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.

Aren't these people guys with guns who fantasize about fighting tyranny? Well this is your fucking chance to shine, sweetheart!

Damn, it's almost enough to make you think every single Trump supporter is an ignorant idiot absolutely devoid of any concept of forethought.

Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa but had applied for legal residency.

I have to assume this guy was aware of this. So if you vote to have "illegals" deported, how is this not exactly what you voted for?

They really don't like having to think about things do they?

I wonder if he told at all her he votes for people that want her gone.

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

The overwhelming majority of 'illegal' residents are visa overstays.

Feel sorry for her. Maybe she'll find a better partner.

I will never not be amazed at the hatred and stupidity at the heart of MAGA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Did you ever learn about say... The Jewish Holocaust? The Rwanandan Genocide? The Palestinian Genocide?

Hate can, and does, go very deep, and is very easy to tap for those who look to do so, for their own ends.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

It's almost as if being a racist douchebag is bad for everyone........

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wonder if she knew he was actively supporting the politics of people that hate her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

LOTS of immigrants are anti-immigrant once they think they've made it in safely. Makes them feel better about themselves I guess.

100% his fault for making his wife suffer in anyway in a detention center.

There are easier ways to get divorced... just saying

The one bit that’s not being mentioned: they detained her from a flight from Puerto Rico, which is a US protectorate. Does that mean flights from other US states are now being examined by border and customs?

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

They always were.

If you are within 100 miles of an international port, which includes international airports, not just water ports, or border crossings, your rights are non-existent, and can be ignored by law enforcement at their discretion.

ICE is switching resources away from terrorism towards attacking anti-genocide protestors.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Anti-genocide protestors are terrorists. Didn't you hear the president. Anyone he likes is an honorable patriot as long as he likes him. If he dislikes you, you're now a terrorist and heading to Gitmo. /S

Apparently... yes...

These clowns always pull up the ladder after they "get theirs." Marry an immigrant and think you're safe? Vote to get rid of the ones you don't like via a Dictator. Dictators turn on their supporters sooner or later, for them it was sooner. Wait until he comes for the guns. He's the only president that has said guns should be taken away.

E: Getting lots of gateway timeouts for .world, anyone else? I'm in the US.

This reads like the post Brexit articles. What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?

Well, can’t say trump isn’t keeping my the promises he made when on campaign

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Imagine being an immigrate and marrying a Trump supporter. Should we feel sorry for her? Because I feel no sympathy for him.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Imagine being an immigrate and marrying a Trump supporter.

Imagine being an immigrant and marrying a Trump. FIFY

Not even blue steel could help you then.

People usually believe that politics is something that comes after personal relationships.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Which is a dumb belief.

"Love conquers all" lol no, you don't live in a fucking Disney movie.

Certain political beliefs can and will do harm. Feelings will not protect you from harm. Choose your partner wisely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Crazy how many people voted for this guy only to be deported by the very man they voted for 🤣🤣🤣

Americans are acc some wallards man.

Good. It sucks for her, but Trump voters don't deserve to have happy lives.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who supported or still support Trump. They deserve pain. It’s the only language they understand.

[–] [email protected] 317 points 2 days ago (23 children)

You shouldn't have to have it happen to you before you realize the impact it has on others, but that's what we're up against.

Honestly I think this is part of why conservatives like homeschooling so much; being in a close classroom environment teaches most people empathy as they quickly realize they are not the center of the teacher or anyone else's universe.

Conservatives want to deprive us the lesson of empathy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Empathy is a marker of intelligence. I strongly doubt the education of conservatives. Hence the need for first-hand experience

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.

These are the people who truly deserve this though. Not her, but her fucking dunce of a partner. Hopefully he realizes how hateful and nasty the Republican Party is. If not, he’s just another waste of resources.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (8 children)

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

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.
