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 reckon, “first they came” would be applicable here, however the realist in me says they would continue to go and lock up non fascists

        First they came for the fascists, and I didn’t care, because it’s what the fascist wanted, and it helps to thin their numbers?

          Yes, very true, unfortunately fighting to ensure no one suffers from fascists, also benefits fascists from being affected.
