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.

    Damn, it’s almost enough to make you think every single Trump supporter is an ignorant idiot absolutely devoid of any concept of forethought.

    Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency.

    I have to assume this guy was aware of this. So if you vote to have “illegals” deported, how is this not exactly what you voted for?

    They really don’t like having to think about things do they?

    I wonder if he told at all her he votes for people that want her gone.

      Did you ever learn about say… The Jewish Holocaust? The Rwanandan Genocide? The Palestinian Genocide?

      Hate can, and does, go very deep, and is very easy to tap for those who look to do so, for their own ends.

      LOTS of immigrants are anti-immigrant once they think they’ve made it in safely. Makes them feel better about themselves I guess.

          At least over here in Finland there are several immigrants who are running for the communal elections through the anti-immigration party Perussuomalaiset. And they get voted by other immigrants. They are many. Remember, “many” does not mean the same as “most”.

    The one bit that’s not being mentioned: they detained her from a flight from Puerto Rico, which is a US protectorate. Does that mean flights from other US states are now being examined by border and customs?
