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.

Girl I hope you realize you are about to marry a racist that doesn’t see you as people. Run.

Well, that was stupid wasn’t it

"First, they came for the pro-Palestinian activists, and my jimmies weren't rustled.

"Then they came for the Peruvian newlyweds and my jimmies weren't rustled."

This is just the Hollywood modern reimagining of WW2 that no one wanted.

The more I see stories like this, the more I wonder if Americans can make it out of this hole they've dug. The average inhabitant seems... rather lacking, compared to other developed countries.

I disagree. People are dumb. Pick a country and I'm sure I can find shitty takes reported in the news. Hell, look at Brexit

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Brexit was indeed a dumb move, but let's be honest here, it's nowhere near what's happening in the US right now. I can't think of anything comparable in a first-world country, at least not since WWII.

Sad for his wife, but honestly fuck him, he got what he asked for. He has zero right to complain.

[-] tatann@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Didn't she willfully married a trump voter ? Or did he hide his shitty views before the wedding ?

Does marriage to a citizen no longer make you a citizen? Did I miss that part?

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I am going through this process right now.

Once we are married (very soon) she will apply for a change of status to CR1 Visa (Temporary Residency for a spouse of an American citizen)

From that point you have 2 years to finalize application for a Green Card (permanent residency)

Once she has her Green Card, so long as she isn't a criminal breaking any laws (non immigration related, felony shit) then she is a legal, permanent, resident.

You then have to maintain that Green Card status for a minimum of 3 YEARS to then apply for full or dual citizenship. (Though you apply 90 days before that 3 year mark arrives)

[-] invertedspear@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I don’t think it ever did. It does qualify you for legal residency status, resident alien or “green card” as most people refer to it. I’m pretty sure that status can be voided if you did anything illegal along the way. For citizen status you still have to go through the process.

Bradley, hopefully you'll choose more wisely with your next wife.

And I bet he would vote for Trump again. That's how brain washed they are.

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Let's start arresting Trumpers (not just husbands, but farmers, restaraunt owners, hotel owners, factory owners, etc) for multiple counts of aiding and abetting and see if they still think supporting him is a good idea.
