
For 20 years, Carol Hui has served waffles, raised her children and embraced the small town of Kennett, Mo. Her detention and pending deportation to Hong Kong has hit the community hard.
Hasnain says:
“Ms. Hui said that being separated from her family was the hardest part. Her 14-year-old son was upset that she missed his middle-school graduation. Her daughter told her that one of her school friends offered to adopt Ms. Hui, so she could stay in the country.
During one call, her children tried to cheer up Ms. Hui by telling her about “Carol Day.” She said she was stunned to learn about the outpouring of support.
“I didn’t know they loved me,” she said.”
