ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US 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.

    Maybe it’s just me… But as much as Trump is a terrible person, I don’t think his fans should be put in camps, deported, etc. Same with fans of genocide joe.

      Yikes at this being downvoted. You’re literally just saying “Haha it’s ok to deport people illegally as long as they voted for Trump!” is a bad take.

      Like, you can enjoy the irony and still have some actual principles.

      I’m sure your feelings matter to the Trump administration that’s building concentration camps and deporting people.
