ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

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.

    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.

      I have little sympathy for Madame. She travelled out of the country to Puerto Rico for her honeymoon, knowing she overstayed on her visa. Given what had happened in the weeks leading up to them leaving the US last week, she really should have not gotten on that plane.

        The reason I sympathize with Madam is the same reason I sympathize with most migrants: they’re not doing it to hurt the country they migrate to, they’re trying to have a shot at a better life. I totally get what you’re saying but that doesn’t make her a bad person.

        Sir however is a dumbass: he did the very thing the guy he voted for said he would crack down on and now he’s bitching and moaning… Well ya know, faces, leopards and all that.

    Muñoz, from Peru, overstayed her visa … Bartell, once supportive of stricter immigration policies, …

    “Supportive of stricter immigration policies,” doesn’t turn in his wife for violating existing immigration policies.

      An american woman wouldn’t put up with his shit. My brother is unfortunately a trumper, and he got a foreign wife because she is the only woman that will put up with his shit that a normal woman would have walked out of years ago.

      She slaves over him like a tradwife, raises his kids that isn’t hers from the previous woman that walked away from his shit. But he’s got joint custody.

    She overstayed her visa. And he should have known about it. Maybe this situation will urge people to take it seriously and take steps sooner.

    “Documented” lol once her visa expired, she became “undocumented”.

    While the liberals are torching and destroying Tesla’s because they think they have a right to do it, they’re making heinous comments about people because it makes them feel better about their shitty immoral choices.

    Keep crying.
