For months now, we have been discussing how the Trump administration factually deported a victim and witness of Jeffrey's operation who happens to share a child with a man named Paul and Pulley who is in our current administration. If you're not caught up on this story, I will be doing a very brief overview before we dive into the contents of this video and this article. You can get caught up going to my Substack, my YouTube, or my TikTok.
As you guys know, I have recently connected with Amanda and she has been able to share a lot of information with me and been given a range of topics that she is allowed to speak on by her legal team. What we're going to get into in this video today is Amanda's recollection of what it was like spending three and a half months, over three and a half months in ICE detention. As someone who survived Jeffrey's operation and someone who has never been convicted of a crime in their life, I think it's very important [music] to hear how women are being treated in these facilities.
Before we jump into this, understand that everyone's attention spans are broken and that's okay. So, I will just very quickly whiz through some of the key facts to know about Amanda Angaro and Paul & Paul and Poli is the Italian modeling agent who brought Melania to the United States to meet and marry Donald Trump in the mid '90s. follow owned ID models in New York City and has been very very closely associated for decades with Donald Trump and Trump models at the time when it was a thing. John Luke Brunell's Karen Models. Amanda Angoro was originally signed to Karen Models and Jean Luke Bernell was her agent, hence why they were on Jeffrey's plane together. Then she would obviously go on to model for Apollo and they would begin their relationship when Amanda was still underage. Paul and Paul has also been closely associated with John Casablancis since he was a teenager himself. And Paulo also has long documented ties to Jeffrey Galain, Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, like the list goes on.
Paul Zimpoli and Donald Trump have basically had the exact same career path since they met in '9s. They have their modeling agencies together. They have their real estate companies together. And now in present day, Paula Zenoli is in our current administration. He is on the board of the Kennedy Center and he is a United Nations diplomat. And just to exemplify Paula Zimpoli's proximity to Jeffrey and the co-conspirators and this network. This photo right here you can see a photo of Paula Zoli and next to him is a man named Michelle Adam and he is the owner of Fashion TV. Paul has worked closely with Fashion TV and Michelle Adam for decades. Fashion TV is known for its highly explicit content. They are widely accepted at every fashion show, red carpet. They're very wellresected. But they are known to feature girls who are absolutely not 18 in outfits and situations that they absolutely should not be in. And Michelle Adam is a creep, a predator. And the DOJ released a photo, you see the white bar underneath with the number on it. They released a photo of Michelle Adam in the recent photos a couple of weeks ago back in December from the Jeffree Files. Like a guy in the administration does business with a man who is appearing in photos from the Jeffree Files. Hello.
Minoro entered modeling as a young teenager. She met John Casablancas when she was just 13 years old and then she would go on to meet Paulo Zoli when she was about 15 years old and that is when Paulo began grooming her. So she was in middle school and he was in his 30s. Eventually Paul's poly and Amanda and had a son together named Giovani and they are currently in a very messy custody battle surrounding Giovani. Amanda and Paula's romantic relationship lasted for about 19 years. Beginning when Amanda was an underage teenager and unraveling whenever Paula Zoli had an affair in Washington DC during the first Trump administration which he also was involved in. Paulo, a United Nations diplomat, got Amanda a job working as a United Nations ambassador for the Caribbean country of Granada. She worked for a total of 10 years. Amanda eventually left Paulo due to his long-term infidelity, physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. When she left, he began threatening, blackmailing, and harassing her relentlessly. Amanda arrested under very strange circumstances, which we have dove into. Go back to the other videos and articles if you want to catch up on like all the details because we've since discovered the web of corruption that has allowed Paul and Poli to utilize the federal government as a weapon against the mother of his child.
After being wrongfully arrested, Amanda Angaro was held in ICE custody for about 3 and a half months. She was not given any option for bail and was never given a court date at all. The only time Amanda ever saw a courtroom was at her initial arrest hearing before she was even transferred to a detention center. That kind of leaves us off to like present day where we are now. Amanda and I have connected. We have been talking for weeks now. She has shared everything with me. You know, we're being very respectful to the legal proceedings that she is going through to try to get justice for herself and her son. And we will only be releasing information as her legal team allows us. But she has an incredibly unique perspective of how models were systematically groomed and abused for decades. And if you're curious as to why the House Oversight Committee has not touched the entire situation surrounding Paul and Poli, I'm not going to jump to any conclusions, but I can think of a couple reasons, maybe three reasons at least, as to why it hasn't been touched.
But a couple of days ago, I was talking with Amanda and I asked her if she would be willing to answer a couple questions that I have about what her experience was like in ICE detention for over 100 days. Was more than willing to answer some questions and give some statements with approval from her attorney. So now what we're going to get into is like a Q&A style conversation between Amanda and I where she is going to answer my questions in her own words. And if I am looking away, it's because I'm going to be reading from my screen to make sure I get all of what she said correct. Okay, so this interaction took place on January 25th of 2026. These statements have been approved to be released.
So the first question that I asked Amanda was, "Overall, how did the ICE officers that you interacted with treat you?" Amanda answered this question stating, "They were rude and degrading always. They saw all of us the same and treated us like animals. The officers would scream insults at me and the other people I was detained with every single day. They were especially cruel during the night. Officers would yell at us to keep us awake. They would shine flashlights directly into our eyes when we would fall asleep. They didn't want anyone to sleep or rest, but when we were awake, they would just yell at us to shut up. Every move you make, they will find a problem with. They thought it was funny the constant state of humiliation many of us were in. We would have to beg for toilet paper. We did not have access to basic hygiene on a regular basis. When we would be allowed to shower, we would be forced to dry our bodies with tiny washcloths instead of towels simply to expose our bodies and humiliate us. Toilets didn't work most of the time and did not have a door. Everyone, including the officers, watched us use the toilets and shower. It was so embarrassing. They fed us like we were dogs, and we never had clean drinking water. They rarely let anyone access the phones, and even when they did, they told us it cost money to use the phones. Many detaininees couldn't afford to make calls, even if given the opportunity to pay. This made communication with family and attorneys very hard. They mocked and humiliated us like it was part of their job description. The GEO correctional officers were also constantly mocking and yelling at us. They were the officers who operated the detention facility, the wardens."
The second question that I asked Amanda was, "What was the detention center or centers you were held in set up like? Were you only held at one or transferred multiple times?" Amanda answered that question stating, "They were set up different, but officers all acted the same. I was thankfully only transferred to two different detention centers during my almost four months in custody. It was held in both the Broward Transitional Center and the Louisiana Ice Processing Center in Miami. I was in a cell with six people. This is a photo from 2019 of the Broward Transitional Center, so you can kind of get an idea of what like their situation looks like. But Amanda has recalled that when she was there, they were not given sheets, towels, or pillows. They were just given like a dirty blanket to sleep with. Going back to Amanda's answer, she goes on to say, "In Louisiana, we were held in a big warehouse with bunk beds. It was like a dungeon, all wet with water always leaking from somewhere onto the floor. I barely saw sunlight the entire time I was there. There were more than a hundred women who were held in the warehouse at a time. We all had to shower together, use the toilets completely exposed. There was no privacy. Here are some photos from the GEO group's website showing what this Louisiana Ice Processing Center kind of looks like on the inside so you can get an idea. Keep in mind the people who run this facility are the ones who are posting these photos. This is what it might look like in best case scenario. In best case scenario, looks pretty grim. Also, as a side note, the GEO group ran both of the ice processing centers that Amanda stayed in, and they are a for-profit prison company. You can even go on their website and become an investor. It's very dystopian."
The next question that I asked Amanda was, did you see any children at the facilities that you were held in? Amanda responded, "I didn't see little babies, but girls around 15, 16, and 17 years old were there. They are still children. saw women who needed medical assistance be put into wheelchairs by officers with their hands and feet shackled and left alone for hours. We learned to not ask for medical assistance if we needed it."
Now, this next section, obviously, I'll put it on the screen so you can see her exact words, but I'm going to have to censor the language a little bit so this doesn't get taken down. Amanda goes on to say, "There were pregnant women there. A woman who I was held with lost her baby while we were detained. She was in so much pain. She was badly. The officers ignored her. She lost her baby without medical assistance. It was a horrible situation. I saw it with my own eyes. I will never forget seeing that. It's not safe for pregnant women at any stage to not have access to a doctor, clean water, unspoiled food, and time to sleep. The stress and the manhandling alone we all faced would have been unbearable while pregnant. It was very scary because none of us knew when we were going to get out."
Next question I asked Amanda was, "Did any of the ICE officers you interacted with at any point throughout your incarceration? Know you shared a child with someone in the administration?" Amanda responded, "I tried to tell a couple of the officers my situation at the beginning. I don't think they believed me. They didn't care what any of us had to say. They had no mercy for us."
The next question that I asked Amanda was, "What was the most frightening part about your time in ICE detention?" Amanda responded, "I felt scared the whole time, especially at nighttime. The officers would routinely shine their flashlights directly into our faces when we would fall asleep and yell in our faces. Night was also scary because that's when the officers would conduct transfers. It was common to see mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, and other family members be booked in together, but they would never be together for long. The officers always separated families in the middle of the night. I will never forget what nighttime sounded like for months. The officers screaming and yelling, women crying out for mercy. I will never forget the sound. They would pull us out of our cells day and night to search us. I don't know why they did this so much. All we had were the dirty blankets they gave us to sleep with. After working for the United Nations for 10 years, I have an understanding of the importance of respecting international law. I know humiliation, inhumane treatment, intentional cruelty, and psychological abuse can be seen as forms of torture under international law. It was very scary to know that the officers didn't have to follow the law, yet we were being treated like criminals, even though many of us had never broken a law."
Next question that I asked Amanda was, "Were you able to get in touch with anyone from the United Nations or Washington DC while you were incarcerated to alert them to what was happening?" Amanda responded, "Yes, my family informed one of my friends who works in Washington DC, who I will not name at this time, that I was in a detention center and awaiting deportation. Person has a direct line to Melania Trump. I met Melania for the first time when I was 18 years old on Donald Trump's plane traveling from Miami to New York City. Paulo and I had been officially in a relationship for a little while at the time we met. When I was with Paulo, I spoke with Melania many times at White House events and parties. She and Paulo are close, and Paulo has many associates within the Slovenian government, the country where Melania is from. Despite that, I believed for a moment that because Melania had known me since I was just a teenager, if she heard the situation that I was in, she would have compassion and do something to help me. I was wrong. My friend in DC informed my family that Melania did not want to help."
The next question that I asked Amanda was, "Can you tell me a little bit about your actual deportation?" Amanda responded stating, "The deportation process was complete chaos. [music] We were all shackled by our feet and hands for the entire flight, and the whole time we were on the buses that brought us to the airplane. We sat shackled in the buses in the dark for at least 7 hours before even getting on the airplane. Both men and women packed in shoulderto-shoulder in the buses and on the flight. We could hardly move. It was awful. We rarely were allowed to shower for the months we were detained. And the smell was terrible. We were also dirty. When I arrived in Brazil, they left me with nothing. I had no phone, no money, no identification, no credit card, and no clothes other than the clothes they gave all detainees to wear. I left Brazil over 20 years ago to follow my dreams to become a model. I was swept into a nightmare of terrible men, including the father of my child, Paulo Zoli. My punishment for breaking free from Paulo and his cycle of abuse came with the full weight of the United States government, and that is wrong. I left Brazil with dreams and I returned to Brazil stripped of everything, even my dignity. They did not understand that when they took everything away from me, including my child, I had nothing else to lose. And that gave me the strength to fight. And that's why I'm speaking now, and I will not stop speaking. There is a clear systematic pattern of abuse happening in the United States. Wherever I is, wherever I is, people are unsafe."
Amanda's story exemplifies how this could literally happen to anybody. Amanda's legal status did not matter. Her proximity to power did not matter. Her connections did not matter. Nothing mattered. Nothing had to be fair because Paulie and Donald Trump and all of these people will do anything to keep their secrets quiet. And just to close us out, I'm going to share a clip that Amanda has sent me and given me permission to share of some footage that she filmed at a White House event during Donald Trump's first term. And you'll see in this little clip, Donald Trump goes up to Paula and Poli and exclaims, "My man." And you can tell the bond is strong between those two. >> That was great, huh? My man [music] [music] >> [music] >> That's all I have for you guys right now. I will see you guys in the next one. And you can go check out my Substack if you want to read more about this story. And you can look at my YouTube. I'm I'm talking about it everywhere. Okay. I do have a couple other topics that I do want to talk about surrounding Jeffree that are unrelated to Paulo and Amanda.
