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.

If they are jailing documented immigrants they are not enforcing anything, they are kidnapping people.

Americans should get out of the habit of taking fascist words at face value.

I'm so confused. They really had no care in the world it seemed. They really thought it was ok to go somewhere while she had an expired visa and before getting a green card since they just married? Your honeymoon could have waited, idk why anyone would have taken that risk... I don't know how long it takes after marriage, but even if it took a year, then that's how long I'm keeping low.

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.

That's a real shame. Please pass the popcorn.

Why does the Article sound so Negative? This is EXACTLY what President Musk promised to do! This man is probably EXTREMELY Happy that the President kept Their word!
