The wife of a Trump voter who made national headlines for reiterating his support for the president even after immigration authorities detained her can be released from detention, a judge has ruled.
Camila Muñoz is a Peruvian citizen who stayed in the United States after her visa expired while she was working toward obtaining permanent residency. She was arrested in Puerto Rico in February on her way home from a belated honeymoon.
"Camila still has to fight her immigration case, but at least now she gets to do that from home, with her husband by her side," her attorney, David Rozas, said in a statement to Newsweek Friday morning. Muñoz's husband, Bradley Bartell, previously told Newsweek he didn't regret his vote for President Donald Trump.

Immigration advocates have called for a more careful approach from ICE as to whom it arrests when many immigrants have pending cases.
