Summary

Wisconsin resident Bradley Bartell voted for Trump’s promise to crack down on “criminal illegal immigrants,” but now his Peruvian wife Camila Muñoz has been detained by ICE.

Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency. On their way home from a honeymoon, immigration agents detained her at a Puerto Rico airport.

Despite no criminal record, she remains in a Louisiana detention center. Her case reflects ICE’s broadened enforcement that now includes documented immigrants.

Bartell, once supportive of stricter immigration policies, now questions the impact on families like his own.

    I’d feel sorry for the guy but that would be both insincere and incorrect. After all, he got exactly what he voted for.

    Maybe a controversial opinion but I don’t think anyone belongs in an ICE detention centre regardless of who their spouse voted for. I don’t think this is funny.

      Yeah, I agree, it’s not funny, it’s a fucking nightmare, and I hate that so many people are dumb enough to believe the restrained version of Trump the media sells and not the words coming out of Trump’s idiot mouth.

      Haven’t you heard? Empathy is a sin and the weakness of Western civilization. It’s what a true conservative would want.

    Dumb motherfucker forgot that “criminal illegal immigrant” is redundant. If they’re illegal, they’re criminals, even if it’s overstaying their visa. Including his wife.

      I don’t think this is correct, because I’m pretty sure that overstaying your visa is a civil violation, not a criminal offense. All criminal acts are illegal, but not all illegal acts are criminal.

    Good. I hope he’s fucking devastated. I hope his entire world is fucking crumbling. Everyone with three working braincells or more knew exactly what would happen if we let the christonationalist fascists have total control of the government, and pieces of subhuman trash like him willingly made it happen.
