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.

Another fucking idiot whose ignorance helped inflict Trump on us.
Maybe a controversial opinion but I don’t think anyone belongs in an ICE detention centre regardless of who their spouse voted for. I don’t think this is funny.
Good. I hope he’s fucking devastated. I hope his entire world is fucking crumbling. Everyone with three working braincells or more knew exactly what would happen if we let the christonationalist fascists have total control of the government, and pieces of subhuman trash like him willingly made it happen.
I hate that as americans were so stupid we have to learn like this because we can’t hear people out before it gets to this point.
Well that’s what decades of destroying education will do
Like I believe one of your founding fathers Benjamin Franklin said: “Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other”
Haha, you think they learn.
I had a Scottish chick in Edinburgh tell me that I was the only American she enjoyed talking to. I didn’t realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas until I went myself.
I didn’t realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas
We are poorly viewed by intelligent beings here too.
People here don’t even think. I feel like most people in my life barely understand they exist. They are like walking products that work for the evil that created them.
Heey I didn’t think they’d eat my face
HA HA HA! The dipshits Bradley and Camila found out. The article indicates Camila was flown to a privately run detention center in fucking Louisiana, WTF, GITMO was closer. Are the fuckers at DOGE checking how much the shit is costing US taxpayers?
Have to go to a private detention center so that Drumphs mates who own the centers, can profit as mightily as possible.
No price for FREEDUMB!
Whomp whomp
“but… it shouldn’t have affected ME, you know?”
Right because my situation is special. I’m special and these laws don’t apply to me. @shithead I’ve voted for you 3 times, please help rectify this mistake.
Another dumbass who still hasn’t figured it out.
Why would you do that to your own wife?
Cheaper than a divorce? /s
I can’t wrap my head around how people don’t think the rules will apply to them
IMO, people think this way because they’re trying to do the right thing, but the nebulous others are not. Deporting those others would make it faster and more acceptable for themselves to be approved. Clearing the queue and getting a glow up, for a ridiculous analogy. Fear leads to irrational choices. Telling people they’ll be 1000% more patriotic if you vote for them is an evil but successful tactic pandering to this fear.
Well, that was stupid wasn’t it
The money the couple saved for a down payment on a home has evaporated into attorneys fees and savings to pay a bond for her release, if she’s given that chance.
There’s a silver lining to this. Think about all the high quality white collar jobs (lawyers) that this is supporting. Way to stimulate the economy, Trumpers! /s
Me when I read stories like this
FAFO vote for a clown don’t complain it’s turning into a crazy circus
