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.
Got what he voted for.
The money the couple saved for a down payment on a home has evaporated into attorneys fees and savings to pay a bond for her release, if she’s given that chance.
That’s a real shame. Please pass the popcorn.
I may be enjoying this a little too much.
he was crying, she crew too, they both crode
He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting -
Trump Voter from last time
He is ok destroying other families. Fuck him. I hope she realizes what a piece of shit he and America are now
He’ll vote that way again, I guarantee it.
I’m so confused. They really had no care in the world it seemed. They really thought it was ok to go somewhere while she had an expired visa and before getting a green card since they just married? Your honeymoon could have waited, idk why anyone would have taken that risk… I don’t know how long it takes after marriage, but even if it took a year, then that’s how long I’m keeping low.
Her case reflects ICE’s broadened enforcement that now includes documented immigrants.
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.
Good. I’m not going to cry over people literally getting what they asked for.
Leopards ate his wife.
