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.

Sad for his wife, but honestly fuck him, he got what he asked for. He has zero right to complain.
Didn’t she willfully married a trump voter ? Or did he hide his shitty views before the wedding ?
Well she didn’t vote, so in that way she is not responsible. He is. She may be just as stupid, but we don’t know that.
Damn, it’s almost enough to make you think every single Trump supporter is an ignorant idiot absolutely devoid of any concept of forethought.
Oh no anyway.jpg
Such a shame… anyway…
I honestly believe these idiots that voted for Trump somehow thought that they would be immune to his policies. He doesn’t give a fuck about you.
American exceptionalism
I know it’s been getting a lot of mileage on Lemmy lately, but:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
- Wilholt’s Law
He figured he was in the first group, and since conservatives tend to think women are property, he figured her being with him put her in that group too. Whoops.
This is a really good read on these types of situations. He’s a white guy and he thought that was enough. that means the rules don’t apply to him. I think as we are trying to figure these people out we sometimes overcomplicate it and a lot of the times the reasons are really quite simple. Just like them.
All conservatives want this law to be reality, and they all want to be in the first group. When you look at it in that light, all their supposedly contradictory actions make sense.
It seems like most of the time the realization they come to is less ‘oh wow maybe this is bad actually’ and more ‘hey, you put me in the wrong group!’
In general we give people who act stupid way too much credit, they’re actually just fucking stupid.
Conversely, we’re way too comfortable letting politicians play stupid instead of calling them out for their malicious intentions. And if the politician truly is stupid (Trump) there are handlers behind them pulling the strings
They thought by bending the knee to Trump, they would be exempt from his bullshit. You’re 100% right here. He doesn’t give a fuck about Americans, their families or the down troddened.
Trump only cares about Trump.
And anyone with power or money that will kiss his butt.
She definitely was not Muskinaire, that’s one of the ways you can bend your illegally-legally.
For sure. It’s the classic:

that was his plan from the start
100% his fault for making his wife suffer in anyway in a detention center.
LOL!
Woops. Sucks to suck.
Stupid is a stupid does.
The more I see stories like this, the more I wonder if Americans can make it out of this hole they’ve dug. The average inhabitant seems… rather lacking, compared to other developed countries.

otherdeveloped countriesI disagree. People are dumb. Pick a country and I’m sure I can find shitty takes reported in the news. Hell, look at Brexit
Agreed. The thought that you’re above the con, you could not fall for a grift, is the greatest thing a con man could hope for in a target.
Go watch any advice from cult experts. The people who think themselves too smart to fall into a cult, are MORE likely to be tricked or convinced into one
Brexit was indeed a dumb move, but let’s be honest here, it’s nowhere near what’s happening in the US right now. I can’t think of anything comparable in a first-world country, at least not since WWII.
… yet
There’s literally been a genocide ongoing in Palestine for almost 1.5 years. Hegemonic support for this genocide is a direct cause of growing fascism.
Liberal blind spots are amazingly huge.
Frankly I don’t think of Israel as a first-world country, so that hadn’t crossed my mind.
Exactly, the US government has made it this far on good luck and overall commitment to a mythical American ideal. All it took was a successful populist candidate and some class war propaganda to undo all that.
People are dumb, especially when lied to 24/7.
The average Russian probably still thinks that Ukraine is Nazis and that they are winning. The average Chinese doesn’t know about Tiananmen square students protest or the brutal suppression much less Uyghurs genocide. Name a country and there’s something along those lines ongoing or at least in recent history. The far-right in Europe is doing much like America was just 10-20y ago other places are already ahead into their authoritarian phase.
Another fucking idiot whose ignorance helped inflict Trump on us.
Hahahaha
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.
