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.

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

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 16 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Trump's social security hack!....pretend to be an immigrant and you'll get fed for life!.... So very not lol, but that's what my wandering mind does when I'm not using it.

Those damn leopards at it again.

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.

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

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 2 points 27 minutes ago

Like Melania Trump! She overstayed her tourism visa, while also working while on a tourism visa.

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

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 26 minutes 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.

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

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

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 25 minutes ago

She probably thought "I'm one of the good ones! I LOVE TRUMP! He will kick out those dirty Mexicanos!!!!"

[–] fff45667@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago

I'm gonna go with probably not.

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

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?

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 24 minutes 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.

Apparently... yes...

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

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 39 minutes 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

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 22 minutes ago

They've never really been focused on terrorism. It was always about going after brown people.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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.

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 5 points 5 hours ago

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.
