Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

    I’m not against helping but in this case …

    1. “overstayed her work-study visa” -> Break the rules and it’s likely there will be consequences. The reason why does not matter. ( although the case handling officer can show sympathy if they seem the reason valid )
    2. I’m no Trump fan, but he was clear on his plans, yet he still voted for trump

    So, no, I’m not donating.

      Yeah fr, this is awful PR. Of course he would vote for Trump again, he is doing exactly what he promised and this fucker knows it.

      She did break the law, any way you look at it.

        Getting to and staying in the country shouldn’t be so hard. To me, that seems like the fundamental issue, and so many breaking the law was a workaround to a shitty system.
