He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.
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.

I pity Madam but I have little sympathy for Sir.

I have little sympathy for Madame. She travelled
out of the countryto 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 removed and moaning... Well ya know, faces, leopards and all that.

She should have left him when he supported a rapist criminal for President of the country she wishes to join. Face-eating voter by proxy.

She went to Puerto Rico. Which is a US territory.

That may be true, but they have been rounding up legal immigrants at the various ports of entry for weeks. I didn't see that the trip was to PR, but either way, they've rounded up several legal immigrants just here in San Ysidro. She knew she was no longer legally here, fucked around and found out.

The stupidest thing she did was marry someone who would vote that way. She should have left his ass the second he cast that ballot, if not before.
