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.

    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.

    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.

    They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they’re begging for money and eggs. And it’s just the beginning.

    Stay in school.

      Sch… school? They’re dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it’s going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.

      Checking conservative media, they are saying Trump saved him $2,999.99 in egg costs… So close, sadly not enough.
