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.

I hate how many people are this fucking stupid.

Drumpf is an immigrant. Is he gonna get deported?

I'd feel sorry for the guy but that would be both insincere and incorrect. After all, he got exactly what he voted for.

"They're hurting the wrong people!!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

These shithead said out loud what they would do - so he is mad because he voted for what trump said he would do. What a dipshit. Sorry, you don't get s Oops this time.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 52 minutes ago

Yeah, I agree, it's not funny, it's a fucking nightmare, and I hate that so many people are dumb enough to believe the restrained version of Trump the media sells and not the words coming out of Trump's idiot mouth.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago

Haven't you heard? Empathy is a sin and the weakness of Western civilization. It's what a true conservative would want.

Who am I to prevent a fash from locking up a fash?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I reckon, "first they came" would be applicable here, however the realist in me says they continied to go and lock up non fascists

Another fucking idiot whose ignorance helped inflict Trump on us.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Dumb motherfucker forgot that "criminal illegal immigrant" is redundant. If they're illegal, they're criminals, even if it's overstaying their visa. Including his wife.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 44 minutes ago)

I don't think this is correct, because I'm pretty sure that overstaying your visa is a civil violation, not a criminal offense. All criminal acts are illegal, but not all illegal acts are criminal.

Boo hoo. Boo hoo. FAFO MAGAtard.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

Well that's what decades of destroying education will do

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

they just refuse to listen.

Like I believe one of your founding father Benjamin Franklin said: "Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

He would have been pretty nonplussed by our current batch of fools who can't even learn from experience.

oh no....i forgot my sympathy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Have sympathy for the wife. She didn't vote for Trump.

Frankly, I hope she is freed quickly, and that she realizes how his actions led to her predicament and drops his ass like a bad habit as soon as she's free.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

She won't be. Maga doesn't give a fuck. This has happened a bunch of times already.

Heey I didn’t think they’d eat my face

"but... it shouldn't have affected ME, you know?"
