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.
If they are jailing documented immigrants they are not enforcing anything, they are kidnapping people.
Has Melania been detained yet?
Isn’t Vance’s wife Indian?
No you see, she’s in on an Einstein visa.
“Epstein Visa”
I mean, has anyone even seen Melania since the inauguration?
It’s not about any of the things they say it is though.
