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.
Who just casually overstays their visa and goes traveling? Overstaying your visa essentially guarantees you’ll never be able to renew your visa again in many countries, and is a personal fear of mine.
The husband voted trump, but the wife is the bigger idiot.
His wife was an illegal and he voted for Trump anyway? How dumb can you get?
Did you read the article? It says they had an immigration application currently under review. That isn’t the same thing.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is then remember half of them are stupider than that.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is then remember half of them are just as stupid as the other half.
This is a fairly consistent through line with a lot of conservatives in general. It’s always about punishing others, even when they’re part of that same group, because they’re the “good” ones, as of that’ll make any sort of difference to law enforcement.
Apparently dumb enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico, which is US territory but outside the customs zone.
Its not even cathartic anymore. Make the madness stop.
Can we get this posted a sixth time?
Who’s next in line to do it
