A Donald Trump supporter said he doesn’t regret his decision to vote for the president despite ICE agents arresting his wife amid mass deportation efforts, per Newsweek.
Bradley Bartell said he and his wife, Camila Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen working toward obtaining permanent residency in the U.S., were traveling back home from their honeymoon when she was detained by ICE.
Munoz first came to the U.S. on a work-study visa in 2019. Her visa expired amid the COVID-19 pandemic and when international travel was halted. Munoz met Bartell while working in farming and hospitality.
The two married and had pushed their honeymoon to February when Munoz was stopped by ICE agents while coming back from Puerto Rico.
Despite explaining that she was in the process of obtaining a green card, Munoz was detained and is currently being held in an ICE Facility in Louisiana.
"It's all been a nightmare really, taking things as they come and moving forward," Bartell said. "We have an attorney. The system for getting people through seems to be very inefficient, so it is taking longer than it should."
Still, Bartell is backing his vote for Trump.
"I don't regret the vote," Bartell said in a statement.
Bartell was critical of ICE and called for systemic reform, yet said Trump isn’t to blame for the issue.
"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."
