Not only did he vote as an illegal immigrant, he was also elected as a Mayor.
This did not happen in California. It happened here in Kansas.
He voted for Trump in all three of his campaigns. A Trump supporter. He was a legally protected citizen, not a criminal.
He is now facing deportation. An illegal immigrant was elected to office as a Republican. The citizens of his town vote for Trump and AG Kobach, the right-wing fanatic who is working on his deportation.
Coldwater residents have learned a valuable lesson: Actions have consequences.
Their town’s mayor, Joe Ceballos, has been charged with felony voter fraud by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. Ceballos appears to have registered and cast ballots in multiple elections, despite not being a citizen. While you might expect townsfolk to support the prosecution, that’s not the situation at all.
Indeed, a remarkable profile of Ceballos by veteran Kansas journalist Roy Wenzl shows a town shocked that such a good guy — “He’s more American than I am,” a friend said — would be charged. He’s a die-hard Republican in a place full of them. More than 83% of ≈ voters picked Donald Trump for president last year. More than 78% appear to have chosen Kobach in 2022.
“If deportation happens, I can tell you that Kobach will have trouble showing up here, especially if he asks to stay with us for a while,” said Dennis Swayze, a rancher who mentored Ceballos.

A Kansas town chose cruelty. Now it mourns as the mayor faces voter fraud charge and deportation.
