New Delhi:
A man in Wisconsin who voted for President Donald Trump says that he does not regret his decision, even after the federal immigration authorities have arrested his wife on their return from their honeymoon.
The wife of Bradley Bartell, Camila Munoz, a Peruvian citizen, surpassed her visa but worked on obtaining permanent stay in the US. Despite their testing, Mr Bartell still supports Trump, who has promised the greatest massive deportation in American history. “I don't regret the mood,” Mr Bartell told Newsweek.
“He did not make the system, but he does have the chance to improve it. Hopefully all this attention will reveal how broken it is,” he said.
Mrs. Munoz arrived in Wisconsin Dells in a working study visa in 2019, which went when COVID-19 stopped international journeys. She worked in agriculture and hospitality, where she met Mr Bartell.
After initially lost his telephone number, she later made contact with him on Facebook again and started a serious relationship. The couple eventually married but delayed their honeymoon because of the pandemic.
In February they traveled to Puerto Rico for a long -awaited honeymoon. On their return, immigration agents asked Mrs. Munoz about her citizenship status. When she explained that she was busy obtaining a green card, she was held. She is now being held in an ice facility in Louisiana.
Speaking with Newsweek, Mr Bartell described the suffering to witness the detention of his wife. “It's all a nightmare,” he said. “We have a lawyer. The system is very inefficient, so it takes longer than should.”
Since sharing his story, Mr Bartell has confronted with a recoil. “I have received many hateful messages, many people say we deserve this. And many other insults,” he said.
Donald Trump has sworn large -scale deportations of migrants without carrying out papers, in particular with those with criminal records. Growing worries suggest that enforcement efforts focus on individuals who go beyond the “worst first” approach that Trump originally promised.
Ice officers have held non -violent perpetrators and legal residents as part of Trump's deportation plans, and the White House claims that everyone in the country is illegally considered a criminal.
Mr. Bartell has criticized ice cream and calls for reform. “Ice never really has information, it seems. The system must be renewed for better processes and communication between departments.” He also admitted that he considered moving to Peru when his wife is deported. “It happened to me, but it would be very difficult for my son,” he said.
Mr Bartell is not the only Trump supporter that is affected by the immigration policy of the administration. On March 8, the Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, was held in his house in a building of the University of Columbia for his pregnant wife. Mr. Khalil, known for his involvement in the campus protests, is also held in a detention center in Louisiana.
Since January, the US has deported 388 Indian subjects, the government told Parliament on Friday. Of them, 333 were flown back on three military flights in February.
