Bradley Bartell and Camila Muñoz were on their way home to Wisconsin from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico last month when immigration officials approached them at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, David Rozas, an immigration attorney representing Muñoz, told HuffPost on Wednesday.
Muñoz had overstayed her J-1 exchange visitor visa, and her immigration status is pending following her marriage to Bartell, a United States citizen, Rozas said.
The lawyer said the couple did not have their documents for the adjustment of Muñoz’s status with them at the airport, prompting immigration officials to detain her.
She was taken to a Miami detention center before being transported to an ICE facility in Louisiana, Rozas said.
“As of right now, we have not been able to get a court date for her bond. We are waiting for her to be put in the system. That is what’s going on,” Rozas said.
Bartell told USA Today in a story published Sunday that he was worried about his wife.
