Trump Voter Stands by His Support of President After ICE Detains His Peruvian Wife on Return Trip From Honeymoon

A Wisconsin voter who backed President Trump in November is still sticking by the Republican – even after his Peruvian wife was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of a federal crackdown on illegal immigration last month.

Bradley Bartell is now worried about the well-being of his wife, Sylvia Camilla Muñoz-Lira, locked inside a detention center — and is seeking donations — after she was nabbed by ICE agents on Feb. 15 at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan. The pair were traveling home to Wisconsin Dells from their belated honeymoon in Puerto Rico when she was taken into custody.

Muñoz-Lira, who overstayed her J-1 visa, is now locked up at Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana.

“It was kind of like a slap in the face,” Bartell, 40, told The Post, explaining that a week went by before he heard from his wife and learned where she was being held.

“I was in shock and unsure what to do at the time. It was terrible.”

Bartell said they now speak every day on the phone for 15 minutes and keep in touch through a messaging system inside the detention center. But the newlywed is concerned for his wife’s mental and physical well-being as she remains behind bars awaiting a court date.
