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.
Yeah, this is the whole point of “racial” categories in USA: “hispanic”, “latino”, “white latino”, etc. It’s all about preserving bullshit race “science” and eurocenticism in service to white supremacy.
The fact that some people see “white” as the default and the rest as “ethnic” is ridiculous
