"I don't regret the vote," Bradley Bartell said after his wife was detained by ICE as they returned home from their honeymoon.

Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter, says he does not regret his choice despite his wife, Camila Muñoz, being detained by ICE after their honeymoon.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen seeking a green card, overstayed her visa due to the pandemic. Bartell criticized ICE’s inefficiency but still supports Trump, hoping he improves the system.

His story highlights Trump’s mass deportation policies, which have led to arrests of nonviolent migrants and even legal residents.

Muñoz remains in ICE custody as her case proceeds.
