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.

    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.

        So, let them thin out their numbers for a bit, we focus first on everyone not a fascist, then we’ll help them after their done bloodying their own noses, and become fewer in number, and far easier to deal with.

        Or, we could go with the method that works the fastest to deal with fascists, and we’ll end up doing anyways in the end, once everyone remembers this is how to deal with fascists: Start shooting them.
