Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

    I’m not against helping but in this case …

    1. “overstayed her work-study visa” -> Break the rules and it’s likely there will be consequences. The reason why does not matter. ( although the case handling officer can show sympathy if they seem the reason valid )
    2. I’m no Trump fan, but he was clear on his plans, yet he still voted for trump

    So, no, I’m not donating.

      Yeah fr, this is awful PR. Of course he would vote for Trump again, he is doing exactly what he promised and this fucker knows it.

      She did break the law, any way you look at it.

        Getting to and staying in the country shouldn’t be so hard. To me, that seems like the fundamental issue, and so many breaking the law was a workaround to a shitty system.

    It’s so frustrating that Camila doesn’t deserve any of this, but the person saying they wouldn’t change their decision and does deserve to see consequences will refuse to actually feel them.

    Like, I want her out, but how dare this asshole say he regrets nothing while asking others to bail him out for the thing he voted for and still wants more of? Why is a social safety net OK in this case to this guy, but not for anyone else?

    The detentions are a for-profit endeavor, the people are being treated inhumanely, and this is all some Nazi-level shit. I want all the allies that can be won away from the neofascists. I fucking hate this particular dude’s refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It’s maddening.

    Free Camila.

    Of course he has no regrets.

    1. He proudly voted for Trump, therefore he has no compassion for anyone who is not himself
    2. He proudly voted for Trump, a man known to value women only as a commodity. Why would he worry about this wife when he can get a new one at equal or better value?
    3. He proudly voted for Trump, a known grifter and therefore probably appreciates a good grift. These donations are likely going to support himself and he’ll gladly let his wife be the face of “illegal immigrants can look like anyone.”

    How could he have any regrets? He’s suddenly getting so much attention. See points 1 and 2.

    Why the fuck should anybody give this guy money to help him avoid the inevitable consequences of the policy regime that he voted in and still supports?

    Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: “He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is.”

    Sheer delusion. I got news for you chump, Trump doesn’t give a shit about fixing anything. He’s not going to help you. He doesn’t feel gratitude, he doesn’t understand ethics. He already told you he only needed your vote one more time, he got it and now you’re disposable.

      He’s a really uninformed and unanalytical person. Exactly the kind of voter trump wants.
