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.

      The thoughts I’d be sending are all “fuck this dude, I hope she divorces him when she finds out this is what he voted for”.

    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.

    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?

    Yeah, no thanks. Actions have consequences. You can visit her when they illegally deport her to some random country, could be anywhere Americans are horrible with geography.

    Brad, this is what Trump does. You may succeed in raising that money, but someone else may not be so lucky. What would you say then?

    If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?

    He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you’re still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.

    Hmmm I sincerely doubt any money raised by this bigot would go to free his wife…

    Good to see it’s only at $800 at this time. I really hope it fails, but i have my doubts.
