    he doesn’t regret choice despite wife’s ICE arrest

    I think this says more about their relationship that it does about voting Trump

        “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

        Basically the motto of the south since the founding.

    I hope she knows this.

    She could probably do better just amongst the available men in her detention center.

      My guess is this is a dude who was convinced that “white American women are too sexual so you should find a tradwife in another country,” and I’m surprised there’s not more stories like this. But at the end of the day all the “I need a tradwife” dudes would rather get on their knees and swallow for trump, so here we are

      Edit: turns out they met just through work, which makes this almost more shitty that this dude is so willing to buy into the fascism

    His wife doesn’t deserve this, but he sure as fuck does. I hope she uses this as an opportunity to reconsider at least one choice.

    OK, I am all for outrage over the guy not having any remorse, buuuuuut:

    In February, Muñoz and Bartell traveled to Puerto Rico to finally take their honeymoon, and upon returning to the U.S. mainland, immigration agents stopped Muñoz and asked whether she was an American citizen. When she explained that she wasn’t but was in the process of obtaining a green card, they detained her.

    They left the country without her having a green card at the moment? Am I reading this right? How would you think that is a wise idea? And I am aware Puerto Rico is in a grey zone with US citizenship, she still seemed to need a Green card and knew that, so despite that you leave? Risky.

    Edit: corrected something that I got wrong.

    Another illegal taken care of, how quickly we moved from gang members and rapists to some Maga guy’s sex slave. It was almost like deporting criminals was just an excuse to deport checks notes anyone brown or who disagrees with full on fascism.
