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.

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.

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

People are dumb, especially when lied to 24/7.

The average Russian probably still thinks that Ukraine is Nazis and that they are winning. The average Chinese doesn't know about Tiananmen square students protest or the brutal suppression much less Uyghurs genocide. Name a country and there's something along those lines ongoing or at least in recent history. The far-right in Europe is doing much like America was just 10-20y ago other places are already ahead into their authoritarian phase.

Leopards meet faces, faces meet leopards.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who supported or still support Trump. They deserve pain. It’s the only language they understand.

"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.

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.

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

[-] invertedspear@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months 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.

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 4 months ago

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

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Well she didn't vote, so in that way she is not responsible. He is. She may be just as stupid, but we don't know that.

[-] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

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.

Woops. Sucks to suck.

Stupid is a stupid does.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Can we start deporting these fucks too? He married her, he should go too.

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Right? Deported for harboring known criminals.
