ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

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.

      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

      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.
