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.

Feel sorry for her. Maybe she'll find a better partner.

"fucking leopards..."

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 3 points 55 minutes ago

100% his fault for making his wife suffer in anyway in a detention center.

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Crazy how many people voted for this guy only to be deported by the very man they voted for 🤣🤣🤣

Americans are acc some wallards man.

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

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 26 points 4 hours ago

Aren't these people guys with guns who fantasize about fighting tyranny? Well this is your fucking chance to shine, sweetheart!

[–] Retropunk64@lemm.ee 15 points 6 hours ago

Those damn leopards at it again.

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.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The overwhelming majority of 'illegal' residents are visa overstays.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Like Melania Trump! She overstayed her tourism visa, while also working while on a tourism visa.

I will never not be amazed at the hatred and stupidity at the heart of MAGA

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 3 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

There are easier ways to get divorced... just saying

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Trump's social security hack!....pretend to be an immigrant and you'll get fed for life!.... So very not lol, but that's what my wandering mind does when I'm not using it.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I wonder if she knew he was actively supporting the politics of people that hate her.

[–] fff45667@lemm.ee 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm gonna go with probably not.

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

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".

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

She probably thought "I'm one of the good ones! I LOVE TRUMP! He will kick out those dirty Mexicanos!!!!"

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

It's almost as if being a racist douchebag is bad for everyone........

[–] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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?

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago

They always were.

If you are within 100 miles of an international port, which includes international airports, not just water ports, or border crossings, your rights are non-existent, and can be ignored by law enforcement at their discretion.

Apparently... yes...

ICE is switching resources away from terrorism towards attacking anti-genocide protestors.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Anti-genocide protestors are terrorists. Didn't you hear the president. Anyone he likes is an honorable patriot as long as he likes him. If he dislikes you, you're now a terrorist and heading to Gitmo. /S

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

They've never really been focused on terrorism. It was always about going after brown people.

These clowns always pull up the ladder after they "get theirs." Marry an immigrant and think you're safe? Vote to get rid of the ones you don't like via a Dictator. Dictators turn on their supporters sooner or later, for them it was sooner. Wait until he comes for the guns. He's the only president that has said guns should be taken away.

E: Getting lots of gateway timeouts for .world, anyone else? I'm in the US.
