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.

Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏
I’m not against helping but in this case …
- “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 )
- 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.

Brad, this is what Trump does. You may succeed in raising that money, but someone else may not be so lucky. What would you say then?
most likely, some form of “fuck you, got mine”
Americans doing a GoFundMe is always funny to me. Like you clearly understand if you pool together money, you can make a big impact. For example when little Timmy needs a big operation and can’t afford it, people can start a GoFundMe, everyone chips in a little bit of money and Timmy is covered. So if we scale that up a bit… NO, THAT’S COMMUNISM!
It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.
Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.
Considering communism has a centrally planned economy this is not analogous at all. You’re thinking more in line with social programs which I do agree
If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?
He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you’re still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.
Shooting yourself in the foot
She sounds like “the worst of the worst”. He should be happy she was deported.
$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs… get fucked my guy. You voted for this. I would say suck an egg, but clearly you can’t afford it.
Good to see it’s only at $800 at this time. I really hope it fails, but i have my doubts.
Yeah, no thanks. Actions have consequences. You can visit her when they illegally deport her to some random country, could be anywhere Americans are horrible with geography.
Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: “He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is.”
Sheer delusion. I got news for you chump, Trump doesn’t give a shit about fixing anything. He’s not going to help you. He doesn’t feel gratitude, he doesn’t understand ethics. He already told you he only needed your vote one more time, he got it and now you’re disposable.
He’s a really uninformed and unanalytical person. Exactly the kind of voter trump wants.
Didn’t he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?
Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance to be found in the average Trump supporter’s views. These are remarkably dumb people.
Rivaling neutron stars in density.
Black holes instead of brains
more like a selective worm hole that goes from one ear and out the other.
That’s doublethink. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort you feel from it. Obviously, he feels none.
2 * 0 = 0
No regrets but a go fund me. Sure, buddy, we believe you.
Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he’s not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn’t look into OP’s comment to fact check because you know I’m only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad …
Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this?
Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.
Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation,
He probably just wants his wife to stay, but everybody else to be thrown out.
I really do feel bad for them
Why?
There are already too many deserving charities for my pocket book. Giving money to an unrepentant Trump voter who got exactly what he voted for gets my sympathy, but not a dime.
He must have that TDS that’s going around these days. It makes you talk and act oposite to reason.
You can’t GoFundMe your way out of being stupid.
