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 immigrants in legal limbo.

Bartell, once supportive of stricter immigration policies, now questions the impact on families like his own.

    Maybe a controversial opinion but I don’t think anyone belongs in an ICE detention centre regardless of who their spouse voted for. I don’t think this is funny.

    HA HA HA! The dipshits Bradley and Camila found out. The article indicates Camila was flown to a privately run detention center in fucking Louisiana, WTF, GITMO was closer. Are the fuckers at DOGE checking how much the shit is costing US taxpayers?

    Good. I hope he’s fucking devastated. I hope his entire world is fucking crumbling. Everyone with three working braincells or more knew exactly what would happen if we let the christonationalist fascists have total control of the government, and pieces of subhuman trash like him willingly made it happen.

    I hate that as americans were so stupid we have to learn like this because we can’t hear people out before it gets to this point.

      Like I believe one of your founding fathers Benjamin Franklin said: “Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other”

      I had a Scottish chick in Edinburgh tell me that I was the only American she enjoyed talking to. I didn’t realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas until I went myself.

      People here don’t even think. I feel like most people in my life barely understand they exist. They are like walking products that work for the evil that created them.

    It’s easy to pick on this guy but pretty much the same goes for everyone: americans keep voting for red or blue and unless they are the billionares enriching themself over and over they always end up getting fucked

      americans keep voting for red or blue

      • It’s a binary choice, if we omit the Russian-backed shill
      • #BothSides aren’t the same
      • pick the option of the two that is better. Repeat as the candidates evolve

      I’m not sure whether these “#bothSides are terrible so let’s not vote” are unable to detect nuance, can’t read, can’t do math, intentionally disenfranchising people, actually thinking they’re crusaders, or kids in the basement hating everything because the science homework is due.

      Still very committed to being uncommitted, even while other people are facing hardship. Will you still be uncommitted when you’re facing hardship from the MAGAs?

        You are making the same mistake of this guy. Don’t wait the government to fuck up with one of your relatives to understand that the red and blue parties are the two faces of the same medal

      I mean yeah, except for the fact that the wife is now ‘detained with ice’ which doesn’t sound like a good time

    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.

    There’s a silver lining to this. Think about all the high quality white collar jobs (lawyers) that this is supporting. Way to stimulate the economy, Trumpers! /s
