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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 33 minutes ago

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.

"They're hurting the wrong people!!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 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] 10 points 2 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 43 minutes ago* (last edited 42 minutes 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.

oh no....i forgot my sympathy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

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] 74 points 8 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] 17 points 4 hours ago

Well that's what decades of destroying education will do

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 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] 5 points 3 hours ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The amazing thing about this is that Americans who travel are on average a lot more open-minded and intelligent than those who don't. And we still make a terrible impression.

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

Guess you can't take the murica out of an american

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

I didn’t realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas

We are poorly viewed by intelligent beings here too.

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

[–] [email protected] 49 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

How ironic would it be if he pressured his illegal immigrant wife to vote for t too 🤔

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

Have to go to a private detention center so that Drumphs mates who own the centers, can profit as mightily as possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

No price for FREEDUMB!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you do that to your own wife?

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

Cheaper than a divorce? /s

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I can't wrap my head around how people don't think the rules will apply to them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

They're voting for people who regularly avoid the consequences of their actions. They think that they'll receive the same special treatment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

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.
