ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a U.S. 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 have to assume this guy was aware of this. So if you vote to have “illegals” deported, how is this not exactly what you voted for?

    They really don’t like having to think about things do they?

    I wonder if he told at all her he votes for people that want her gone.

      I am going through this process right now.

      Once we are married (very soon) she will apply for a change of status to CR1 Visa (Temporary Residency for a spouse of an American citizen)

      From that point you have 2 years to finalize application for a Green Card (permanent residency)

      Once she has her Green Card, so long as she isn’t a criminal breaking any laws (non immigration related, felony shit) then she is a legal, permanent, resident.

      You then have to maintain that Green Card status for a minimum of 3 YEARS to then apply for full or dual citizenship. (Though you apply 90 days before that 3 year mark arrives)

      I don’t think it ever did. It does qualify you for legal residency status, resident alien or “green card” as most people refer to it. I’m pretty sure that status can be voided if you did anything illegal along the way. For citizen status you still have to go through the process.

        Not even treason can end in the revocation of your citizenship if naturally born (possible for a naturalized citizen)

        Doubling down on racist, fascist policies probably isn’t the best way to fight against them

      US Citizens cannot legally be deported, and the 14th Amendment protects you from forced revocation of your citizenship. The only way you can become a Non Citizen again is denaturalization, or renunciation.

    Damn, it’s almost enough to make you think every single Trump supporter is an ignorant idiot absolutely devoid of any concept of forethought.

    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.
