A Mexican-born father-of-four, whose wife voted for President Donald Trump, is facing deportation.

Roberto Beristain, 43, from Indiana, was arrested while on his way to his annual US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-in last month.

The restaurant owner had ignored a deportation order from the year 2000 after he was arrested at the Canadian border.

His family has said the past five weeks have been tough without her husband and is hoping Mr Beristain will be home soon.

One of the couple's daughters told the New York Daily News her mother Helen had voted for Donald Trump because she agreed with his tough line on deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.

She added Mrs Beristain did not think it would affect her husband.

Mr Beristain, who owns Eddie's Steak Shack, in Granger, Indiana, was first arrested 17 years ago after he took a wrong turn while driving in Niagara Falls on a family vacation.

He ended up driving over the Canadian border and was stopped as he tried to get back in to the US. After failing to produce any documentation he was arrested.

He spent the next few weeks in jail before being told he had a few months to leave the country.

Mr Beristain ignored the order, choosing instead to stay with his wife, who was pregnant at the time. Mrs Beristain said her husband has been working hard to get citizenship ever since.

She told WNDU: 'Roberto has his social security card. He's got his license, he's got everything he needs to have to be here.

'Sometimes, things don't go your way. Sometimes people make you feel like you're a criminal, you're doing bad things. But you've always got to look at the bright side.'

Mr Beristain is being detained in Kenosha, Wisconsin, waiting on ICE to review his records.
